BBL and 360 Lipo

BBL and 360 Lipo. In the world of modern aesthetics, few combinations have gained as much global traction or created as many stunning transformations as the pairing of the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) with 360 degree Liposuction. While each procedure offers significant benefits on its own, together they represent the ultimate body contouring solution. Why is this combination so essential? Because a truly shapely, curvaceous physique is all about contrast and proportion. You cannot have a popping, voluminous backside without a slim, defined waist to accentuate it. It is the interplay between a snatched midsection and projected hips that creates the magic.

At International Plus, we view BBL and 360 Lipo not just as surgery but as a form of high definition sculpting. It is about removing unwanted volume from where you do not want it and strategically placing it where you do. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every aspect of this transformative journey, from the surgical techniques to the recovery essentials, ensuring you have all the information needed to make an empowered decision about your body goals.

Hourglass Figure Surgery

The coveted hourglass silhouette is defined by a specific ratio between the shoulders, waist and hips. For many women, genetics dictates a “square” or “apple” shape where the waist width is similar to the hips. Hourglass Figure Surgery is designed to manually override these genetics by altering the body’s fundamental proportions.

By aggressively reducing the waistline through liposuction and simultaneously expanding the hip width through fat grafting, we manipulate the visual data the eye receives. The result is a dramatic curve that mimics the classic feminine ideal. This surgery does more than just remove fat; it creates a flow to the body. It ensures that the transition from the ribcage to the waist is tapered and the transition from the waist to the hips is smooth and voluminous. This structural change is permanent, provided the patient maintains a stable weight, making it a life changing investment in one’s silhouette.

Waist Snatching Surgery

The term “snatched” has become synonymous with a waist that is tight, tapered and incredibly defined. Waist snatching is the primary goal of the liposuction phase of this surgery. However, standard liposuction on the front of the stomach is rarely enough to achieve this look. This is where Lipo 360 comes into play.

To truly snatch the waist, the surgeon must address the entire circumference of the torso. This involves removing deep and superficial fat layers from the upper and lower abdomen, the flanks (love handles) and the lower back. By clearing out the bulk from the sides and back, the skin retracts to reveal the natural muscular structure beneath. International Plus utilizes advanced technologies like Vaser technology (ultrasound assisted liposuction) which liquefies fat cells before removal. This allows for much more precise sculpting and skin tightening compared to traditional methods, ensuring that the waist is not just smaller but also firmer and more defined.

Fat Transfer To Hips

One of the most common complaints we hear from patients is about “hip dips”—the inward depression along the side of the body just below the hip bone. These indentations can disrupt the smooth curve of the hourglass shape. Fat Transfer To Hips is a critical component of the BBL procedure that specifically targets this area.

During the BBL, the purified fat harvested from the 360 Lipo is carefully injected into the buttocks for projection and also into the lateral hip depressions. Filling these dips rounds out the hips, creating a seamless, continuous curve from the waist down to the thigh. This lateral expansion is often what gives the body that “wow” factor in front facing photos. It widens the appearance of the lower body while the liposuction narrows the upper body, maximizing the hourglass ratio. This technique requires a high level of artistic vision to ensure symmetry and a natural transition between zones.

Lipo 360 and BBL Cost

For many international patients, the cost of body contouring in the US or UK can be prohibitive, often reaching tens of thousands of dollars. This is where Turkey offers a significant advantage. The Lipo 360 and BBL cost in Istanbul is considerably more accessible due to lower operational costs and favorable exchange rates, without any compromise on medical standards or surgical expertise.

At International Plus, we believe in transparency and value. Our pricing structure is designed to be all inclusive, meaning the quote you receive covers the essential elements of your journey. We combine the surgical fees, anesthesia, hospital stay, medication and VIP transfers into a comprehensive package. This allows our patients to budget effectively without worrying about hidden fees. By choosing International Plus, you are accessing world class surgical talent and premium facilities for a fraction of the price you would pay domestically, making your dream body an attainable reality.

BBL and Lipo 360 Before After

The visual impact of this surgery is best understood by looking at results. BBL and Lipo 360 before after photos often show transformations that look like two different people. In the “before” images, patients may appear boxy, lacking definition or carrying stubborn weight in the midsection. In the “after” images, the transformation is striking: a flat, toned abdomen flows into a tiny waist which then flares out into full, rounded hips and a projected buttock.

These results are not just about size; they are about shape. The skin appears tighter, the posture often improves due to a stronger core and the overall confidence radiating from the patient is palpable. It is important to have realistic expectations, but the potential for dramatic change with this combination procedure is higher than almost any other body contouring surgery.

One of our patients, Jessica from the USA, shares: ‘I always had a boxy shape no matter how much I worked out. The 360 Lipo snatched my waist so much that my new hips look incredible. It’s the curves I always dreamed of.’

