Combo Procedure - Tummy Tuck with Fat Injections to Buttocks

Just because you can does not mean you should.  Think about it you are going to have 3 procedures (liposuction, tummy tuck, and fat transfer).  The liposuction in fat grafting is much more aggressive so that you can achieve some improvement in the waist but more importantly to get fat.  Aggressive liposuction in the face of tummy tuck can lead to wound healing problems with the tummy tuck incision. After surgery you have contrasting ways how you need to care for the tummy tuck and fat grafting to buttocks (i.e. you can't sit for grafting and lay flat on your belly for tummy tuck).  You can rest on your side if you had both but that is the only position that works.

I would do the lipo and fat transfer first and 6 months later perform your tummy tuck.

Have several consults with board certified plastic surgeons.

Its possible and safe to do both, and I like being able to get a lot of fat from the tummy skin we will discard.  But lying on your back the first week probably decreases the amount of fat you will eventually keep in the buttocks.  I advise my patients that a follow up grafting procedure may be needed. 

I feel I get the best results this way.
