Do you do the BBL first and then the TT or vice versa? (photos)

Question

I am wanting to get a BBL and I know I need a tummy tuck but want to have as much fat as possible to give my butt the best shape possible. What order is the best. Do you do the BBL first and then the TT or vice versa.

Moises Salama, MD · Answer

Thanks for your questions. While a a tummy tuck and a BBL can be done at the same time, they are best done separately. It makes sense to do the tummy tuck first. Then 4-5 months later, a BBL can be performed. The reason being that if you have significant excess skin and you get liposuction in that area, the area will look wrinkled, scarred, and irregular. Also doing significant liposuction on the abdomen and then having a tummy tuck later can predispose you to wound healing complications after the tummy tuck. 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. You can make both procedure at the same time without any complications just following the Plastic Surgeon pre op and post op recommendations.  I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Hi, thanks for your question. I would recommend the BBL first, in order not to waste any fat that can be used to harvest for the BBL. Ultimately, however, this will probably depend partly on your surgeon's decision and your own, depending on which part of your body you would like to address first. Please don't hesitate to speak to your surgeon about these and any other concerns that you might have.

If you decide to stage them, would recommend that you have the lipo and BBL first, followed by the TT six months later. Fat can be harvested from the abdomen, sides, flanks, lower back, upper back, posterior neck, submental areas, jowls, arms, thighs, calves, ankles, buttocks, hips, knees as your desire.

Dear raquel_5404,
in most cases plastic surgeons recommend BBL first and tummy tuck later. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
