Medically reviewed: Last reviewed by Mr Reza Nassab, FRCS Plast —

With Mr Reza Nassab, buttock fat grafting (BBL) is priced from £12,500. That figure covers the surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital and theatre fees, your compression garment and routine follow-up. The £150 consultation is charged separately, and your final quote depends on the number of liposuction areas, your body shape and whether other procedures are combined.

Price: Buttock fat grafting (BBL) from £12,500 · Consultation £150, charged separately · Full price list

What the price includes

Your quote is intended to cover the full surgical episode:

  • Surgeon’s fee: for planning, performing the liposuction and the fat transfer.
  • Anaesthetist’s fee: a consultant anaesthetist for the general anaesthetic.
  • Hospital and theatre: the operating theatre, nursing care, overnight stay if required and routine medication on discharge.
  • Compression garment: a medical-grade garment fitted after surgery.
  • Routine follow-up: post-operative appointments to check healing and progress.

Any additional items, such as extra garments or lymphatic massage if you choose it, will be explained in writing before you commit.

The consultation fee

The consultation costs £150 and is not deducted from, or included in, the surgical price. It gives you time with Mr Nassab to discuss your goals, have a full examination of the donor areas and buttocks, talk through the risks and receive a written, individual quote. Taking time to consider the information before booking is encouraged.

What can change your quote

  • Donor areas: the number and size of areas treated with liposuction, such as the abdomen, flanks, back or thighs.
  • Body shape: very slim patients may need a modified approach, such as a skinny BBL, while larger reductions may take longer.
  • Combined procedures: a BBL is sometimes combined with a tummy tuck or as part of a mummy makeover, which changes the overall price.
  • Length of stay: some patients need an overnight stay for comfort or safety.
  • Revision cases: surgery after a previous BBL elsewhere is quoted individually.

Why BBL is priced as it is

A BBL is a lengthy operation that combines liposuction over several areas with careful, controlled fat transfer. BAAPS safety guidance advises that fat should be placed only in the subcutaneous layer, above the gluteal muscle and never into or beneath it, which requires time and precision. The price reflects consultant-led care in a CQC-registered hospital, a qualified anaesthetist, experienced theatre staff and proper aftercare. For comparison, liposuction alone costs from £7,500 for one area, and Vaser liposuction from £8,000 for one area.

Paying for your surgery

Many patients pay in full before surgery. Finance may be available through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status and credit checks. Reza Nassab Ltd acts as a credit broker, not a lender, and you should only borrow what you can comfortably repay. It is worth budgeting for time off work, as most people need around two weeks before returning to desk work, and for the fact that you will need to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for a period.

The risks of very cheap surgery abroad

Low-cost BBL packages abroad can seem attractive, but the price often reflects shorter operating times, limited checks and little or no aftercare. Flying soon after major liposuction increases the risk of blood clots, and if complications arise after you return home you may have no surgeon to contact. Fat grafting to the buttocks carries a rare but potentially life-threatening risk of fat entering the blood vessels, which is why technique, training and hospital standards matter far more than price.

Budgeting beyond the surgical fee

When planning, it helps to think about the practical costs of recovery as well as the operation. Most people take around two weeks off desk-based work, and longer for physical jobs. You may want a pressure-relieving cushion for when sitting is allowed, loose clothing that fits comfortably over the compression garment, and help at home with childcare or lifting for the first week or so. If you live some distance from the hospital, factor in travel to follow-up appointments. Being realistic about these arrangements in advance makes recovery calmer and helps you follow aftercare advice, which in turn supports the best chance of a good result.
