How Long Does It Take for a Tummy Tuck and Brazilian Butt Lift?
Every woman should feel confident with her curves. But due to genetics, lifestyle issues, and past pregnancies, you might feel dissatisfied with yours.
Body contouring has revolutionized the way we think about self-care and aesthetic transformations. It’s more than just a cosmetic procedure—it’s a path to enhanced confidence and self-expression.
Every woman should feel confident with her curves. But due to genetics, lifestyle issues, and past pregnancies, you might feel dissatisfied with yours. Getting a tummy tuck and a Brazilian butt lift may be an option for you. In some cases, it may be possible to combine these two surgeries into one procedure to streamline the process and the recovery period. Talk to a board-certified plastic surgeon to get the answers to your questions, like how long you can expect a tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift to take.
It’s important to bear in mind that, while some patients may be able to get both surgeries done at once, this option may not be appropriate for everyone. Dr. Loeb will consider your overall health before making this determination.
How long does the surgery take?
The length of the surgery often depends on many different factors. You’ll need to arrive at the clinic ahead of your operative time since you’ll need to be put under general anesthesia. Once you’re asleep, it will generally take one to several hours to perform the tummy tuck. The plastic surgeon will make small incisions, through which he will remove excess fat and skin, and retighten the underlying abdominal muscles.
The Brazilian butt lift portion of the surgery can take oneto several more hours. The surgeon will use the fat harvested from theabdominal region. The fat will be processed and transferred to syringes. Aftermaking small incisions in the buttocks, the surgeon will inject the fat intokey areas in the buttocks. Then, the incisions will be closed.
How long does therecovery take?
One of the benefits of having a tummy tuck and Brazilianbutt lift combined is that you’ll only have to go through the recovery periodonce. However, combining the two surgeries may make for a more difficultrecovery. Temporarily, you’ll be unable to sleep on your stomach after a tummytuck, and you’ll be unable to sit on your buttocks after a butt lift. Yourplastic surgeon can give you some guidance on modifying your sleeping andsitting positions.
While every patient heals a little differently, you shouldplan to wait at least 10 to 14 days before resuming light activities, like anoffice job. Plan to abstain from exercise for a solid two months. By the timeyour plastic surgeon clears you to begin exercising again, you’ll be ready toshow off your new curves!
