scheduled for 1-12-2017. After asking about steps in the procedure which was estimated for 6.5 hours. I was told TT will be performed first. Can this affect my Tummy Tuck since I'll be flat on it while the bbl is performed?
Answer: TT & BBL Thank you for your question.Assuming that your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon, im sure he has it sequenced like this for a reason. Your health and safety are the surgeon’s number one priority and every surgeon has their own style or technique when performing surgery but we all have the same overall consensus that the patient’s health and safety is our top priority and we will do our best to obtain the patients desired results. I generally do stage these procedures simply because you will have to refrain from sitting on your buttocks for at least 2 weeks after a BBL which means you would need to sleep on your stomach, which may not be optimal when just having a tummy tuck. I would make sure you discuss your post-operative instructions with your doctor and any other questions or concerns you may have so you have all the answers you need before having the surgeries done.Best of luck in your endeavors!Sincerely,

Answer: Getting a Tummy tuck with bbl. I'm concerned with my Surgeon doing the Tummy tuck first, then flipping me over to do the BBL These two procedures are not generally performed at the same time. When having a tummy tuck with a muscle repair, you are going to find it hard for the first few weeks to stretch out due to everything being so tight. Also, you are not going to want to be laying on your stomach at all. A BBL requires you to prevent any sitting or laying on your butt for the first couple of weeks in order to protect the fat graft. Both of these combined really leaves you with no way to lay or sit and be able to protect and care for both of them at the same time.
