Brazilian Butt Lift
Brazilian Butt Lift and Tummy Tuck Advice
Thanks for the question - You're balancing two issues. Abdominoplasty (tummy tucks) get the best results when people are as close to ideal body weight as possible. Brazilian butt lift candidates are also within their ideal body weight but not too thin. In our practice in Dublin, California we typically use 300-600 cc of fat per buttock cheek. Most people with a BMI of 24 - 26 have plenty of fat available from their abdomen, thighs and flanks. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience with this technique. I hope this helps.
Clinical Context
After a BBL, some of the fat you transfer will survive long-term and some won't - this is normal and expected. Early swelling can make results look fuller than they'll end up, so final volume isn't clear for several months. Surgeons commonly advise limiting direct pressure on the buttocks for a few weeks so the transferred fat can establish blood supply. A tummy tuck heals on its own separate timeline, with the abdomen continuing to settle for months. Combining both surgeries means recovering from two different processes at once.
