Fat available for harvest
Slimmer patients yield less fat, requiring more areas of liposuction to gather enough for transfer — adds OR time and cost.
Liposuction extent
True 'BBL' is liposuction + fat transfer. The contouring phase (waist, back, flanks) is often the larger cost driver.
Specialized lipo techniques
VASER, Renuvion, or ultrasonic-assisted liposuction add $2,000–$5,000 to a standard BBL.
