Want a BBL and tummy tuck combo: 5’6 and 220 lbs. With my bone structure is it a reasonable expectation? (photo)

Question

5’6 220(losing weight just had a baby 2 months ago) I’m scheduled to get a Brazilian butt lift tummy tuck combo. I’m very active even during pregnancy so my walk around weight is on the higher end. But I’ve never been able to get rid of my tummy. I’ve been trying to look at before and after photos for a reasonable expectation. I attached photos of what I want to look like and with my bone structure is it a reasonable expectation?

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you a Tummy Tuck to get a flat abdomen and waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you a Tummy tuck and liposuction with BBL for betters results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for

At your height and weight, your BMI is over 35. Your BMI is only one indication of your health and the results you can achieve with the surgeries. Some board plastic surgeons will not perform plastic surgery on any patient with a BMI over 35. I like to see my TT and BBL patients at a BMI of 30 or lower. This decreases complications during and after surgery and increases the probability of you achieving your aesthetic goals.

Dear vanessareuter,
I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

Thanks for your photos, though very hard to see well. In Florida office surgery can NOT combine full lipo/BBL with extended TT (which is what you need) in 1 operation or combination. You need 2 separate surgeries.
