First, it must be understood that combining different surgeries or procedures in a single intervention is not always feasible. Determining whether or not a patient is a candidate to combine these procedures should be through appropriate medical studies to ensure the patient’s health.

If we think about this, we must also say that combining procedures is economically more profitable (the costs of the operating room or hospitalization are covered at one time) and physiologically more bearable (if we do not want to do atrocities), because we only went through a postoperative period and Not for several. Thus, surgery for example of a tummy tuck and a simultaneous liposculpture-lipotransference will produce a much better result than just doing a tummy tuck and will not really prolong the recovery time significantly (we will go from 15 days to 20).

Combining surgeries, apart from assuming that the use of a single anesthetic for several procedures could reduce the operating cost of plastic surgery, but it is also very important that the patient is in very good physical condition.

The combination of different plastic surgeries should only be viable, if it does not increase the surgical risk.

How to know whether or not you are a candidate for combined surgeries? This is determined in a medical consultation by doing the necessary studies.

Remember that you can request your consultation online to know the budget.

Reiterating the beginning of our post, during the pre-surgical consultation your plastic surgeon will tell you what is best according to your reality and needs, whether they are independent or combined interventions.

In short, is it worthwhile to combine surgeries? Yes, if it is worth it, when who makes them is an honest, competent and qualified professional, who always looks after your health first and your well-being.

First, you have to be clear about what constitutes a buttock lipoinjection, also known by the marketing term “BBL”, which means Brazilian Butt Lift. Which makes reference to the “Brazilian Back” as a model to follow in this trend. You’ll find other terms for buttock lipoinjection depending on the region or market, but the technique of the procedure is the same.

Lipoinjection consists of the grafting of fat from the same patient. This technique is applicable for almost everyone. But there are specific indications and it is possible that in patients with excessive flaccidity in the skin of the buttocks the best result is not obtained.

Always take into account the patient’s expectations and explain what can be obtained in your particular case.

Although we achieve amazing results, plastic surgery is not magic.

The procedure by lipoinjection includes liposculpture to obtain the fat and modeling of the upper, lower and lateral zone to the buttocks. The surgery usually lasts 1 or 2 hours.

The fat extracted from the patient goes through a preparation that allows to purify it. This eliminates the hematic content and the anesthetic fluid.

Through deep injections it is applied in the places that the surgeon has strategically marked to obtain the expected results.

On average, around 250cc of fat is injected into each gluteus, but that is what each case defines.

Local or general anesthesia is used depending on the conditions of each patient. The recovery process, like most aesthetic procedures, lasts 10 to 15 days. After this period, patients can carry out their routine activities, leaving for after a month to do exercises, beach or sunbathing.

We insist that good results are not always huge buttocks and hips, but rather a harmonious shape and projection that is proportional to the body of each woman. The size of the breasts, the width of the shoulders, the waist and the thighs are taken into account.

At all times we ensure the safety of our patients, not only before or during surgery, but in the recovery period, which guarantees the safety and confidence that each patient places in our team.