Lipo 360 Recovery

Recovering from Lipo 360 is a process that requires patience and dedication. Because the surgery addresses the entire torso, you will likely feel sore and stiff around your entire midsection. The first week is the most intensive phase. You may have surgical drains placed to prevent fluid accumulation, which are typically removed within a few days to a week.

Swelling is a normal and expected part of the healing process. You might feel “puffy” or bloated for several weeks. Mobility will be limited initially so having a support system or using our nursing services is beneficial. Walking is encouraged immediately to promote circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots. It is vital to follow all post operative instructions regarding hygiene and activity levels. Most patients return to sedentary work within 10 to 14 days, though strenuous exercise must be avoided for at least six weeks to allow the tissues to heal properly.

Pain Level BBL Lipo

Patients often ask about the pain level associated with this surgery. It is important to be honest: this is a major procedure and some discomfort is to be expected. However, most patients describe the sensation not as sharp pain but as extreme soreness, similar to the feeling after a very intense workout where you have overexerted your muscles.

This deep ache is managed effectively with prescribed pain medication for the first few days. After that, most patients transition to over the counter pain relievers. The areas treated with liposuction may feel tender to the touch or numb for a period. The fat transfer sites on the buttocks are usually less painful but can feel tight due to the added volume. At International Plus, our anesthesia team ensures you are comfortable throughout your hospital stay and we provide a detailed pain management plan for your recovery at the hotel and back home.

Faja For BBL and Lipo

The faja (medical compression garment) is your best friend during recovery. It is not just an accessory; it is a medical necessity. After liposuction, the skin has been separated from the underlying tissue. The faja applies consistent, firm pressure to ensure the skin adheres smoothly back to the muscle, preventing fluid buildup (seromas) and minimizing swelling.

You will typically need to wear your faja 24 hours a day (except for showering) for the first 4 to 6 weeks, and then 12 hours a day for several weeks after that. It helps mold your new shape as you heal. Finding the right fit is crucial; it should be tight enough to compress but not so tight that it cuts off circulation or causes pain. As your swelling goes down, you may need to have your faja taken in or purchase a smaller size to maintain adequate compression.

As Dr. Hakan from International Plus advises: ‘The surgery is only 50% of the result. The other 50% depends on your aftercare. Wearing your faja consistently and using the BBL pillow are non negotiable for achieving that perfect hourglass contour.’

BBL Recovery Pillow

Protecting the newly transferred fat cells is the most critical rule of BBL recovery. Fat grafts are fragile in the first few weeks and need to establish a blood supply to survive. Direct pressure can kill these cells and ruin your results. This means you cannot sit directly on your buttocks or lie on your back for at least 2 to 6 weeks.

This is where the BBL Recovery Pillow becomes essential. This specialized cushion is designed to support your thighs while allowing your buttocks to hang free, floating above the seat surface. This allows you to sit for short periods (for meals or travel) without putting pressure on the graft. You must use this pillow everywhere: in the car, on the plane and at home. Sleeping must be done on your stomach or side. Adhering to these sitting restrictions is the single most important thing you can do to ensure the survival of your new curves.

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas are treated in Lipo 360?

Lipo 360 refers to liposuction performed on the full circumference of the midsection. This typically includes the upper and lower abdomen, the obliques (flanks or love handles) and the mid to lower back (bra roll area). Treating all these areas ensures a balanced, circumferential reduction that maximizes waist definition.

How long do I need to wear the Faja after surgery?

Generally, you should wear your Stage 1 faja 24/7 for the first 4 to 6 weeks, removing it only to shower. After that, your surgeon may recommend switching to a Stage 2 faja or waist trainer for 12 hours a day for another 4 to 6 weeks to ensure optimal skin retraction and contouring.

Can I sit down after a BBL?

You cannot sit directly on your buttocks for at least 2 weeks, and preferably up to 6 weeks, to protect the fat grafts. You must use a BBL pillow which places weight on your thighs and keeps your buttocks elevated. You should also avoid sitting for prolonged periods even with the pillow during the initial healing phase.

Is it safe to combine Lipo 360 and BBL?

Yes, combining Lipo 360 and BBL is standard practice and is considered safe when performed by a qualified surgeon in an accredited facility. In fact, BBL requires liposuction to harvest the fat. However, there are limits to how much fat can be removed safely in one session to minimize risks. Your surgeon will determine safe limits based on your BMI and health. Subcutaneous injection (placing fat under the skin, not in the muscle) is the safety standard we strictly follow to prevent complications.

Conclusion

The combination of BBL and 360 Lipo offers a pathway to a physique that is often unattainable through diet and exercise alone. It is a powerful procedure that reshapes the body by removing volume where it is unwanted and enhancing curves where it is desired. While the recovery requires commitment and strict adherence to protocols like wearing your faja and avoiding sitting, the reward is a sculpted, hourglass figure that can dramatically boost your self confidence. At International Plus, we are dedicated to guiding you through this transformation safely and artistically.
