Are there less incisions or scars with 360 lipo/BBL vs. a regular BBL?

Question

And which method is the preferred method?

George Marosan, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. As a Total Definer body sculpting surgeon, I approach the body in 3D. I'm not sure what is your understanding of this procedure or what you mean by a "regular BBL". To me a BBL is a technical and artistic operation based on your muscle and bony anatomy, the amount of fat you have that a surgeon can transfer for shaping and enhancement of the buttocks and sculpt the rest of the body to create a feminine hourglass figure. I use the VASER Hi Def Lipo technique for fat collection and body sculpting.I personally, place my incisions in such a way that you cannot tell that any surgery was done (top of buttock crack, buttock folds, armpits, in the breast crease, belly button). These are stealth incisions. Some surgeons place it all over the body in highly visible areas and they will tell you that these will become imperceptible as they fade away. Not so true in brown or black skin tones and they are a forever reminder that you had surgery. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body techniques who understands the principles of creating beautiful non- operated looking bodies. Good luck.See the attached web reference.

Hello and thank you for your question. There is only one type of BBL, which includes liposuction of abdomen, flanks and lower back (also referred to as 360 liposuction), followed by fat transfer to buttocks. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon
for a full evaluation and advice. Best,

The scars are small, but some surgeons will make many more incisions and in less discrete locations.  Scars are usually red for the first 3 months and then usually fade for a year or longer. I typically use three port sites to liposuction the pubic area, the upper and lower abdomen, the flanks, and the upper and lower back.  If you do other excisional procedures, the number of port sites may be decreased.

Dear vdubb17,
BBL surgery consists of liposuction and fat transfer. Most incision scars can be well hidden. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Lipo 360 + BBL is more extensive procedure than just a BBL, so there will be more incisions with lipo 360. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will help you get an accurate recommendation for your procedure and for pricing.
