How does one recover from both of these at the same time if for the tummy tuck you have to sit/lay on you back and for the BBL you normally have to lay on your side or stomach? Is it safe to have them together?

Answer: Lipo360 + Tummy tuck - VASER HD, J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite tightening, fat grafting for buttock lift/BBL we do this often in our practice together and there is a 2 week healingtime. we do quicker healing and more weight loss with hormonal therapy before and after (see linke to dr jill stocker in our practice this can be done virtually for weight loss, skin tightening and faster healing). You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty). Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.

Answer: Candidate for BBL & Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. There are doctors who will may perform these procedures together, however my preference is to stage them. I personally do not recommend my patients perform a BBL and a Tummy Tuck at the same time as it makes recovery difficult not being able to sleep on your back (BBL) or stomach (TT). In my opinion, candidates should proceed with the liposuction and BBL and then later addressing the loose skin (tummy tuck), as liposuction alone won't address excess skin. As always, consult with a plastic surgeon in person so they may better address the procedures with you and help you achieve the aesthetic results you desire. Good luck!

Answer: Combination of surgeries Dear Lovenit, I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks after BBL. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. They can sleep on their sides. 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.
