Thank your for your question. A tummy tuck can address the skin and muscle laxity of the abdominal region as well as reducing the excess fatty tissue. A brazilian butt lift helps to shape the buttock by borrowing fat from one part (or several) and transferring this fat to another. They are both extremely rewarding procedures. The best approach for a patient who wants to have both procedures is to stage them and possibly start with the BBL. Here is why:1) A brazilian butt lift is transferring fat from one area to the buttock. One common donor area is the tummy. Once the fat is transferred, you need to keep pressure off the buttock as this allows new blood supply to develop to the newly grafted fat cells. Any stress such as pressure can reduce the efficacy of this process and hence you may lose some fat. Hence, no sitting or laying on your bottom for ~2 weeks.2) A tummy tuck is removing excess skin and tightening the muscle as well as remove extra fat. To make the skin removal efficient and protect the incision, you surgeon will often remove skin while your hips are flexed. You will need to maintain this position after surgery for about a week. This will required you to sleep in a recliner position for a good week. In addition, l often combine liposuction of the abdomen and flanks as part of this procedure and once this fat is removed, it cannot be stored for the brazilian buttock lift in the future.Since the recovery process for these two popular procedures compete, I would recommend staging them. If you are surgeon is needing as much donor areas to recruit as much fat as possible, then I would start with the brazilian buttock lift so you can use the abdominal and flank regions as donor areas. I would also recommend that you do your breast reduction with your tummy tuck if your surgeon feels it is safe to both at the same time as the recovery of these two procedures are more aligned.
that is a lot of surgery on the body! Recovery is challenging as positioning after abdominal and buttock surgery can be contradictory.More important is the time of the entire procedure. I humbly disagree with statements made by others here, it is clearly demonstrated that complications increase after the 6 hour threshold is reached! Such combinations certainly exceed this and you are at risk of such complications.It is definitely safer to stage these: reduction/abdomen first, makes more sense.
I agree with my colleagues that this is just too much surgery for one operation. You want to get good results and have it done safely. Even though most of us can do all of this surgery in a reasonable time, even the best of us can get fatigued and it is best to split it up into 2 surgeries.
Hello i do not recommend all the procedure done all at one time my suggestion would be start with a the BBL fist to give you that hour glass shape and Then you can have your Breast Augmentation and TT at the same time. Best wishes
That is probably too much even if the surgeon is a master of all three. I could perform all of those procedures in 6 hours, but I would not feel comfortable recommending all of those at one time. I perform about 500 Brazilian buttlifts each year, and this procedure is the most surgeon dependent plastic surgery procedure. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
Hello dear!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.I recommend my patients to do these procedures in two sessions, due to recovery and the time under anesthesia. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.Good luck :)
The best combination for best results is Tummytuck, fulll back ,waist liposuction and BBL.You should get a glass hour fiigure. I think adding breast should be more risky, i would leave breast for next time.
The breast reduction and BBL can probably be done at the same time, but I usually stage the tummy tuck so that it does not risk problems with wound healing.
I frequently combine these three procedures in one operation. The key is how much blood loss there is, not the amount of time the procedure takes. By combining the procedures, you only have to undergo one anesthesia and pay for one operating room fee. You will only have to undergo one recovery and will have your desired result with no extra down time.
Thank you for your question.In my opinion any blood cleanser or thinner has to definitely be suspended 4 weeks before any surgical procedure to prevent any excess bleeding during and after surgery.Speak to your Doctor and Anesthesiologist in order to follow their preop instructions.
I would wait at least 6-8 weeks from your appendectomy to proceed with any elective surgery. best wishes.
Thanks for your question.You should always consult with your plastic surgeon, but I recommend that my patients avoid the pool or ocean for the first 3 to 4 weeks.Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama M.D., Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
