Looking to get rid of stubborn fat and enhance the curves you were born with? Consider combining Lipo 360 and a BBL for a comprehensive body contouring solution.
For many people, the goal isn’t just to lose fat but to reshape their figure in a way that feels more balanced. That’s why some choose to combine Lipo 360 with a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). By removing fat from the midsection and transferring it to the buttocks, hips, or thighs, the body can be sculpted into smoother curves and fuller proportions. Pairing both treatments into one procedure also means enjoying results sooner, with just a single recovery period.
In this article, we’ll cover how the two treatments work, both individually and together, and what to expect with a combined 360 lipo and fat transfer BBL procedure at Squlpt.
What is 360 Lipo and how does it work?
Lipo 360 with SoftSqulpt® begins with tiny incisions placed around the midsection in inconspicuous areas such as the bikini line, the tail bone and the belly button. A local anesthetic is used so patients remain awake and comfortable throughout the procedure. Using slim, vibration-assisted instruments, the surgeon gently loosens and removes excess fat from the abdomen, waist, flanks, and back. Because the fat is removed in a controlled way, the contours can be refined with precision. This gentler approach also reduces trauma to the tissue, which supports a quicker and smoother recovery.
Almost anyone looking to address stubborn fat around the midsection is a good candidate for this procedure, as long as you’re in good health and have a BMI of 38 or below.
Whether you choose it as a standalone treatment or combine it with a fat transfer treatment like a BBL, Midsection creates a contoured look that perfectly complements your natural curves.
What is a BBL and how does it work?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a fat transfer procedure that removes excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, back, thighs, arms and more and carefully injects it into the buttocks. This technique enhances shape and proportions using your own fat, creating results that look and feel natural.
BBL procedures can be tailored depending on your body type and the amount of enhancement you’re looking for.That’s why at Squlpt, we’ve developed two treatments depending on your body type and goals:
Petite BBL: Your bottom, with a boost.
. A Petite BBL focuses on subtle enhancement. It uses smaller amounts of fat transfer to fill hip dips or add gentle volume to the buttocks, keeping the overall look close to your natural proportions. Combined with SoftSqulpt Midsection, this transformative treatment rounds out your existing shape and fills the buttocks and hip dips for a curvier look that perfectly complements your natural shape.
XL BBL: For va-va-voom curves.
An XL BBL uses larger amounts of fat transfer to create fuller curves. This option is best suited for patients who want a more pronounced hourglass silhouette with added volume in the buttocks, hips, and outer thighs.We achieve this by adding higher volumes of fat, filling in the bottom and hip dips as well as the outer thighs for a fuller, hourglass shape that flows seamlessly with your figure.
Both BBL procedures are performed awake, eliminating the risks of general anesthesia. Because your own purified fat is used instead of silicone or saline implants, the results tend to look and feel natural while lasting over time.
Can you do Lipo 360 and BBL at the same time?
Absolutely. Lipo 360 and BBL are often performed together as they complement each other perfectly. With Lipo 360, we remove unwanted fat from the midsection, then we repurpose that same fat to enhance your bottom with a BBL treatment.
As with any surgical procedure, it’s essential that you choose a reputable practice with board certified plastic surgeons who are specialized in performing Lipo 360 and BBL. Here are just a few of the factors that set Squlpt apart:
The Squlpt difference
Safety first
While there are risks involved with any body contouring procedure, we do everything possible to reduce those risks to near-zero levels. Squlpt founder, Dr. Daniel Suissa, is a world-leading authority on BBL safety. His work and findings have helped improve the safety standards of BBLs around the globe, and inform our commitment to safety across all of our treatments at Squlpt.
Advanced technique
SoftSqulpt is a safer, gentler and more modern approach to awake liposuction and fat transfer. We use miniaturized instruments and smooth vibration to gently remove stubborn fat, then transfer it to the areas you’re looking to enhance. No scalpels or stitches.
Specialized expertise
Our certified plastic surgeons perform awake liposuction and fat transfer procedures exclusively, every single day. This makes us hyper specialized and allows us to deliver a significantly safer experience with consistently flawless results.
Personalized treatment plan
At Squlpt, we work closely with our patients to create a treatment plan tailored to their unique body type and goals. The first step is an in-depth virtual consultation with a Squlpt surgeon and body consultant, who will walk you through the Lipo 360 and BBL procedures, answer all your questions, and create the best treatment approach for you.
Performed awake
Our Lipo 360 and BBL procedures are performed awake without general anesthesia, significantly reducing the risk of complications. Being awake means you’re free to move around and change position, helping you feel more comfortable and in control. This approach also allows you to be an active participant in the procedure, able to interact with your surgeon and provide feedback live, resulting in a safer and more personalized experience with superior results.
The benefits of combining Lipo 360 and BBL
Many patients choose to combine Lipo 360 and BBL since it is an effective treatment approach with multiple benefits, including:
- Full body contouring: You can sculpt the midsection while adding volume to the bottom, removing fat from the right places and adding it where needed to create a streamlined, hourglass silhouette
- Natural look: Your results will be unique to your shape and body goals and always look proportionate.
- Lasting results: As long as you maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle, your new look will be yours to keep.
- Less downtime: Combining Lipo 360 and BBl treatments means you only have to go through one healing process instead of two, resulting in significantly less discomfort and downtime.
- No scalpels or stitches: Only tiny incision marks in hidden areas such as the bikini line, the belly button and the armpits.
What to expect post-procedure: pain and recovery
Discomfort
While you can expect to feel sore after any cosmetic procedure, our safe and gentle approach is designed to minimize discomfort while setting you up for a fast, seamless recovery. Most discomfort can be managed with ibuprofen and/or acetaminophen, but be sure to follow your surgeon’s advice for pain management and medication.
Swelling and bruising
As with any procedure, you will experience some swelling and bruising post-treatment, which is perfectly normal and a sign your body is healing. The degree of swelling and bruising is different for everyone, but you can expect it to peak within 5-7 days and to gradually improve from there.
Downtime
It’s important to keep in mind that the healing process and recovery timeline is different for everyone. But in general, you can expect to be up and about the next day, return to work within 3-10 days (depending on the procedure and the physicality of your job), and be back to your regular routine and exercise regimen within four to six weeks.
Aftercare
Following your procedure, our aftercare team will be there to support you at every step and provide personalized tips to promote healing. We also have a SoftHealing™ Aftercare guide, which contains all the information you’ll need to support your recovery.
Lipo 360 and BBL: When will I see results and how long will they last?
After your Lipo 360 and BBL procedure, you’ll see noticeable improvements as soon as you remove your compression garments. From there, your midsection and bottom will look presentable within 4 weeks, great at 8 weeks, and fully refined within 9-12 months as swelling fully subsides.
With SoftSqulpt Lipo 360, we permanently remove the unwanted fat cells, which means they’ll never come back. So as long as you maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle after your procedure, your new streamlined look will be yours to keep.
With a SoftSqulpt BBL, unlike BBL surgery with implants, we use your own body fat as filler to augment and enhance the bottom. Around 30% of the body fat we transfer will reabsorb naturally in the first six weeks post-treatment and the rest stays permanently from there. Our approach takes this into account so that once everything settles, you’ll be left with your goal look, with no redos or touch-ups needed.
