Is lipo and fat transfer to hips only a different procedure than a BBL?

Question

Since it has nothing to do with your butt if its only involving your midsection and hips. Curious if price will be different too since bbl procedures are typically very costly.

Liposuction with fat transfer to the buttock is often called a BBL. Fat transfers to the hips breasts, or anywhere else is exactly the same except for the area where the fat is put. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Fat transfer to the hips is a similar technique to BBL, but the fat is transferred to a different part of the body. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The
fat transfer is a procedure in which fat is removed from one area of the body, usually
through liposuction, processed and purified and injected into another area or
areas of the body for added volume. 
The
buttock lift using this technique has become quite popular in recent years but
fat cells can be transferred to many different areas of the body including but
not limited to the breast, face and hips.
Although
a fat transfer to the hips is not considered a Brazilian Buttock Lift, it would
likely be achieved using the same technique, be similar in cost and patients
can expect the same type of recovery time.

A BBL is simply liposuction and fat transfer to the buttocks. As to pricing it would by the surgeon.
