I live in NJ and want to get both a Tummy Tuck and a BBL at the same time from a Dr. anywhere along the east coast from FL to NJ. I am 5'4" ,150 lbs and in great shape as I exercise regularly.

Answer: BBL and Tummy Tuck at the Same Time
In general I do not recommend having a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) and a Tummy Tuck at the same time. While it is technically possible, the recovery process is more difficult. Additionally, after BBL, I recommend that patients do not put pressure on their buttocks to help the fat grafts survive. However, after a Tummy Tuck, you are in the seated position or "beach chair" position for several days and this would put extra pressure on the BBL fat grafts. For my patients, I generally recommend separating the procedures to two separate times. Combining Tummy Tuck with a breast rejuvenating procedure or face rejuvenating procedure is much more common and would not interfere with the recovery process.
Good Luck.

Answer: Tummy Tuck and Brazilian Butt lift at the same time.
Based on your photos, you seem to be an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck. You have extra fat and a full skin fold, all of which are treated by a tummy tuck. Only with a physical exam would I be able to evaluate your muscles. In regards to the request for fat grafts to the buttocks, based on the photo you do have enough fat to "donate" to your buttocks but I can not tell where you would like to place the fat. I have long discussions with my patients as to shape and size their desired buttocks. You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who has a lot of experience with these procedures, then adjust your budget as needed. Complications can be more costly than the surgery done well.
