Answer: Safety Combining procedures is commonly done and considered safe, but there is a limit. Your surgeon will evaluate if it is safe for you based on your medical history and procedures you are considering. Every case is handled individually. In consideration of these particular procedures you will want to consider comfort during recovery. As there will be surgery performed on the front and back of the body, you will be limited in positioning during recovery.

Answer: Is it safe to get a tummy tuck, lipo 360 and BBL all done at the same time? If you are in good health with a BMI close to 30, the tummy tuck and liposuction/BBL combination is safe. Many of my patients only want to go through surgery and recovery one time but realize that recovery can be challenging and uncomfortable. However, there are creative ways to manage the recovery position. Pillows can be placed under the lower back and the posterior thighs and patients can sleep on their backs. Lawn chairs or a cushion with a hole cut out for the buttocks can perform a similar role. My patient coordinator suggests a "mattress" called a holo lilo. It's a swimming pool raft, not a mattress, with a hole cut out in the middle for pregnant ladies to lay on their stomachs. You will lay on your back with your head elevated and your buttocks in the hole of the raft so there's no pressure on them.

Answer: Tummy tuck, lipo, and BBL in one procedure Hi, thanks for your question. If you're in good surgical hands and you're a good candidate for all three procedures, yes you can safely get these procedures done at the same time. That said, we typically don't recommend getting a tummy tuck and BBL done simultaneously because the recovery is quite difficult. Following a tummy tuck you can't lie on your stomach and following a BBL you can't put any pressure on your bum for at least two weeks meaning no sleeping on your back, which is why we tend to stick to combination procedures that are focused on the same side of the body. I would recommend a tummy tuck and liposuction as a combination procedure and the BBL as a separate surgery. That said I highly recommend that you book an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in order to assess whether these are the procedures that will give you the result that you hope to achieve. You can also then discuss this and any other concerns you might have.
