Brazilian butt lift in Seoul, Korea
Brazilian butt lift (hip-up) in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: liposuction and body fat grafting to lift and round the hips using your own fat.
Typical ranges for brazilian butt lift; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is a Brazilian butt lift?
A Brazilian butt lift (BBL), known in Korea as hip-up surgery, reshapes the buttocks by transferring your own fat, taken by liposuction from areas such as the waist and thighs. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, hip-up and body fat grafting are performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon.
The procedure contours two areas at once: liposuction slims the waist and flanks, and the purified fat adds projection and roundness to the hips. For safety, fat is placed in the layer beneath the skin and above the muscle. Part of the fat is absorbed in the first months, so the achievable increase is moderate and depends on how much donor fat you have.
Who is a Brazilian butt lift for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Flat or square buttocks that lack projection
- Hip dips or an undefined waist-to-hip line
- Enough donor fat on the abdomen, flanks or thighs
- People who prefer their own tissue to implants
How a Brazilian butt lift is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon assesses your waist, hip shape and donor fat, marks the areas for liposuction and grafting, and explains the volume that can be transferred safely.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Liposuction and fat grafting Fat is removed from the waist, flanks or thighs, purified, and injected in fine layers into the subcutaneous tissue of the buttocks and hip dips.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
Direct pressure on the buttocks is avoided for about two weeks, including sitting and lying on your back, to protect the grafted fat. A compression garment is worn over the liposuction areas.
- Regenerative laser and radiofrequency care in weeks 3–4
- Unlimited scar care

Frequently asked questions
How long do Brazilian butt lift results last?
Fat that survives the first three months or so is long lasting. Some absorption is expected, and results change with significant weight gain or loss.
Is a Brazilian butt lift safe?
All surgery carries risk. Risk is reduced by placing fat above the muscle rather than into it, limiting volume, and having a board-certified anesthesiologist monitor you throughout.
What if I do not have enough fat?
If donor fat is limited, the achievable change is smaller. Your surgeon explains what is realistic at consultation.
