I will be getting a mommy makeover December. I just decided that I want a BBL as well (why not?). Should I wait so that both sides of my body aren't healing at the same time? Or can it be done all at once? Thanks in advance for all of your advice. I'd like to see some of your work!!
Answer: Mommy makeover and BBL Thank you for your question, and it is a good one. I would strongly urge caution for doing too many procedures at once. The 'why not' in your question has everything to do with safety. I would suggest you have your mommy makeover, whatever that entails for you, then analyze your results and save the BBL for a different date. You may find that you're just fine without it. Good luck!

Answer: Mommy Makeover and BBL Hi, thanks for your question. I definitely recommend having your BBL done once you recover from your Mommy Makeover surgery. The Mommy Makeover is already a pretty involved surgery that will take several hours and will have an extensive recovery period. If you add the BBL the recovery will be very difficult as you'll have to stay off your bum for at least two weeks, meaning you won't be able to lie flat on your back, and with the tummy tuck you won't be able to lie on your stomach, making rest and recovery overall very tough. Typically, it's preferable to keep combined surgeries to one side of your body for these reasons even though it is surgically possible to add the BBL to a mommy makeover. I highly recommend you speak to your surgeon about this or any other concerns that you might have about you upcoming surgery.

Answer: Mommy Makeover and BBl. Should I get both at one time or wait? HI Qui87, If you are in good health, there should be no problem if you have both procedures at the same time. Also other factors to consider is how much tissue needs to be removed from your abdomen and the length of the surgery which might include liposuction of some areas. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a complete evaluation of your medical history, body and goals. Good Luck! Dr. Christine Rodgers

Answer: Combining procedures Combining procedures is commonly done and considered safe, but there is a limit. With the procedures you are considering it may be advisable to have them done in two stages. The first stage would be the BBL and the second would include the tummy tuck and breast work. With this approach you will be more comfortable as you recover from each stage. Ultimately your surgeon will be the one to best advise you after an examination and discussion of your surgical goals.

Answer: Mommy Makeover and BBL in one procedure Hi, thanks for your question. In theory you can have a Mommy Makeover and BBL in one procedure, but we tend not combine these two procedures as the recovery would be extremely difficult. With a BBL we ask that you don't sit on your bum or lie flat on your back for at least two weeks following your surgery, so if you had a Mommy Makeover to recover from at the same time this would almost be impossible. The Mommy Makeover is also an extensive surgery that takes several hours and adding another procedure to it could be quite risky. I recommend that you book an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in order to discuss all of your options and to assess whether these surgeries are the right procedures for you and for the results that you are trying to achieve.
