I am interested in receiving a BBL with aggressive lipo to my hip dips/live handles. My BMI is 33. I was told I would need an extended tummy tuck first then the BBL using back fat lyrics. Is this accurate? Why do you think?

Answer: Liposuction & BBL or Tummy Tuck first? Thank you for sharing your pictures. There are different ways to go about it. If done in two procedures I would suggest doing the liposuction & BBL first. You will remove the excess fat, and shape your buttocks. There will be additional excess skin from the liposuction that can be removed with the tummy tuck afterward. I would suggest consulting with your surgeon to determine what is best for you and your goals.

Answer: Hi! Agree with TT first Hi! Your question is a very common one I get from my patients. And the answer has to do with the amount of excess skin and the skin quality. From the picture, I can see a skin fold and stretch marks, those two things tell me about the amount of excess skin which will be best to excise with a tummy tuck and the stretch marks tell me about the skin quality. The skin quality determines how much your skin will retract after liposuction. I recommend starting with the tummy tuck and 3-4 months later get the BBL. In my experience, this will give you the best results :) Hope this helped and good luck!

Answer: Interested in a BBL with liposuction. Will I need a tummy tuck first? Hello @Kind380735, thank you for your question. As part of your surgical plan I suggest you take into account to have a tummy tuck and liposculture. Each procedure serves a different purpose, a tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and strengthens the abdominal muscles, in which there is abdominal lipolysis, abdominal diastasis repair, skin removal with umbilical reconstruction depending on each case. On the other hand liposculture we take out fat from all parts of the body to make it more harmonious. The two procedures combine will give you the best results and the flat stomach that you desire. Is important that you consult consult with several board certified plastic surgeon. If you are considering surgery, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
