What are the steps in getting a BBL and what things should be considered? (photos)

Question

I am 21 year old with 1 child. I want a tummy tuck and BBL but realize that I am sill very young and may have more kids in the future so I’ve opted for just the BBL with the hope of using the fat from my stomach and inner thighs (if we have too). My concern is that pregnancy will undo the surgery and thousands of dollars would have been waisted. Any suggestions. I am in the research phase. I want to know how to look for docs/prices/materials that would be needed .

Changes following pregnancy are more likely to affect the results of an abdominoplasty rather than a BBL. 
The only thing you really need to be aware of is that you do have some excess skin at this point so liposuction may worsen the appearance of that skin although on the bright side you are young and your skin will tighten and re-drape better than someone of an older age. So you might be able to undergo liposuction and have a similar appearance in terms of skin laxity as you do now, but achieve a much better shape, narrower waist, flatter abdomen, prettier gluteal shape and larger buttock volume with a BBL.
Then later after you are done having children get a tummy tuck to deal with the excess skin.
You just need to understand how you may look and way the options of trading your current skin laxity and shape versus potentially more skin laxity (although it may stay the same) and a prettier shape.
During a live consultation  Your plastic surgeon may be able to offer you a little bit more definitive advice in a better estimation of how your skin may redrape.

Liposuction will only make your abdomen to look worst. And you are so young that you suppose to be looking astonishing at this age. I have had several patients who have become pregnant after the Tummy Tuck (one soon as one month postop!!) The KEY to prevent ruining the results of the Tummy Tuck is maintenance of the weight during the pregnancy. My patients who have followed my weight control advice during and after pregnancy, now they look like NEVER WERE PREGNANT !!Be encouraged. It is totally our decision to gain 20,30, 50 pounds during or after pregnancies. Dr. Cárdenas.

Hello
I recommend you  do a full tummy tuck combined with a full body 
contouring and BBL. I would suggest liposuction on your back and flanks 
as well if you want. You have choices, but definitely you must be 
evaluated first to accomplish what you wished. Consult with a certified 
plastic surgeon.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Based on your pictures it would have been better for you liposuction 
with a full tummy tuck with BBL. This combination has become very 
common. It is safe to combine both procedures. 
 I suggest to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best options for your goals. 
Good luck :)

Thank you for your question.Cost varies by Location, Anesthesia, Surgeon, Etc. Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian Butt Lifts and has privileges to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This says his credentials have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry risk, talk to your plastic surgeon.A Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective procedure that combines liposuction of the abdomen hips waist and back and then fat grafting to the gluteal region. This is a safe and effective way to contour the lower body. After a successful Brazilian Butt lift, the fat that remains will stay there for the rest of your life. Like the rest of the tissue in your body this fat will grow and age with you.
