Hi, What is your opinion on getting a brazilian butt lift, a full tummy tuck and breast aug at the same time. My doctor says it will be done outpatient? i thought that to be a little drastic?

Answer: Multiple cosmetic surgery procedures
A tummy tuck can be safely combined with the brazilian butt lift to give a great result. However, combining the butt lift with breast aug is usually not advisable. The breast augmentation, with or without a lift, would have to be done in a second operative session a few months later.
The reason is that during the recovery period for the brazilian butt lift, you'll be spending a lot of time on your stomach and chest which can cause problems with healing or displacing the implants. The tummy tuck easily tolerates this position whereas the breast augmentation does not.
Be sure to discuss your options with a board certified plastic surgeon who has extesnive experience with multiple procedures.

Answer: Patient safety with extended surgical procedures
Surgeons that do fat grafting to the buttock and tummy tucks in tandem are pretty good at making this a fast combination surgery. Personally, I don't do these two procedures in tandem because I don't like fat grafting patients to sit/lie on the buttocks after fat grafting - which is exactly what a lot of tummy tuck patients do post-op. The addition of a breast procedure is pretty common as well. If your surgeon keeps the operative time to less than 6 hours, I think the combination is reasonable. Make sure your surgeon is a member of the ASPS and is board certified in plastic surgery.
