Why some combination procedures are not recommended

Posted by Aesthetic Surgical Images

Everyone today wants to combine as many surgeries together as they can to achieve their aesthetic goals, save money, and have only one recovery. We as surgeons are happy to combine procedures as long as it can be done safely and if doing one part of the surgery does not worsen the results of another part. One combination that causes problems when trying to do almost anything with it would be the Brazilian butt lift. The main reason is that for the Brazilian butt lift you have to avoid pressure on the areas we transfer fat into. Patients are instructed to sleep on their abdomen and not on their back or sides. The pressure of your own weight on the fat can cause it not to take (to grow in) or to die. If the transferred fat cells die, you do not get your enhancement.

Timing is everything when designing the schedule for your surgeries.

Procedures like breast augmentations and tummy tucks require you to sleep on your back to avoid pressure on the implants and the tummy stitches. If you would sleep on your tummy after these procedures you could push the implants out of position or pop stitches and result in healing problems or bad scars. It would be a waste of time and money to do these together and risk ruining your final result. When considering a Brazilian butt lift and mommy makeover, I would recommend starting with the Brazilian butt lift (so we can use all of the fat on your tummy) to enhance your back side, and then when we go ahead later with the tummy tuck or the mommy makeover where we can remove the extra skin. Timing is everything when designing the schedule for your surgeries. I would recommend starting with a visit to a board-certified plastic surgeon so you can start planning the safest and most efficient way to reach your body contouring goals!
