BBL after a Tummy Tuck 10 years ago.

Question

I had a tummy tuck over ten years ago and now considering a BBL. I'm worried about the fat transfer, will it be enough or has the stomach already been compromised?

Luis Macias, MD, FACS · Answer

It is possible to perform a BBL after a tummy tuck.  It is difficult to know if you are a candidate without photos.   The best way to know if you are a candidate for the procedure is to see a plastic surgeon who specializes in gluteal shaping for an in person consultation. Best wishes.

William Bruno, MD · Answer

Yes it is possible to do a BBL after a tummy tuck provided you have enough fat. Consult with a few plastic surgeons in your area who are experienced with this procedure and you will have a better idea if you are a good candidate. Watch this brief video for more information.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Without the benefit of photos it's impossible to give you an accurate assessment. The mere fact that you had a previous tummy tuck does not preclude a fat transfer. There are multiple areas that can be utilized to obtain donor fat.......hips, flanks, abdomen, thighs, upper arms. The key is............ does the surgeon have a keen sense of aesthetics? Can he/she create a shapely, attractive buttock or are they just technicians that wind up with large unshapely behinds? The same holds true for the liposuction portion of the procedure. Understand that liposuction whether SAL, PAL or UAL ( not including LAL because the fat obtained through this technique will not be useful) is not that technically challenging. However, the keen aesthetic eye will determine the eventual work of art.We are creators and have the ability to turn out beautiful works of art. Simply put................not all artists create quality work.Always seek out the opinion of a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with years of experience in liposuction and fat transfers. Furthermore request to see before and after photos of previous patients by that doctor....not a clinic or surgery center. Do your homework......research and verify the doctor's credentials. Good luck, Dr. PG

You may be a very good candidate, but I would have to see pictures or examine you to make a determination.  I would search for the surgeon who you feel is most likely to give you
the best results. Look at reviews and before and after pictures on that
surgeon's website. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

It is impossible to give you an opinion without any photos. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer. 
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less. 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 :)

Thank you for your question . Please put your front, side pictures. These pictures are easier to see if they are taking by someone else not close to the camera of the area you are interested only to give you a better answer.Many surgeons offer online virtual consultations where you send your photos and medical history information so that you can receive accurate cost at no cost to you. Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian Butt Lifts and has privileges to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This says his credentials have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry risk, talk to your plastic surgeon and choose one wisely.

Hi Roxy,It's definitely possible to have a Brazillian Butt Lift after tummy tuck.  But I would probably harvest fat from other areas of your body as well like the hips, flanks and possibly the back to make sure we have enough fat to transfer.  I would of course have to see you in person to help assess your individual anatomy and come up with a customized plan.  Successful fat transfer with minimal complications, and longevity and minimal absorption is very technical (if you come in to see me I'll explain in more detail!) so make sure you ask these things and go o an experienced board certified plastic surgeon!

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Without seeing you in person it is impossible to tell you whether it is possible or not to harvest fat from your abdomen and whether or not it will make the skin looser.
