I am very confused as to why some doctors do a tummy tuck and BBL together and some do not. Is it medically not safe? I would really prefer to do it together as I save time off work and go through the pain once. I'm planning on travelling to Miami and I am still under the process of researching doctors. Your insight would be greatly appreciated.

Answer: TT and BBL together You can certainly do a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and in fact harvest fat from the tummy including the extra part that would be discarded and use if for the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). Typically after a tummy tuck/BBL combination we have our patients sleep in a reclining chair for most of the first week. If you don't have one you can borrow or rent one rather than a surgical bed. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon.You heal simultaneously from both. Pain is very manageable especially with Exparel injections which numbs the surgical area for 3-4 days and is injected at the time of surgery. Our patients usually do great with this combination.

Answer: Is it safe to do a tummy tuck and BBL together? Plastic surgeons are divided about doing simultaneous TT and BBL. The concern is that addtional pressure on the buttocks may affect the take of the fat transfer. In my center we often perform the TT and BBL together and have not found a deleterious effect on the buttocks. We do suggest certain precautions. Patients often request these procedures to be done together so as to avoid 2 operations and 2 recuperations.,
