Can I Get the Mommy Makeover and a Brazilian Butt Lift in the Same Procedure?

Although a Mommy Makeover typically involves the Tummy and Breasts It also can be any other combination.You can certainly do a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and in fact harvest fat from the tummy including the extra part that would be discarded and use if for the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).

#Combined operations are often performed with our #Gynecology colleagues. Tubal ligation is a common post pregnancy procedure which is done at the time of many of the surgeries included with a #MommyMakeover. If you require a gynecologic operation or study (laparoscopy) and are considering a plastic surgery procedure, discuss these issues with your physician and board-certified plastic surgeon. Also, combining these #procedures may decrease anesthetics, costs, and recovery time.

Many procedures can be combined. Cosmetic procedures such as Brazilian Butt Lift (#BBL), Thigh Lift (#TL) and Mommy Makeover (#MMO), which usually concentrates on the breast and abdomen areas, may be combined together. However, I look at the risk factors such as surgery time greater than 6 hours, or #anesthesia time, increased risks of DVT, prolonged  #healing, #positioning after surgery to name a few, which are a lot to consider. These factors are relative to performing any variety of combinations.  Your procedures should be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

It’s definitely possible to perform a Brazilian Butt Lift
and Mommy Makeover simultaneously.Unfortunately, the recovery following this combination can be extremely difficult.For this reason, most plastic surgeons prefer
staging these procedures.The origin of
this problem is simple, Mommy Makeover patients should lie on their backs following
surgery, while Brazilian Butt Lift patients should lie on their abdomens following
surgery.This is obviously a difficult
proposition when both procedures are performed together.When
patients undergo this surgical combination, safety should be everyone’s first
priority.For this reason, procedures of
this magnitude should be performed in accredited surgical centers.The operative times should never exceed four
to six hours.In
contrast, performing these procedures simultaneously offers several
advantages.These include synergy, less
expense and one recovery.For
these reasons, it’s important to consider each case on an individual
basis.No two patients are every exactly
alike.They have different anatomic
findings, aesthetic goals and social situations.It’s therefore, important to tailor the
surgical approach to the patient’s needs.

   The mommy makeover typically entails breast augmentation and tummy tuck.  I would advise performing the liposuction of the abdomen, sides, and back with the fat transfer to the buttocks first.  Then return 3 to 6 months later and perform the tummy tuck and breast augmentation.  This will produce better results and will add a measure of safety.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Brazilian buttlift Los Angeles, CA

I like to have one done at a time so you can have a side to sleep on without pain.  You should not be laying on your butt lift if there is fat transferred so one side at a time.

To be clear, a mommy makeover is generally considered to be any combination of breast augmentation or breast lift and abdominal liposuction, tummy tuck, or both.  Most patients undergoing a mommy makeover require a breast augmentation, often with a breast lift, and a tummy tuck.  These procedures alone are quite extensive and require up to five or six hours of surgery.

In my practice, I would not perform a Brazilian butt lift along with a breast augmentation/lift and tummy tuck.  These combined procedures would take upwards of eight hours of surgery and is a significant amount of surgery to perform in an outpatient setting.  Additionally, in most states, there is a maximum number of hours per surgery that can be performed in an outpatient setting.

However, I often perform a tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift or breast augmentation and Brazilian butt lift during the same surgery.

Most importantly, be sure to choose a plastic surgeon that is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

the short answer is absolutely.  If you have a 'mommy makeover' then try to have gluteal augmentation at a later date then you will not likely have enough fat for a significant improvement.  At the time of mommy makeover the fat that would have been thrown away can be useed to give you a nice full shaped gluteal area!  I hope this helps!

 

All the best,

What patients want to hear: "Why yes, of course"

The reality: increased anesthesia risk due to extended length of procedure

- increased DVT risk due to length of procedure

- Post-op positioning issues due to sitting in flexed position (required for tummy tuck), putting pressure on fat grafted area of buttocks, leading to re-absorption of fat and poor result in buttock contouring.

Personally, I would not combine these two procedures, for these reasons.  But there are surgeons that do....

 

Who doesn't want to look good from both the front and the back?  Naturally, everyone does and everyone would also like to accomplish this goal on one fell swoop.  But the buttock surgery requires you lie on your stomach for a few days and the tummy tuck requires you to lie on your back.  It is unwise to try to do that much at one time.  Be smart!  Break it up.  The better results will be worth it.

For a standard Brazilian Butt Lift and a full Mommy Makeover with a tummy tuck and a breast augmentation, I would recommend waiting at least 3 months in between procedures.  It's a lot of surgery, and the recoveries will be easier.
