I am currently 170lbs, height 5'6 and still am working out until I can reach 150. Please let me know if I would be a good candidate to have BBL done first and then tummy tuck 6 months later. Would it be safe? My life matters, just want to go the safe route. Also would like to receive good results. I have some excessive skin.
Answer: Would be safe for me to get BBL done first (before a tummy tuck) now that I've lost more weight? Thank you for your question and photos. Your BMI is 27.4, I would not suggest further weight loss prior to your surgery. If you were my patient, I would do a two staged operation: VASER lipo 360 degrees (abdomen, pubic area, back, waist, hips, anterior and lateral chest wall and thighs) with a BBL. Second stage would be a tummy tuck and contouring your arms. Although most surgeons will offer an one stage operation, for best results and shorter abdominoplasty scar a two staged procedure will give you the best body contouring results.See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.See the attached web reference.

Answer: Liposuction or Tummy Tuck Hello! Thank you for your question and pictures. In your case I recommend getting a combination of Liposuction, BBL and Tummy Tuck. When a Liposuction is performed, most of fat under skin is removed, but all skin remains. If your skin were still elastic enough, it would stick back smoothly. When a Tummy Tuck is performed, you'll get liposuction too. Main difference is your extra skin will be removed, muscles will be repaired and you'll get a smaller waist and flatter abs.The "con" is the scar and that it is more expensive. But again, it depends on how you want to look.

Answer: Would be safe for me to get BBL done first (before a tummy tuck) now that I've lost more weight? Based on your photos, I don't think that you have to lose more weight. I also think that the procedures can be combined into one procedure. However, if you prefer two procedures, that would be fine as well. Good luck!

Answer: Would be safe for me to get BBL done first (before a tummy tuck) now that I've lost more weight? Thank you for your question. You can get great results combining these procedures. A Tummy tuck will flatten the abdomen and get rid of excess fat and skin in that area. Liposuction and BBl will help you achieve a nicer figure with the hour glass shape.That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Answer: BBL and Tummy TUck It's perfectly acceptable to perform an abdominoplasty, BBL with liposuction of the areas you describe in a single surgery. Many surgeons perform this combination of procedures routinely and have fine-tuned the procedure so it is done efficiently and well under the amount of time where the risk might increase even a small amount. In my practice I would leave it up to you whether you like the idea of having it done at the same time or doing it over the course of two procedures. In my experience, there would be no significant difference in the outcome. Good luck.
