What is a
Brazilian Butt Lift?

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a two-part procedure: fat is first harvested from donor areas (abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs) using liposuction, then purified and injected into the buttocks to add volume and improve shape.

The dual benefit is that you simultaneously slim the donor areas and enhance the gluteal region — improving your overall body proportion.

Dr. Chung performs this procedure with strict safety protocols. The fat is injected only into the subcutaneous layer, never intramuscularly, following the current safety guidelines established by plastic surgery boards worldwide.

How does the
process work?

Dr. Chung reshapes and repositions the gluteal area for a firmer, lifted, more projected result — with natural-looking curves.

01
Consultation & Planning
Dr. Chung evaluates your current gluteal shape, skin quality and the degree of ptosis (sagging) to determine the best approach — lift, fat transfer or both.
02
Technique Selection
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) with fat transfer, direct butt lift, or combination is selected based on your anatomy and the amount of projection/lifting desired.
03
Procedure
In fat transfer cases: fat is harvested via liposuction from donor areas, processed and injected with precision into the gluteal area. Direct lifts remove excess skin for a higher position.
04
Recovery & Results
A special positioning pillow is used for 2–3 weeks. Transferred fat settles over 3–6 months; lifted contour is immediately appreciable.

What can be
improved?

Projection & volume

Increases gluteal projection and volume for a fuller, rounder appearance — using your own fat (no implants).

Shape & curve

Reshapes the gluteal area for more feminine, proportional curves — correcting flat or square buttocks.

Ptosis correction

Lifts sagging skin and tissue for a higher, tighter gluteal position — restoring a more youthful appearance.

Waist definition

Liposuction of waist, flanks and lower back performed simultaneously creates a more dramatic hourglass effect.

Hip augmentation

Fat can be distributed to the hips as well for a complete hip-to-buttock enhancement.

Natural results

Using your own fat eliminates implant-related risks and achieves exceptionally natural feel and appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about
Brazilian Butt Lift

Typically 60–80% of the transferred fat survives long-term. Some absorption occurs in the weeks following surgery. Dr. Chung accounts for this when determining transfer volume.

You should avoid direct pressure on the buttocks for the first 2–3 weeks. Dr. Chung will provide specific guidance on positions, pillows, and activity restrictions during recovery.

Fat transfer avoids the risks associated with foreign implants (capsular contracture, displacement, infection). However, BBL requires a sufficient donor volume of fat. Dr. Chung evaluates the best option for each case.

Results are long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight. The surviving fat cells behave like normal fat — they can shrink or grow with significant weight changes.

If you have limited donor fat, Dr. Chung will discuss alternatives including gluteal implants or a combination approach. This is evaluated at your consultation.
