Is it possible to get a tummy tuck, lipo and fat transfer to the buttocks at the same time?

Question

I'm getting a tummy tuck and lipo. I wanted to add the fat transfer to buttocks reading reviews states we shouldn't sit but what position if there is any will I be able to be in if all this is done ? Wouldn't want my butt to go flat or complications..

I perform combination procedures like that every week, and there are ways to manage the recovery process.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

What really determines if all of these procedures can be done at the same time is safety.  If you are otherwise healthy and medically cleared for surgery then it is up to your surgeon to next determine if s/he can get the procedure done in an otherwise safe fashion.  Glad to help.

Using variety of post operative position instructions, and specialized foams, I am doing more of these two procedures combined. Not every one is a candidate but when done correctly it has proven to be successful. As I am going to remove the lower abdomen, I harvest a lot of fat from it. Then, I remove more fat from the flanks and inject into the buttocks. At this point the patient's buttocks are well protected and the final stage of the procedure, the tummy tuck, is performed. To this date I have not seen issues with fat loss when these combinations are done together and proper precautions are taken. Of course, there is nothing wrong with staging these and doing them in separate sittings. Good Luck.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
It is safe to combine these procedures, if your health and lab tests results allows it. I suggest to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, to discuss the best options for your goals.
Good luck :)

This combination is a smart idea for the patient who has excess skin and fat of the abdomen and wishes to have an improved rounded buttock contour. The abdominoplasty fat will be wasted if not "recycle" to the buttock, and thus this is the right time to consider this option.The combination has become more and more popular as fat transfer techniques have improved.
