Can I Have a Tummy Tuck and Buttocks Fat Transfer at the Same Time? How is the Recovery? (photo)

In my practice it is common for me to perform all of the procedures you mentioned at the same time. However, I use an assistant to save total operative time with the goal less than 6 hours of surgery (often far less than that) to minimize potential complications and for a speedier recovery. Sometimes there are even less scarring as for straight augmentations, I place the implants using the TT incision without the need for breast scars.The benefit is only one surgery, only one recovery (you heal from all procedures simultaneously) and that you can use the fat that would normally be discarded from the tummy tuck.My patients following a TT with or without a BBL stay in a reclining chair the first week. A flat tempurpedic pillow beneath your back and upper thighs will offload pressure on your buttocks. Pros and cons of this decision should be part of your in depth consultation with your plastic surgeon including the increased risk of complications with long surgeries and how to prevent them. Your plastic surgeon will guide you into making the best decision in your individual case. The most important decision is picking the best plastic surgeon experienced in this technique. See link regarding finding the best surgeon for combined surgeries.#BBL&TTOneTime

You are a perfect candidate for a tummy tuck. A Brazilian butt lift can certainly be done at the same time, but I advise against the BBL altogether. It is a lame procedure and a waste of money.

Thank you for the question and photos. Yes, these procedures are done together. I use the VASER technique which allows me to collect fat without much trauma to the tissues. I liposuction the abdomen, back, hips, waist and often the arms to collect the fat for the BBL. By subtracting fat from these areas, you already will have a more slim and athletic body. Most of the fat injected into the buttocks is in the muscle. You can lie on your back, will not kill the fat. The pain from this procedure is mainly in the abdomen due to the muscle repair or tightening. Besides pain medication, we provide our patients with other medications which in combination will give you more pain relief and faster recovery. See a board certified plastic surgeon who is well versed in these procedures. Good luck.
