Brazilian Butt Lift in Chicago

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a fat transfer procedure that uses a patient's own fat to enhance the shape, volume, and projection of the buttocks. Fat is removed from areas like the abdomen, waist, flanks, and lower back through liposuction, purified, and then strategically injected into the buttocks and hips. The result is a more contoured midsection and a fuller, more proportional backside. Because the procedure uses the patient's own tissue, the results are designed to look and feel natural.

Individual results may vary.

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a safe procedure when performed by a trained, experienced, board-certified surgeon. Dr. Truong and Dr. Lin have performed hundreds of BBLs and follow strict safety protocols, including the use of blunt cannulas, ultrasound-guided fat transfer, and superficial injection techniques to minimize risk. As with any surgery, potential risks include bruising, swelling, skin irregularities, or asymmetry. The most serious but exceedingly rare complication, fat embolism, is minimized through proper technique. Choosing a qualified surgeon is the single most important factor in patient safety.

Individual results may vary.

A good candidate for a BBL is in good overall health, at or near ideal body weight, and wants a more sculpted, fuller buttock shape. Ideal candidates have good skin quality with minimal laxity and enough body fat available for transfer. Although liposuction is part of the BBL procedure, it is not a weight-loss surgery. Patients with a BMI over 30 may need to lose weight before becoming candidates. Patients who are very thin or have limited body fat may still qualify for a Skinny BBL procedure. Schedule a complimentary virtual consultation to find out if this procedure is a fit.

BBL results are designed to be long-lasting because the procedure uses the patient's own living fat cells. Once the transferred fat cells establish blood supply in the new location, they are expected to remain for the long term. Since they are the patient's own fat cells, they may grow and shrink proportionately with overall weight changes. Maintaining a stable, healthy weight supports the longevity of results.

Individual results may vary.

A BBL creates the appearance of a lift by adding volume and fullness, but it is technically a fat transfer procedure, not a surgical lift. No skin or tissue is removed and there are no visible scars. Fat is strategically injected into the buttocks to increase volume, fill the skin, and create a rounder, more projected shape. When the area is fuller and tighter, the result looks and feels like a lift. Dr. Truong's Country Club BBL is specifically designed for patients who want a natural, proportionate result.

Patients should avoid sitting directly on the treated areas for at least four to six weeks after a BBL. This allows the newly transferred fat cells the best chance to establish blood supply and survive. During this period, patients can sit using a BBL cradle pillow, shift weight frequently, or sit on the lower buttocks and upper thighs since most fat is injected into the lateral hip and upper buttock areas. The care team provides detailed post-operative sitting and sleeping instructions to help protect results throughout recovery.
