BBL or Tummy Tuck first? I will be having a MM w/ an extended tmy tuck, but first a bbl. I have diastis recti. (photo)

Question

I plan on losing about 20 more pounds. I have an extremely saggy belly, I know my belly and flanks will sag more after the bbl. In all honesty, would a bbl actually help me? My butt will be flatter after weight loss. Will having the bbl first also help with a better t tuck outcome? Or should I have a tummy tuck first? I'm afraid of more loose skin if ttuck first, then bbl. Can all that fat on my abdomen and flanks be used?

I would recommend losing the weight before and not after your Brazilian Butt Lift.  Otherwise you may be disappointed in the final result of the BBL.  Good luck!

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us. Congratulations on tout weight loss. Trying to lose weight before a surgical procedure its a very delicate matter, since in many cases a restrictive diet can cause problems, such as anemia, electrolyte disturbances, decreased protein, etc ... retarding the healing process and damaging the surgery.i recommend you a Full Tummy Tuck with muscle repair, to get a flat abdomen and waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).For safety reasons, to be a good candidate for  TT+Lipo+ BBL at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.Therefore, you must be a healthy person, within an appropriate BMI and no history of diseases that increase the surgical / anesthetic risk degree.Finally, I recommend you a skilled certified plastic surgeon in body contouring surgery and experienced in cases like yours where the planned operating time is less than five hours.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for your question.  I would recommend having the BBL first.  This will allow your surgeon to use all the fat from the abdomen for the BBL.  Also, by doing lipo on the abdomen first, you will get a better TT result because a little more skin will be able to be removed and the abdomen will be flatter.

It is important to loose all the weight you can or want and be stable for about 6 months...not loosing or gaining much more weight during that period. Then you can do the extended tummy tuck including liposuction and the BBL and you will obtain excellent results.

Hi.. thank you for the question and photos... I suggest you two options... If your Blood test levels are ok... it is better to do both procedures combined in order to have better resultsIf not. I suggest you Tummy Tuck first and then Liposuction with BBL.
