I went to a few consultations to find the right doctor and I'm a little bit worried because doctor said that I can do lipo 360 to remove some of my back fat and perform a BBL fat transfer to breast and tummy tuck all in one day. He said it's a seven-hour surgery. Is this safe? I'm so confused.
Answer: Multiple surgeries? Thanks for your question. The lower abdomen fat that is thrown away in a tummy tuck can be used for BBL. For appropriate candidates who want BBL and tummy tuck I perform them at the same time so that fat is not wasted. There are many factors that can affect fat reabsorption but i do have my patients put pillows under their back and thighs to take pressure off the buttocks non the less. For safety I stay within 5 hours. Multiple procedures can increase risk but TT and BBL can be combined in the right patient in the right hands.Best wishes.

Answer: BBL and Autologous breast augmentation with Tummy tuck and 360 liposuction Thank you for your question. There are multiple advantages to combining the procedures including having fat available for a BBL and breast augmentation, having a single recovery and also an advantage in terms of the total cost. The most important factor against combining the procedures is safety which will depend on the extent of surgery needed and the total time taken . I usually try to keep the total duration of surgery to less than five or six hours. . Please find an experienced Board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Answer: Is it safe to get lipo 360 BBL, fat transfer to breast and tummy tuck in a one-day surgery? Fat transfer to breast, 360 Lipo/BBL, and TT can be done safely at the same time in 6 hours or less with favorable outcome, one recovery, and less expense. The one major drawback is that resting comfortably following the surgery is a challenge. I recommend that my patients sleep on their sides. Patients can also rest in other positions as long as the other areas do not receive pressure. There are creative ways to manage this. For example, my patient coordinator recommends a plastic inflatable with a hole in it (called a lilo), where instead of your tummy, you place your butt, so you can sleep on your back with pillows propping up your neck and head. I typically do liposuction of the front with the BAM and then liposuction of the back with the fat transfer. Special care is taken so that the breasts are not compressed during the BBL. If you prefer to stage the procedures, have the TT six months after the other surgeries.

Answer: Combining procedures Combining procedures is common and considered safe, but there is a limit. Typically surgeons will limit surgical time to 6 hours or less. The health history of the patient is also a key consideration. With the procedures you are considering you may want to speak to your surgeon about positioning during recovery as you will be unable to lay on your front or back.
