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: Tummytuck And BBL Together Not A Good Idea Thank you for recognizing this important point. Most board-certified plastic surgeons prefer to stage these procedures. It is safer and better for your recovery. BBL and Tummytuck operations each carry a higher incidence of blood clot formation and possible harm or blockage of the lungs. Performing them simultaneously statistically increases the chances of this occurring. Also, recovery from BBL requires no pressure on your buttocks for two weeks after surgery to preserve fat take. You also cannot lie on your stomach after tummy tuck, so this limits the positions that you can recover. Also, the maximum OR time for an ambulatory operation should be no more than 6 hours, Lipo 360, BBL and TT can take longer. It is best to perform the BBL first, to allow your surgeon to harvest as much fat as possible for transfer. 4 to 6 months later, tummytuck surgery can then be performed. Be certain to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to increase chances for the safest and best possible results. Best of luck.

Answer: Combining procedures You raise a good point. Some procedures make sense to have done at the same time, for example a breast augmentation with a tummy tuck, while others present more challenges. It's true that positioning can be an issue for those who have a tummy tuck and BBL at the same time. Recovery can be quite uncomfortable as you will need to remain off of your tummy as well as your back. The sides are an option but still can be quite uncomfortable. After a tummy tuck the preferred position is semi reclined. Perhaps it's best to have these procedures done in stages.

Answer: Tummy Tuck and BBL It is certainly possible to perform these surgeries at the same time; from a recovery standpoint, it does present a bit more of a logistical challenge but certainly a doable one. Following a BBL (fat transfer to the buttocks), I advise patients to not sit on their buttocks directly for the first two weeks and then for about 15 minutes at a time for weeks 3-4. For sitting, one can sit on a "booty pillow" that distributes pressure over the posterior thighs. For sleeping, patients will sleep prone (one their belly), often with a body pillow under their torso so that they have some flexion at the hips to help alleviate the tightness sensation of the abdomen. There is certainly a maximum amount of time recommended for elective surgery; depending upon what areas you want treated, it is possible that some of them may have to be staged.
