Second guessing my tummy tuck with BBL, am I doing the right thing? (Photos)

You will get your best results with a full tummy tuck because of the excess skin. However, I would suggest not doing it the same time as the BBL for you will have more difficulty sleeping and getting out of bed.

It is possible to combine a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) with a tummy tuck procedure, and this combination surgery is becoming increasingly popular. A BBL involves using liposuction to remove fat from other areas of the body, such as the hips, back, and thighs, and transferring it to the buttocks to enhance their shape and size.
A tummy tuck procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightening the abdominal muscles. The combination of BBL and tummy tuck can help to contour the waistline, enhance the buttocks, and create a more balanced overall appearance.
In your case, I would suggest combining the tummy tuck and the BBL. If you do not want to combine the tummy tuck with the BBL, then stage the procedure by having abdominal liposuction and BBL performed first, then at a later date, undergo a tummy tuck.
However, it is important to note that combining these two procedures can increase the complexity and duration of the surgery, as well as the risk of complications. Recovery from this combined procedure may also be more prolonged and require more careful attention to the postoperative instructions.
It is crucial to discuss the potential risks and benefits of combining a BBL with a tummy tuck with your plastic surgeon, and they will help determine if you are a good candidate for the combination surgery based on your individual health status, anatomy, and aesthetic goals.

Thank you for your question and congratulations on the weight loss. Looking at the photos you have provided I would agree that you are a better candidate for a tummy tuck procedure. This will allow your Surgeon to tighten up the abdominal wall muscle, remove the extra skin and get you as flat as one can. It is a bigger surgery and requires some additional down time but it is a very safe procedure. I would suggest speaking with your Surgeon ahead of surgery to answer and of your questions and to help ease your concerns. Best of luck to you.
