I am 34 with 1 child and was originally looking into a BBL but now I also want a tummy tuck. Has anyone had both procedures at once? I would like to hear about the recovery. I have only met with one surgeon so far Dr Michael Gartner but I have a consultation with Dr Joseph Alkon in 2 weeks. I know that Dr Alkan has performed these 2 procedures together but I wanted to hear from actual patients.

Getting Ready to Set a Date

MytimeNJ
I met with Dr. Alkon and felt very comfortable with him. He was very informative and I liked that he did not seem to try and sell me on more procedures. In fact he made me feel like I was being a little harsh on myself and did not really need to do all that I wanted. With that said I of course want to have the TT and BBL that I went to him for. I will be calling to schedule my date sometime soon. I am just trying to figure out what month will work out best for me. I would like to have this done soon. I am a little nervous about the best ways to sleep/rest being that I am having both procedures at one time. If anyone can tell me useful tips I would really appreciate it. I do not want to compromise my results. I am not sure if using wedge pillows in my bed is best to elevate myself or if I should get a recliner chair and cut a hole. I have read that some do that. Any feedback would be great! Also, what is best for scar treatment?

Finally Set a Date!

After what feels like so long I finally scheduled my surgery. It will be on July 19th and I am very happy. I was hoping to have it sooner but Dr. Alkon is so scheduled I had to wait until July. I know it will be here in no time and I am beyond excited. I do plan to post some before pictures soon. I will be having a Tummy Tuck, Lipo, & Brazilian Butt Lift. I'm sure the closer the date comes the more anxious I will get, but reading all of Dr. Alkon's reviews and seeing all of the photos that are posted calm me down :)
