Welcome to WOOA Plastic Surgery

Body contouring in Gangnam with a dedicated international patient centre

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

WOOA Plastic Surgery sits in HM Tower on Gangnam-daero, a short walk from Sinnonhyeon and Gangnam stations. As a government-approved centre for international patients, we offer free online consultations, native-level interpreters and 24-hour urgent care support.

A BBL at WOOA uses your own purified fat to add volume and lift to the buttocks at the same time, shaping a naturally rounded, apple-shaped hip line that suits your proportions.

What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), also called buttock fat grafting, takes pure fat from areas such as the abdomen or thighs and transfers it to the buttocks to improve both volume and shape. The aim is not simply a bigger size: the plan considers your body proportions, pelvic structure and waist-to-hip ratio to create a lifted, well-defined contour. Because it uses your own fat rather than an implant, the result looks and feels soft and natural, and large incisions are usually not needed, so visible scarring is minimal.

How Is a BBL Performed at WOOA?

Pre-operative Consultation: A specialist reviews the size and shape of your hips and your individual body type to set the surgical plan.
Pure Fat Extraction: Your own fat is harvested with equipment designed for fat grafting, keeping cell damage to a minimum.
Anesthesia: The most suitable anesthesia method is chosen for you and administered under the guidance of an anesthesia specialist.
Fat Injection: Purified fat is layered evenly at multiple levels to build a smooth, natural shape and support fat survival.

Key Benefits of a BBL at WOOA

Natural Look and Feel: Your own fat gives soft volume with no foreign-body sensation.
Tailored Hip Line: Shape specialists analyse your hip line and plan a one-to-one customised result.
No Large Incisions: The procedure is simple and quick, allowing a relatively fast recovery.
Targeted Placement: Fat is placed only where it is needed, for smooth contours and long-term retention.

Who Is a BBL Recommended For?

A BBL may suit you if you:

Feel your buttocks lack volume.
Find your shape does not show even in trousers.
Want firm yet natural hip volume.
Would rather avoid implants or fillers.
Want buttock volume that stays natural over time.

Recovery and Aftercare

Early Recovery: Swelling can make the area look fuller at first; it gradually settles and the shape becomes more defined, with most patients seeing results stabilise within a few weeks.
Aftercare: 1–3 hours of rest in a recovery room, compression garments in your size, and 4 weeks of personalised care including radiofrequency, ultrasound and massage.
Protecting Your Result: Avoid direct pressure on the area early on, keep your weight stable and attend follow-ups at 1 and 3 months.

Implants vs. Fat Grafting

Hip implants use silicone placed through an incision. They give a clear lift and can be sized to the individual, but recovery is longer and pain, swelling and an implant sensation are possible.
Buttock fat grafting uses your own fat, harvested in the right amount and injected precisely. It gives a true-to-life texture that does not change noticeably over time, although the achievable size depends on how much fat can be harvested.

FAQ

Will some of the fat be absorbed?

Some absorption is normal. When purified fat is placed carefully with refined techniques, a good share of it settles and survives, and once established it behaves like your normal body tissue.

How is a BBL different from implant surgery?

Implants add volume immediately, while fat transfer offers a softer, more natural feel and movement, with less risk of an artificial sensation.

How can I maintain my results?

Avoid direct pressure on the buttocks during early recovery, keep your weight stable and follow the clinic aftercare guidance to support long-lasting results.
