Is A BBL The Right Treatment For You?

A Brazilian Butt Lift uses liposuction to remove fat from areas like your waist or abdomen, then carefully transfers that fat to your backside to improve shape, volume, and balance. Our 2-step approach enhances your curves while refining other areas in the same procedure.

Why Patients Choose Lumen

I had a great experience from beginning to end at the Lumen Center. Everyone there is super friendly and professional. My procedure went as it was explained in my consultation and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend you choose Lumen!

M.M.

The Lumen Center is honestly something special. I’ve been to a number of places and people were nice, but there’s something extra here they’re genuinely loving. I came in just for a consultation and ended up deciding to get a few light things done for now.

What To Expect Before, During & After Your BBL

Your consultation

You’ll meet with Dr. Kwak to talk through your goals, review the areas where fat will be taken and transferred, and map out a BBL plan that fits your body and vision.

During your BBL

Dr. Kwak performs your Brazilian Butt Lift using minimally invasive fat transfer and local anesthesia, keeping you comfortable and aware throughout the procedure. The two-step process (fat removal followed by precise fat placement) typically takes about two hours, depending on your treatment plan.

Recovery

After a short rest in our office, you’ll head home the same day with aftercare instructions and ongoing support. Recovery from a BBL is typically shorter than you may expect: most patients take just 3–4 days off from work.

Here's what you can expect as you recover:

First 1–2 weeks

You’ll avoid sitting directly on your buttocks to protect the transferred fat, using a BBL pillow when needed. Swelling and soreness are normal, and you’ll wear a compression garment over the areas where fat was removed.

Weeks 2–4

You can gradually increase activity while limiting direct pressure on your buttocks. Your shape begins to settle, and bruising continues to fade.

After one month

Sitting gets more comfortable, swelling continues to improve, and your new curves look more defined.

3–4 months

Your final results take shape as the transferred fat stabilizes, revealing smoother proportions.

How Much Does A BBL Cost?

Your Brazilian Butt Lift cost is based on your body, your goals, and the extent of contouring you need. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear quote, so you know exactly what to expect before moving forward.

Your BBL price may be influenced by:

Local anesthesia fees
The amount of fat transfer needed to achieve your desired shape and projection
The areas where fat is removed, such as the abdomen, waist, or lower back
Compression garments used to support healing
Post-procedure visits, where Dr. Kwak checks your progress over time

We also offer several flexible financing options to make your BBL more affordable, so cost doesn’t stand in the way of your dream body:

Our Most Common Patient Questions

How long is the recovery after a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Most patients take about 3–4 days off from work and gradually increase activity over the next few weeks. You’ll need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks early on and use a BBL pillow to protect your results.

When will I see my final BBL results?

You’ll notice changes immediately, and your shape will continue to improve as swelling subsides. Final results typically take shape around 3–4 months once the transferred fat has settled.

Is a BBL safe?

Yes, when performed by a fat transfer specialist like Dr. Kwak, a BBL is a safe and effective body contouring procedure.

Do I have enough fat for a BBL?

During your consultation, Dr. Kwak will evaluate your abdomen, waist, or back to determine if you’re a good candidate for fat transfer.

Are BBL results permanent?

As long as you maintain a stable weight, your BBL results are long-lasting.
