If you’re designing your own liposuction 360 procedure, you may run into this question:
Do I want lipo 360 BBL included? Or lipo 360 no BBL?
The first thing to stress here is why you might consider a BBL with your lipo 360 procedure in the first place. And the answer is that lipo 360 and BBL (Brazilian butt lift) surgery are often combined.
Patients seek to reduce excess fat all the way around their abdomen (360 lipo), and while they do so, they consider enlarging the size of their buttocks and hips (BBL surgery). This combination can result in an attractive hourglass figure.
Of course, there are both pros and cons to combining these two surgeries, and these are what we will be going over below.
360 Lipo with BBL vs 360 Lipo no BBL
The first way to decide between lipo 360 with a BBL vs lipo 360 without a BBL is to look at before and after pictures. Check out both lipo 360 no BBL before and after photos and lipo 360 with BBL before and after pictures. See which you like the look of best to help you decide.
Beyond that, here are some pros and cons for each option. Consider these as you make your ultimate decision.
Pros: Lipo 360 with BBL Surgery
Pros: Lipo 360 with BBL SurgeryEnhanced Body Contouring
Fat removal is one of the best ways to achieve your ideal body shape with body contouring. Adding a BBL doesn’t only remove stubborn fat, it transfers that fat to a place where more fat is appreciated: the buttocks.
Hourglass Shape
When lipo 360 eliminates stubborn fat deposits around the midsection, it creates a beautifully cinched waistline, reminiscent of wearing a corset. This fat can then be transferred to the buttocks (BBL), which adds volume and ultimately creates a lovely hourglass shape — the ideal shape for most women.
Single Recovery Period
Undergoing circumferential liposuction comes with a substantial recovery period, as does BBL surgery. Combining these two surgeries gives you just one recovery period as opposed to two separate periods.
Change of Shape Without Losing Weight
Many patients want a BBL and lipo 360 surgery because they’re already at their ideal body weight, but they don’t like their body shape. They have unwanted fat in unwanted places.
Even a more significant weight loss wouldn’t give them what they want. And weight gain for aesthetics only is typically not recommended or healthy.
In this case, as long as sagging skin and skin removal are not involved, fat grafting is the best solution. This allows liposuction patients to get engage in their own body shaping endeavor, removing unwanted fat cells for a flatter tummy and body sculpting to enhance the hips and buttocks.
Cons: Lipo 360 with BBL Surgery
Longer Recovery Time
Of course, even though it can be easier to combine recovery times when combining surgeries, this also means that this combined recovery time can be a lot more challenging. With that said, BBL and lipo 360 surgery are frequently combined, and the resulting recovery time is typically not that difficult for patients.
More Potential Complications
Complications are rare with both lipo 360 and BBL surgery, but there are possible risks nonetheless. When two surgeries are combined, this does slightly increase the risks (though again, they are very rare).
Higher Cost of Surgery
Lastly, when two surgeries are combined, the ultimate surgery cost will naturally go up. This is why some patients will separate their surgeries: They’re better able to financially pay for each procedure this way.
FAQ: Lipo 360
FAQ: Lipo 360Will I have lipo 360 scars?
Yes, all types of liposuction result in scars because like other plastic surgery procedures liposuction necessitates incisions for fat reduction. The good news is that incisions required for liposuction are very small – usually just a few millimeters long. Each incision needs to be long enough to accommodate a thin metal tube with holes in it called a cannula.
All of this means that lipo 360 scars are very small and will also fade and flatten out very nicely once they heal. It’s rare to be able to see lipo 360 scars, especially when you’re not looking for them in the first place.
Should I get 360 lipo with or without a tummy tuck?
When it comes to 360 lipo surgery without tummy tuck vs with tummy tuck, it really depends on whether you have loose skin on your stomach. If not, you won’t want a tummy tuck procedure in most cases as this is the primary reason for this surgery.
If you do have excess abdominal skin, talk to your surgeon about what a combination lipo 360 and tummy tuck surgery would look like in terms of lipo 360 cost, recovery, and other factors. Ask to see tummy tuck and lipo 360 before and after pictures to help make your decision.
