Answer: Tummy tuck before or after BBL? Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for 360 liposuction and BBL which will help create a beautiful hourglass shape for you. It can be combined with breast surgery at the same time. It does't appear that you have enough excess skin for a full tummy tuck, however, it's difficult to tell based only on the photos. I would recommend to obtain an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options and expectations. I hope this helps.

Answer: Need tummy tuck, things to consider when determining order Based on your photographs, you have excess skin, mainly of the lower abdomen, with stretch marks. The amount of excess skin you have will not go away with J-Plasma. You would need a tummy tuck or extended tummy tuck to remove the extra skin. You would not need an incision that goes all the way around. In terms of how to best address your tummy, breasts and buttocks, there is no right answer. Each surgeon has their preferences on how many procedures can safely be performed at one time and how to pair them to optimize your aesthetic results. There are pros and cons when considering the order of tummy tuck and BBL. Liposuction for BBL may create loose skin, if the skin does not contract afterwards. So, if the tummy tuck is performed before the BBL, your tummy may not be as tight and smooth. If the tummy tuck is performed after the BBL, the excess skin and fat of the lower tummy is thrown away. The fat could have been used to add to your BBL. I would recommend consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to come up with the best plan for you.
