BBL and Mini Tummy Tuck with tightening of lower abdominal muscles. Will 3 weeks of downtime be enough?

Thanks for your
question.  3 weeks may be enough time for
recovery.  I will tell my patients that
they might be able to return to work within 2 weeks, but always plan for 4
weeks.  You just never know if you will
need the extra time off before you feel up to getting back.  So, it really depends on how your recovery
goes.  I hope this helps. 

Hello and Great Question.  I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure.  My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel.  I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist.

I find that if you are only having a "mini" then the lipo alone should tighten the skin enough.  If you need full muscle tightening a "mini" usually doesn't cut it.  Best of Luck!  Please reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.

2 weeks is usually enough downtime even with a full tummy tuck.   I perform the tummy tuck and BBL in combination several times a week, and I have found that minitummy tuck is inadequate in the vast majority of cases, particularly when muscle plication is involved.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
