BBL with tummy tuck or without? Which allows for better healing?

HI, I know alot of surgeons do a tt same time as bbl, but if you have the time to recover, isn't it logistically safer and better to do them separate to allow for better healing. When sitting on bbl pillow, aren't you putting pressure on lower thighs and cutting off some circulation to buttock?

AlloClae is an exciting new option, but I don't think of it as a replacement for a traditional BBL. I think of it as another tool that allows us to customize the result. In patients who don't have enough fat for a traditional BBL, or in those looking for a more subtle enhancement, AlloClae can...
