Thigh Lift and BBL Combined? Or is it better to do the BBL first and then the Thigh Lift?

Great question!  Yes you can perform both the thigh lift and BBL together.  Instead of having to heal from two different surgeries, you only need to heal from one.  One procedure will not effect the results of the other.  I let my patients sit after 2-3 days from a BBL, which will not affect the thigh lift either.  Best of luck and hope this information helps!Dr. Roger Tsai@DrRogerTsai

You can do your BBL procedure and also have some fat removed from your thighs. Then at a later stage undergo a thigh lift. To combine these two procedures will make for a very uncomfortable recovery. Consult with a few plastic surgeons to see if you are a good surgical candidate.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

I perform this combination every week, and the key is the execution of the procedures and careful recovery advice.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

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 think it is a bad idea to combine these surgeries.  I think it will limit your mobility too much and set you up for a potential DVT.
Best of Luck!

Thank you for your question. Opinions on whether to perform BBL and thigh lift together will vary among surgeons. In my office, I separate the two procedures.  I separate the procedures because I believe that it improves safety and helps with recovery. I start with a BBL and harvest fat from available donor sites. This could include the tummy, waist, hips, arms, thighs. Three months later excisional procedures are performed. This could include a tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift. You'll get the most helpful information by visiting a board certified plastic surgeon.
