Is it safe to have a mommy makeover done after having two BBL done already?

Question

Is it normal to be scared before getting a mommy makeover? I'm starting to panic and I'm not sure if I should continue! I am a 39 year old mother of 2 children 6 and 14 years of age. At times I think to myself what if I don't make it thru surgery... But this has been something I've been wanting to do since I had my kids and got BBL done instead of the surgery I should've gotten first . I set up my appointment for surgery for September 28, 2023 that's literally 1 month a week.

Combining multiple cosmetic procedures, such as having a mommy makeover after having two Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs), is a decision that should be made carefully in consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Each surgical procedure comes with its own set of considerations, and combining them may increase the complexity of the surgery.

Here are some factors to consider:

Overall Health:

Your overall health is a critical factor in determining whether it is safe to undergo multiple surgeries. Your surgeon will assess your medical history, current health status, and any potential risk factors.
Surgical Risks:

Combining procedures increases the overall time spent under anesthesia, which can pose additional risks. Your surgeon will carefully evaluate the potential risks and benefits, considering factors such as blood clot formation, anesthesia complications, and surgical stress on the body.
Recovery Time:

Combining procedures may affect the overall recovery time. You may need a more extended period for healing, and the initial recovery phase may be more challenging.
Results:

While combining procedures can address multiple concerns in a single surgery, it's essential to discuss realistic expectations for the results. Your surgeon will help you understand what can be achieved through a mommy makeover after having previous BBLs.
Surgeon's Expertise:

Choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in performing combination procedures. An experienced surgeon can minimize risks and optimize outcomes.
Communication:

Open and clear communication with your surgeon is crucial. Discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations during preoperative consultations to ensure that you both have a shared understanding of the desired outcomes.
Ultimately, the safety and feasibility of having a mommy makeover after two BBLs depend on your individual circumstances and the expertise of your surgeon. It's important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who can thoroughly assess your case, provide personalized recommendations, and guide you through the decision-making process.

Keep in mind that safety is a top priority, and your surgeon will consider your well-being when determining the appropriateness of combining procedures.

Dear 2021Changdoll,
generally speaking, previous BBL is not contraindication for mommy makeover. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

It’s not unusual for patients to feel some apprehension prior to their surgery. However, studies have shown that a negative mindset going into surgery can also negatively impact the surgical experience and recovery. Rather than thinking about the worst, why not think about how amazing you’ll look afterward, and how your improved appearance will positively impact your sense of self? If your surgeon is board certified, experienced and reputable, trust them to help you achieve your goals.

Thank you for your query. Mommy makeover can be very safe in experienced hands and if you are otherwise physically fit. In fact, BBL can be riskier. Please do your research and find a board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

It's important that you discuss your concerns with your surgeon.  What exactly that you are nervous about? Anesthesia? Recovery? Results?  Be sure that you are having your surgery with a board certified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility.  It is important that you are comfortable and confident as you prepare for surgery.

Since no posted photos to review I have many questions??? Why 2 BBL's? Why use a CLINIC over private practice plastic surgeon? Why not MMO first before BBLs? So you see you really need to see or virtual with boarded private practice plastic surgeons for honest answers, NOT a clinic based "surgeon".

There really isn’t anything we can tell you regarding your anxiety for surgery. That’s some thing you have to work out on your own. You did include pictures so we can’t address your candidacy for the procedure.
There’s always inherent risk with surgical procedures, and the decision to have elective. Cosmetic surgery is an individual one that should be based on what you’re trying to achieve compared to what you’re willing to go through with a healthy assessment of risk versus benefits.
To understand the potential benefit of the procedure we need to understand your candidacy for the operation in the first place.
Best,
