How Much Does a BBL Cost in the UK?

Posted on [post_date] [post_comments] [post_edit]

The Brazilian Butt Lift, often referred to as a BBL, is a popular body contouring treatment that enhances the appearance of your buttocks by redistributing fat from other areas of the body to the buttocks. At Centre for Surgery in London, we’re not just experts in this field, we’re pioneers. We’ve developed a unique approach called ultrasound-guided BBL, which is a safer alternative to the original method. Our team has performed this treatment hundreds of times, and it has become one of our standout services at our clinic.

This article aims to provide you with an idea of how much you might expect to pay for a Brazilian Butt Lift if you choose to have the procedure done at Centre for Surgery in London.

How Much Will a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Cost in London?

If you’re considering getting a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) at Centre for Surgery in London, you might be wondering about the cost. Generally speaking, our starting price for a BBL is £6500. However, the final price can vary because each patient’s needs are different. The factors that can influence the cost include the number of areas that require fat removal through liposuction, as well as the complexity of the surgery itself. We recommend booking a consultation at our Baker Street clinic in London to get an exact quote tailored to your needs.

When we quote you a price, it’s pretty comprehensive. It includes the anaesthetics, fees for the surgeon and nurses, the cost of using our surgical facility, the liposuction and fat transfer procedures, and a full year of follow-up visits at our clinic.

While we aim to make your recovery as smooth as possible, there are additional costs that you’ll need to cover. Your surgeon will prescribe medication for pain relief during your recovery, which you’ll need to buy. Additionally, if you require a chaperone service for transportation or assistance, this will incur an extra fee.

If you decide to go for any additional cosmetic treatments alongside your BBL, these will be priced separately.

On average, a BBL in the UK costs around £ 6,000. The price tag at Centre for Surgery in London reflects the skills of our surgeons and the advanced ultrasound-guided BBL technique we use. This method is not only safer but also delivers more natural-looking results. It involves additional equipment and time, which is factored into the cost.

On the other hand, it might be tempting to consider cheaper options abroad, like in Turkey, where the cost can be as low as £2,500. However, these operations are often performed in settings that don’t meet safety standards, putting your health and even your life at risk. In fact, we frequently see patients at the Centre for Surgery who require revisions to poorly executed surgeries from abroad, which ultimately end up costing them significantly more in the long run.

Therefore, if you’re considering a BBL, it’s strongly recommended that you go for a qualified and experienced surgeon to ensure the best and safest results.

What Happens During a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Procedure?

The process of undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift at Centre for Surgery typically takes between two and four hours. You’ll either be under sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on what’s best for your specific case. The first part of the surgery involves liposuction. Here, the surgeon targets particular areas of your body where fat will be removed. They’ll make tiny cuts in your skin and insert a special suction tube, known as a cannula, to take out the fat. After that, the fat cells are cleaned and readied for the next step.

In the second part of the surgery, those cleaned fat cells get injected back into particular areas of your buttocks. This is the magic moment where your bum starts to take on that fuller, shapelier look you’re after.

Right after the surgery, you’ll already see a noticeable difference in the size and shape of your buttocks. But don’t get too attached to that initial look just yet! Over the course of 3-6 months, your body will naturally absorb about 20-30% of those newly-injected fat cells, leading to some loss in volume.

However, it’s not all bad news. The fat cells that do stick around will fully integrate into the tissues of your buttocks, giving you a long-lasting, natural enhancement. Plus, it could take up to six months to see the final, ‘settled-in’ look of your enhanced buttocks, as any remaining swelling goes down.

Combining BBL with Other Cosmetic Procedures

If you’re looking to revamp more than just your buttocks, you’re not alone. Many of our patients at Centre for Surgery in London choose to combine a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) with other cosmetic treatments for a more complete makeover.

Since liposuction is a key part of the BBL procedure, you might also choose to extend this treatment to other areas. Our surgeons typically perform liposuction on the abdomen, thighs, and flanks during a BBL, but if you have extra fat in other areas that you’d like to remove, that can also be addressed in the same session.

Prices for these extra liposuction treatments depend on the size of the areas you want to address. As a general guide, expect to pay around £ 3,500 for one small area (such as the neck) and £ 4,000 for a larger area.

One popular combination is pairing a BBL with a tummy tuck. Officially called abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck involves removing excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and, in some cases, tightening the muscles to achieve a flatter stomach and a stronger core. But do note: because the tummy is at the front and the buttocks are at the back, doing both procedures at the same time isn’t recommended for a smooth recovery. So, our surgeons will perform these surgeries in two separate stages.

The cost of a tummy tuck can vary widely based on several factors, such as the specific type of procedure you opt for. As a general guide, prices start from £5000 for a mini tummy tuck and £8000 for a full tummy tuck.

Many patients aiming for the hourglass figure also choose to enhance their breasts through augmentation. At Centre for Surgery, we offer various methods for breast augmentation, including fat transfer, breast implants, and a combined approach known as hybrid breast augmentation. The hybrid method delivers a highly natural look by using both implants and fat transfer.

The cost for breast augmentation can also vary depending on which treatment option you go for. Generally speaking, prices for this procedure start at £5500.

Combining procedures can be a cost-effective and time-saving way to achieve the comprehensive transformation you desire. However, it’s crucial to consult with our experienced surgeons to determine the best treatment plan for you.

Is a Brazilian Butt Lift Worth the Investment?

Many patients find a BBL to be a worthwhile investment, particularly when it is carried out by a skilled and qualified plastic surgeon. The procedure uses a natural approach, utilising fat from one part of the body to enhance another, resulting in long-lasting and natural-looking results.

One of the reasons people feel particularly confident about getting a BBL at Centre for Surgery is our advanced ultrasound-guided technique. This state-of-the-art approach not only makes the procedure safer but also improves the quality of the results.
