I'm 5'4 curently at 190lbs and losing 30lbs to 160lbs before surgury on 12/19/12.I have 3 kids and tied my tubes.Now I'm ready to fix the damage!I went to see several docs that said I need a TT do to the heavyness of my stomach.I want my BBL & I went to see doc and he said that it's best to do a TT 1st then a BBL.I feel that i want all the fat sucked out then tighten up, I feel I'm going backwards. He also said if I get BBL 1st that he can't do the TT until up to 1 year later. I'm confused,HELP!
Answer: Tummy tuck before BBL
This is a great question. I have experience with this scenario. I would recommend having a tummy tuck done first to remove the extra skin, and then a BBL 3-4 months later. One reason to do it in this order, is that you only have to wait 3-4 months to have the BBL. Another reason is that if for any circumstance (e.g. financial, personal), you are not able to have the second procedure (i.e. BBL), your body will look significantly improved. If you choose the reverse order and have the BBL done first, you are likely to have loose hanging skin after the liposuction, specifically in the lower abdomen. You generally have to wait about 6-9 months for the inflammation from the liposuction to subside, before proceeding with a tummy tuck. If you cannot have the second procedure which is the tummy tuck (e.g. for financial or personal reasons), you are left with hanging skin and an unattractive figure. Many patients worry about having enough fat for the BBL if they do a tummy tuck first. If you go to a surgeon who is experienced with liposuction and the brazilian butt lift, he or she will let you know if you have enough fat. So therefore please consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is well versed in these procedures.

Answer: Is It Best to Get a TT Before You Get a BBL? (photo) Hello dear! Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well. Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for liposuction with a BBL and a tummy tuck with muscle repair, to give you a nice tight tummy and to get rid of the extra skin, and I think you'll get very good results. Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your waist, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a beautiful heart shape, along with the tummy tuck. In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know. Good luck :)

Answer: Multiple surgeries congratulations on losing the weight. certainly i have not examined you, but i would be concerned about not using the fat from the tummy tuck in your bottom. i would probably do both at once. i would start with liposuction of your tummy. once done, flip you over and continue with the lipo of the back and hips. then after processing the fat, place it into your buttocks as necessary. after this, flip you over and finish the tummy tuck. i would want you off your bottom for the first 24 hours. so you could be on your side laying down. the next day you could sit up. this way all this could be accomplished with one surgery.

Answer: Tummy tuck before brazilian butt lift
i would actually advise you to lose weight prior to any procedures. You will be healthier and have a better result. The tummy tuck should be the first procedure you should do.
