How soon can I have Brazilian Butt Lift after Tummy Tuck?

Thank your for your question. A tummy tuck can address the skin and
muscle laxity of the abdominal region as well as reducing the excess
fatty tissue. A brazilian butt lift helps to shape the buttock by
borrowing fat from one part (or several) and transferring this fat to
another. They are both extremely rewarding procedures. The best
approach for a patient who wants to have both procedures is to stage
them and possibly start with the BBL. Here is why:1) A brazilian
butt lift is transferring fat from one area to the buttock. One common
donor area is the tummy. Once the fat is transferred, you need to keep
pressure off the buttock as this allows new blood supply to develop to
the newly grafted fat cells. Any stress such as pressure can reduce the
efficacy of this process and hence you may lose some fat. Hence, no
sitting or laying on your bottom for ~2 weeks.2) A tummy tuck is
removing excess skin and tightening the muscle as well as remove extra
fat. To make the skin removal efficient and protect the incision, you
surgeon will often remove skin while your hips are flexed. You will
need to maintain this position after surgery for about a week. This
will required you to sleep in a recliner position for a good week. In
addition, l often combine liposuction of the abdomen and flanks as part
of this procedure and once this fat is removed, it cannot be stored for
the brazilian buttock lift in the future.Since the recovery process
for these two popular procedures compete, I would recommend staging
them. If you are surgeon is needing as much donor areas to recruit as
much fat as possible, then I would start with the brazilian buttock lift
so you can use the abdominal and flank regions as donor areas. Regardless of the order, I would recommend waiting ~ 6 months between procedures.

Thanks for your questions. You can have a BBL between 4-6 months after the tummy tuck as long as you're cleared for surgery. I would recommend getting a proper evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question. I would wait 6 months after a tummy tuck to liposuction the abdomen.  Consult with a board certified Plastic Surgeon.  Best wishes.

Thank you for your question, I regularly advice my patients to wait six months before having another procedure due to the anesthesia; Its best to recover completely from a previous procedure to avoid complications.Good luck.Salvador Pantoja M.D.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I would recommend waiting six months between surgeries, but remember that all depends on your health and lab tests.
l suggest you make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Thanks so much for your inquiry. It merely depends in your recovery process, your health status and the opinion of your surgeon. How do you feel? Are you feeling recovered already? Try to have a face to face consultation with your PS in order to examine your donor areas, discuss your expectations and your possible outcome. Plus you will need new lab work to check your overall health. Good luck in your plastic surgery journey!

If no back liposuction was performed , then as soon as your body recovers from the first surgery, your are ready for your BBL. I would say 3 months after the Tummy tuck your hemoglobin levels should be ok to proceed .Best wishes  

Thank you for your question.A good time is 4 months , but I had cases where I made the tummy tuck a few days later after the Brazilian Butt Lift. This will greatly depend on the type of patient. 


Many
surgeons, including myself, offer online virtual consultations where you send
us your photos and we can estimate the cost. I, like many surgeons, also
offer free consultations so that you can be examined and given the most
accurate quote.



Choose a board certified
plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian Butt Lifts and has privileges
to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This says his credentials
have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry risk, talk to your
plastic surgeon and choose one wisely.

I would wait until you are fully healed from your tummy tuck.  I would wait 8 weeks.  The BBL procedure involves harvest fat from areas of your body where there is excess fat and injecting that fat carefully into the central zone of your buttock. In addition, it involves liposculpting the buttock to facilitate a more rounded look. The common donor sites for this procedure is your posterior waist/flanks, lateral thighs, back, waist, and anterior tummy.
