Can I achieve a flat stomach with lipo 360 and Brazilian Butt lift or do I have to have a tummy tuck? (photos)

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a good candidate for another 360Lipo with BBL which will help to flatten your stomach and improve your overall shape.

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you a Tummy tuck with liposuction for betters results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for

Dear e2018, thanks for sharing your question and pictures Analyzing your case I can say you're a good candidate for Lipo in your abdomen, flanks and back + Tummy Tuck + BBL. I'm sure those procedures will give you an amazing result! Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Dear e2018,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

I doubt additional lipo or even using skin tightening devices (J-Plasma or BodyTite) can tighten your abdominal skin enough to satisfy you. But the added fat transfer would easily enhance your buttock. Finish pregnancies then seek full TT. For a round 2 the fees are in the $7,000 ranges BTW.

Secondary Liposuction often doesn’t deliver as much as what the primary procedure did. Most patients can get about 25% of what the first liposuction procedure delivered but it all depends how aggressive or how much fat loss removed with the first procedure.

The body does not regrow new fat so if 80% of the fat was removed with the first procedure there’s only 20% of the fat someone was born with left to work with for a secondary procedure.


Fat transfer on the other hand is cumulative and the potential improvements get greater with each consecutive procedure as long as there is sufficient fat to use for a grafting.

Weight loss is probably your best option for getting a smaller midsection. Muscle separation is contributing significantly to how your abdomen looks but there may also be visceral fat contributing. Strive for maintaining your weight at what most physicians consider ideal or close to ideal BMI.


Secondary BBL procedures can create a cartoonish overdone figure unless the first BBL was conservative. You didn’t include proper pictures to make an assessment of your buttocks but from the pictures you did include it doesn’t look like you need a second BBL.

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos, I note a degree of fullness of the abdomen and flanks.Abdominal fullness may be due to fat accumulation between the skin and underlying musculature, anterior abdominal wall muscle stretching as the result of previous pregnancy or obesity, or the presence of visceral fat (fatty deposits around the internal organs). One cannot discern among the three entities without a physical examination.I agree with your decision to hold off on a tummy tuck until your family is complete.If the fullness is due to fatty deposits, round 2 will be successful.Best wishes...
