Is it legal in the states (UNITED STATES) for a doctor to perform a BBL and Tummy Tuck at the same time?

Question

I've been talking to 2 surgery coordinators at 2 different cosmetic surgery facilities in Miami and at one place I was told the surgeon cant perform those 2 procedures at the same time. The other place told me it's common for it to be done together. I know In the Dominican Republic they both can be done but not in the states

Yes it can safely be done,I do it frequently and there aren't any laws against it,consult carefully with a board certified PS,best of luck

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate your question.

Yes these procedures can be performed together.  However, I do not recommend and advise that you stage them for optimal results.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

It is legal to perform both procedures at the same time.  However, the recovery is more difficult and complicated. Staging the two procedures is recommended. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided infromation as well.. A patient can safely do bbl with tummy tuck and lipo at the same time without any problem, besides that you have to perform the procedure with a board certified plastic surgeon

Helen Perakis, MD · Answer

There is no law as to whether these two procedures can be done at the same time. The reason that many surgeons like to stage these procedures, myself included, is that you want to keep pressure off both sites for proper healing. If you have done a tummy tuck- then you would spend time on your back in a bent beachchair position- this would place pressure on your butt.  Whereas if you had a Brazilian butt lift- you would want to sleep and lay on your abdomen.
