Tummy tuck, BBL, fat transfer to butt and hips all in round 1. Is it safe?

Thank you very much for your question.Yes, you can combine a tummy tuck and fat transfer to your buttocks in one operation.  We do this frequently in my practice.  The amount of cc's that can be transferred depends on the amount of fat you have to "harvest" from your problem areas, and the ability of your buttocks and hips to receive the fat (you can't put too much in, otherwise the increased pressure in the area may cause the grafted fat to melt away).  I recommend visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon who can talk about your options.Regarding sleeping position, I typically recommend patients lay on their back with their head elevated (a reclining chair works very well), and place a pillow at their lower back and another under the thighs to create a "cradle" for the buttocks and float it off the mattress/chair to reduce the pressure on the buttocks.  Best of luck!

Thank your for your question. A tummy tuck can address the skin and muscle laxity of the abdominal region as well as reducing the excess fatty tissue. A brazilian butt lift helps to shape the buttock by borrowing fat from one part (or several) and transferring this fat to another. They are both extremely rewarding procedures. The best approach for a patient who wants to have both procedures is to stage them and possibly start with the BBL. Here is why:1) A brazilian butt lift is transferring fat from one area to the buttock. One common donor area is the tummy. Once the fat is transferred, you need to keep pressure off the buttock as this allows new blood supply to develop to the newly grafted fat cells. Any stress such as pressure can reduce the efficacy of this process and hence you may lose some fat. Hence, no sitting or laying on your bottom for ~2 weeks.2) A tummy tuck is removing excess skin and tightening the muscle as well as remove extra fat. To make the skin removal efficient and protect the incision, you surgeon will often remove skin while your hips are flexed. You will need to maintain this position after surgery for about a week. This will required you to sleep in a recliner position for a good week. In addition, l often combine liposuction of the abdomen and flanks as part of this procedure and once this fat is removed, it cannot be stored for the brazilian buttock lift in the future.Since the recovery process for these two popular procedures compete, I would recommend staging them. If your surgeon is needing as much donor areas to recruit as much fat as possible, then I would start with the brazilian buttock lift so you can use the abdominal and flank regions as donor areas.
