How many times can I get a Brazilian Tummy Tuck?

Most people only require one Brazilian tummy tuck to achieve their desired results. However, in some cases, a second surgery may be necessary. This is typically only the case if you have significant weight loss or gain after your first surgery. Your surgeon will discuss this with you in detail during your consultation.

What is the difference between a Brazilian Tummy Tuck and a traditional Tummy Tuck?

The main difference between a Brazilian tummy tuck and a traditional tummy tuck is the extent of the surgery. Brazilian tummy tucks are more extensive, as they involve the removal of excess skin and fat from not only the lower abdomen, but also the sides and back. This results in a more comprehensive transformation than a traditional tummy tuck.
