Hi. I'm 5'7 and roughly about 170.. I'm over my BMI a tad. I know I'm going to need a tummy tuck but I want lipo on my stomach first. I have love handles. I want a vixen butt. Would it possible to achieve 1500 ccs on each cheek looking at my stomach, back or even 360 lipo?

Answer: Choosing the correct procedure Based on your pictures it looks like visceral fat is a significant issue and this should probably be dealt with before considering any surgical procedure. To reduce your visceral fat you’ll need to lose weight and you’re better off losing the weight first because A lower BMI should be your baseline or you’ll have a bulging abdomen. Patients are always better off losing weight prior to having cosmetic surgery. different plastic surgeons have different opinions whether a tummy tuck should be performed first for the BBL done first. There are advantages and disadvantages for both and some plastic surgeons prefer to do them as combined procedures. Regardless weight loss needs to be part of the equation and its best done first. I suggest having multiple in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons who have experience with both procedures. Best, Mats Hagstrom
