Combining a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) with Lipo 360 in a single operation reshapes the entire midsection and the buttocks at the same time, using fat removed from one area to augment the other.
A BBL takes fat harvested from the abdomen, flanks, or back, processes it, and re-injects it into the buttocks to add volume and shape. Because the donor sites are also contoured during the same procedure, both halves of the body are addressed in one operation.
Lipo 360 differs from standard liposuction by treating the midsection circumferentially — upper and lower abdomen, flanks, and mid-to-lower back — rather than a single area. Combined with a BBL, it produces a tighter waist alongside a fuller, more rounded posterior.

What is Lipo 360?
Lipo 360 is liposuction performed all the way around the midsection in a single procedure. It treats the upper and lower abdomen, flanks, and mid-to-lower back, addressing areas that diet and exercise often can’t shift — particularly the obliques and lower back.
Because the entire waistline is treated at once, fat removal is more uniform and the front, side, and back profiles all change together. This avoids the situation where a standard abdominal liposuction leaves untreated bulges visible from the side or behind.
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) uses your own fat — harvested via liposuction from the abdomen, hips, or thighs — and transfers it to the buttocks to add volume and shape. Because the procedure uses your own tissue, there is no risk of rejection or reaction associated with implants or filler-based alternatives.
Safety considerations
Older BBL techniques injected fat into or beneath the gluteal muscles, which carries a known risk of fat embolism if the needle enters one of the deep gluteal veins. Centre for Surgery uses an ultrasound-guided technique that keeps fat placement above the muscle layer, where the major veins are not present. This is the current safest approach to BBL surgery and is the standard recommended by the multi-society BBL safety advisory.

Combining Lipo 360 and BBL
Lipo 360 produces the fat that the BBL uses, so combining the two avoids a separate fat-harvest procedure and addresses the waist and buttocks in a single operation. The fat removed from the midsection — typically several litres — provides ample graft material for the buttocks.
Cost
A combined Lipo 360 and BBL at Centre for Surgery starts from £8,500. The final cost depends on the volume of liposuction needed and the amount of fat to be transferred. Detailed pricing is provided at consultation.

Procedure
The combined procedure is performed under general anaesthesia. Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) is used to harvest fat from the midsection. The fat is then purified and injected into the buttocks under ultrasound guidance, with placement kept above the gluteal muscle layer to avoid the deep venous plexus.
Recovery
Swelling and bruising are at their peak in the first two weeks and subside gradually over six to eight weeks. A compression garment is worn full-time for the first six weeks. Sitting directly on the buttocks should be avoided for two to three weeks — a BBL pillow is used to redistribute pressure to the thighs. Most patients return to office work at two to three weeks; strenuous exercise is delayed until six to eight weeks.

Results
The buttocks initially appear larger than the final result because of swelling and because surgeons over-graft to compensate for the 30–40% of transferred fat that the body reabsorbs in the first three months. The final shape becomes apparent at three to six months once the surviving fat has stabilised.
