A combination of abdominoplasty (commonly known as a tummy tuck) and Brazilian butt lift (BBL) aims to reshape the midsection and buttocks. Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, while tightening the underlying muscles. A BBL enhances buttock projection and shape through fat grafting, using fat harvested from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. The combined procedures offer patients a more comprehensive body contouring solution. These procedures, when performed together, can create a more balanced and harmonious physique.
The desire for body contouring has evolved throughout history, reflecting changing aesthetic ideals and advancements in surgical techniques. Modern procedures offer individuals greater control over their body shape, addressing concerns related to post-pregnancy changes, significant weight loss, or simply the desire for improved body proportions. Combining these procedures can streamline recovery, potentially minimizing overall downtime compared to undergoing each procedure separately. These combined procedures can lead to improved body image and self-confidence, contributing positively to overall well-being.
