Can a BBL and a thigh lift be performed at the same time?

Question

I have a lot of loose skin on my inner thigh from losing 115lbs, and I am not so blessed in my rear area. I would like to know if a thigh lift and BBL can be performed at the same time? I also am looking to book by September/ October. Any specialists? I live in NJ and I am willing to travel for the best results possible.

Thank you for your question. Combination procedures are safe and very effective in the right hands.  The surgeon HAS to be an expert in EACH procedure and must have a lot of experience in performing combination procedures and can minimize the operative time. Combination procedures can give powerful results but SAFETY is KEY.  You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Short answer YES, this can be possibly made at the same time,the question is Do you even qualify for a BBL? after loosing 115 lbs, the patients normally need a different procedure as a Real Butt lift, because the problem usually is not a lack of volume, is a real excess of skin. If you do qualify for the BBL, then YES go for them together, but if you dont, dont waist your money in a procedure that will not do anything for you. Send us some pictures so we can give you a better answer. Best of luck,

Losing 115 pounds is a GREAT achievement but it suggests that you may have several other cosmetic issues than just sagging inner thighs and flat buttocks.I would see a Plastic surgeon who is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPScom). This assures you that he is a real Plastic surgeon who IS also certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPSorg). Discuss everything that may be bothering you with him and see what may be the best path to reach your cosmetic goals. (Such as: Do you have excess sagging tummy skin? Do you have a sagging butt (a BBL will NOT lift a sagging butt). Do you have Sagging lateral thighs? etc)In Cosmetic Surgery we need to always weigh possible results VS risks and complications VS Recovery VS patient expectations. Yes an inner thigh lift CAN be done with a BBL IF you have no other medical conditions, if the results of these procedures would make you happy and IF you understand the associated recovery.  Discuss it with your surgeon.Peter Aldea MDMemphis, TN
