Lipo 360, BBL, BBL 360 — the names get mixed up. In short, Lipo 360 slims the waist and a BBL uses that same fat to add volume to the buttocks. This guide explains it step by step.
What is Lipo 360?
Circumferential liposuction of the trunk: tummy, waist, flanks and back in one operation. It is not a weight-loss procedure; it defines the waist and the outline from every angle.
What is a BBL?
A Brazilian Butt Lift is buttock augmentation with your own fat, without implants. The fat is purified and injected; for safety it is placed only in the tissue under the skin and the amount is limited by the surgeon.
Lipo 360 with BBL (“BBL 360”)
Together in one operation, Lipo 360 reduces the waist and the BBL adds volume to the buttocks with that fat, giving a more defined waist-to-hip ratio.
Who it suits
People with a stable weight and localised fat on the trunk. You need enough donor fat; with a lot of loose skin a tummy tuck may be better. The plastic surgeon decides from your photos.
