Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Surgery
How Do You Sleep With A Tummy Tuck & BBL?
Patients usually feel most comfortable sleeping on their sides. However, understandable, this can become uncomfortable quickly. There are specialized pillows or even beds that allow patients who underwent a Brazilian butt lift lay on their backs. These are different from the standard BBL patients use.
At a certain point during healing, patients can lay on their stomach. Using pillows can also make laying and sleeping on their side easier and more comfortable.
Are There Increased Risks During Tummy Tuck With BBL?
Not when compared with undergoing both surgeries separately. Instead of going under general anesthesia twice (which involves twice the risk), the risks of each individual procedure are about the same. The only risk that increases is the length of the surgical session. Some patients may not be suitable patients for a procedure that lasts several hours. Dr. Goldschmidt will determine this during a personal consultation.
How Long Does It Take To Recover From A Combined Tummy Tuck & BBL?
Recovery following a tummy tuck with BBL in Cleveland involves around a two to three-week recovery. This is similar to either of the procedures individually. Patients usually return to work after two to three weeks. Though, there will be ongoing recovery instructions to follow for about eight weeks following surgery.
Dr. Goldschmidt will provide personalized recovery directions based on the specifics of the patient’s procedure. These post-operative instructions may include:
- Avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for about six to eight weeks (using a BBL pillow is okay)
- Wear compression garments
- Remain hunched over to prevent stress on the tummy tuck incision
- Do not partake in strenuous activity or exercise
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing
- Attend post-operative appointments
- Take pain medications only as needed
- Stay hydrated and eat well
Who Is A Good Candidate For A Brazilian Butt Lift With Tummy Tuck In Cleveland?
Good candidates for the procedure are in generally good health and fully understand the scope of the procedure. They will have extra abdominal skin and enough extra fat to transfer to the buttocks. Any significant medical conditions are being adequately treated. Any patient undergoing an abdominoplasty should not smoke.
Adults of any age may qualify for a Cleveland tummy tuck with a Brazilian butt lift. Dr. Goldschmidt will fully evaluate each patient based on their medical history, overall health, goals, and starting anatomy.
What Is The Cost Of A Tummy Tuck With BBL In Cleveland?
The exact cost of a tummy tuck with BBL in Cleveland will fluctuate based on the type of tummy tuck the patient undergoes, the number of areas treated with liposuction, and the length of the surgical session, among other factors. After a consultation, patients receive a personalized price quote.
