Combining Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, and Butt Enhancement via Fat Transfer

A protruding belly can be a poor sight to see, especially on a person who is already physically fit or has exhausted his or her efforts in dieting and exercise. The problem of having excess abdominal skin and fat is prevalent among women who have had multiple pregnancies; many of these individuals count on plastic surgery to improve such a problem.

In addition to being a Miami tummy tuck and liposuction specialist, I am also an expert in butt enhancement surgery via fat transfer. I find that many of the women who are interested in flattening their bellies are also enticed with the idea of gaining shape elsewhere, such as in their buttocks. With my assistance and aesthetic eye for detail, I can provide women with their desired hourglass figure. To do so, I may combine these three procedures: tummy tuck surgery, liposuction, and butt enhancement. This is commonly known as a "Mommy Makeover" when performed together on a woman who is post-childbirth.

In this instance, I would start with the tummy tuck procedure as it addresses the quality of the skin and helps to reduce the amount of overhanging and sagging in the abdominal region. The incision locations are based upon the patient's anatomy and fashion. The shape of the patient's body and how she wears her clothes and undergarments are decisive factors that I take into consideration before determining the best incision location. Because everyone is different, this will vary from one individual to another.

While a tummy tuck improves the skin and addresses the underlying abdominal muscles by tightening or "plicating" the separation of the muscles, liposuction will address the fat by removing the excess tissue as necessary. Liposuction can be used on the waist as well as the lower back.

Through my "Highlight Liposcupting and Lipo Fat Transfer" 3D approach, I can use the fat that is removed with liposuction, harvest it, and then inject into the buttock region for enhancement. The ease of combining these procedures - liposuction and butt enhancement - allows me to create beautiful, natural-looking results with the patient's own fat.

So for an overall improved contour, I may combine all three procedures. The steps include:

1. Removing excess skin and tightening the inner abdominal muscles (tummy tuck)
2. Suctioning the targeted fat tissue from the surrounding areas (liposuction)
3. Injecting the harvested fat into the buttock region for a greater volume (butt enhancement)

Fat is becoming extraordinary helpful in contouring the body, and my 3-D approach allows me to sculpt the patient's body into a flattering, new shape.
