  • Tummy tuck is usually performed at the end of operation
  • While doing the tummy tuck procedure directly after the Brazilian butt lift there may be some flattening and loss of projection of the buttocks
  • Doing them separately allows for a more predictable result
  • Recovery is more difficult when Tummy tuck and Brazillian butt lift are combined.
  • Patients should try sleep on their stomachs for the first month after having the Brazilian butt lift- this is not possible if you just had an abdominoplasty. Patients can only sleep on their sides and this makes for a very uncomfortable recovery. Also, the post-surgery discomfort is far greater.
