There is no single amount of filler that everyone needs for a liquid BBL. The appropriate volume depends on your starting anatomy, the areas being treated, existing asymmetry, the amount of contour change requested and whether the result is being created in one session or gradually through staged treatment.
At Deep Aesthetics, Liquid BBL treatment is planned individually rather than by automatically selecting the largest available volume. The current package includes up to 560ml, but that maximum is not necessarily appropriate for every client.
Liquid BBL Filler Volume: Quick Answer
As a general planning example, lower volumes may be discussed for selected hip-dip correction or subtle contour changes, while larger volumes may be considered when several areas need additional fullness or projection.
| Treatment goal | Example volume discussion |
| Selected hip-dip or contour correction | Lower-volume plan may be sufficient |
| Subtle rounding or selected fullness | Around 200–300ml may be discussed |
| Broader contour or projection | Around 400–560ml may be discussed |
| Larger or more complex change | Staged treatment may be considered |
These figures are not universal dosing recommendations. The final amount should be determined after assessing anatomy, tissue characteristics, treatment areas, goals and medical suitability.

Why Does Liquid BBL Filler Volume Vary?
A Liquid BBL uses injectable filler to add temporary volume to selected areas of the buttocks and hips. Because the treatment area is considerably larger than a typical facial-filler area, the total volume discussed can also be much higher.
However, volume alone does not determine the quality of a result.
A practitioner should consider:
- Starting buttock and hip shape
- Depth and position of hip dips
- Existing projection
- Upper and lateral fullness
- Side-to-side asymmetry
- Number of areas being treated
- Tissue condition and capacity
- Previous filler or cosmetic procedures
- Desired degree of cosmetic change
- Whether one or more sessions are appropriate
This is why two clients requesting the same treatment may receive completely different volume recommendations.

How Much Filler Is Needed for Hip Dips?
Hip-dip treatment often requires a different strategy from increasing overall buttock projection.
If the main concern is a defined indentation on the outer hip, filler may be concentrated around selected lateral areas rather than distributed throughout the entire buttock.
Someone with mild hip dips and otherwise good natural fullness may therefore require less filler than someone seeking changes to:
- Both hip dips
- Upper-buttock fullness
- Lateral contour
- Central projection
- Overall symmetry
The key question is not simply “How many ml do I need?” It is also “Where does the filler need to be placed to create the intended contour?”
Is 200ml Enough for a Liquid BBL?
For some clients, approximately 200ml may be enough for a selected contour adjustment. For others, particularly where several areas need additional volume, it may produce a more limited change.
A client who already has natural projection but wants selected hip-dip correction may require a different plan from someone with a wider frame seeking increased fullness across the hips and buttocks.
Deep Aesthetics’ existing guidance uses approximately 200–300ml as an example of a more subtle rounding or contour plan, but the exact result cannot be predicted from the number of millilitres alone.

Is 400ml to 560ml Better?
Not automatically.
A larger volume may be discussed when the treatment plan covers more surface area or when more visible contour change is requested. Deep Aesthetics’ current Liquid BBL package includes up to 560ml, and larger-volume plans may be considered for broader contour or projection.
But more filler does not automatically mean a better result.
The proposed amount should remain appropriate for:
- The client’s anatomy
- Tissue characteristics
- Starting proportions
- Desired cosmetic change
- Treatment areas
- Overall clinical assessment
If the requested change is too large for an appropriate single treatment, a staged approach may be discussed instead of simply using more filler at once.
Does 560ml Mean 280ml Per Side?
No. Do not assume that a total filler volume will automatically be divided equally between both sides.
Human bodies are naturally asymmetrical. One hip dip may be deeper, one side may have greater projection, or a different placement pattern may be required to create better balance.
Deep Aesthetics describes its package as up to 560ml total filler volume.
During consultation, useful questions include:
- Is the quoted amount the total volume?
- How much is likely to be placed on each side?
- Which areas will be treated?
- Does one side require more correction?
- Is the treatment planned for one session or several?
These questions provide much more useful information than simply comparing package sizes.
Can a Liquid BBL Be Built Gradually?
Yes. Where appropriate, a larger cosmetic change may be developed through staged treatment rather than attempting to achieve the full result in one appointment.
A staged approach allows the practitioner to review how the initial contour settles before deciding whether additional volume may be appropriate.
This may be particularly relevant where a client wants broader changes across several areas rather than a single selected correction.
The decision should be based on anatomy, treatment response and clinical assessment rather than an assumption that every client should receive the same number of sessions.
Does Filler Volume Affect Liquid BBL Cost?
Yes, treatment volume is one of the factors that can affect cost because body contouring can require significantly more filler than smaller treatment areas.
Deep Aesthetics currently lists:
- Standard Liquid BBL price: £4,000
- Current package price: £2,995
- Total filler volume: up to 560ml
The current figures can also be reviewed on the Deep Aesthetics price list.
However, a package maximum should not become a target volume. Final treatment areas, filler amount and pricing should still be confirmed individually.
Does More Filler Increase Risk?
Liquid BBL is an invasive injectable cosmetic procedure and should not be treated as a routine high-volume version of facial filler.
Possible complications may include:
- Swelling and bruising
- Tenderness or pain
- Infection
- Lumps or nodules
- Uneven contour
- Filler movement
- Skin changes
- Inflammatory reactions
- Tissue injury
- Vascular complications
Rare but serious complications may occur if filler affects the blood supply to surrounding tissue.
For this reason, treatment planning should consider not only the desired cosmetic result but also individual anatomy, appropriate filler placement, volume, practitioner experience, aftercare and access to complication management.
The treatment should never be described as completely safe, risk-free or guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many ml do you need for a Liquid BBL?
There is no single volume that is appropriate for everyone. The amount depends on anatomy, treatment areas, existing proportions, asymmetry and the degree of contour change requested.
Is 200ml enough for a Liquid BBL?
It may be enough for some selected or subtle contour changes. Someone seeking broader hip and buttock enhancement may require a different treatment plan.
Is 500ml a lot of filler?
500ml is a high volume compared with facial filler, but a Liquid BBL involves a much larger anatomical area. Whether that volume is appropriate cannot be determined from the number alone.
What is the maximum Liquid BBL package at Deep Aesthetics?
Deep Aesthetics currently advertises a Liquid BBL package of up to 560ml for £2,995. “Up to 560ml” describes the package maximum rather than the amount every client should receive.
Do both sides receive the same amount of filler?
Not necessarily. Natural asymmetry may mean one side requires a different amount or placement pattern to achieve better balance.
Can Liquid BBL treatment be completed over several sessions?
Yes, where clinically appropriate. Larger or more complex contour changes may sometimes be planned through staged treatment rather than one appointment.
Can Liquid BBL filler be dissolved?
Where a confirmed hyaluronic acid filler has been used, hyaluronidase may sometimes be considered to dissolve some or all of the filler where clinically appropriate. Complete or immediate removal cannot be guaranteed, and dissolving treatment has its own risks.
How much does a Liquid BBL cost?
Deep Aesthetics currently lists a £2,995 package for up to 560ml, with a standard displayed price of £4,000. Final pricing and treatment volume should be confirmed during consultation.
Final Thoughts
So, how much filler do you need for a Liquid BBL? There is no single correct number. A selected hip-dip or contour adjustment may require considerably less filler than a treatment involving upper-buttock fullness, projection, lateral contour and asymmetry together. Although Deep Aesthetics currently offers a package of up to 560ml, the aim should not be to use the maximum amount automatically.
The proposed volume should follow the client’s anatomy, tissue characteristics, treatment areas, goals and individual assessment.
