Brazilian Buttock Lift
What Is a Brazilian Buttock Lift?
Did you know that Brazilian Buttock Lift (BBL) surgery has become one of the most sought-after body contouring procedures in Los Angeles? This procedure enhances the shape, volume, and lift of the buttocks using your own fat for a natural, curvaceous appearance.
A Brazilian Buttock Lift, also called fat transfer to the buttocks, involves liposuction of unwanted fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, which is then purified and strategically injected into the buttocks.
At CK Plastic Surgery in Koreatown, Los Angeles, Dr. K. Charles Kim, M.D., F.A.C.S., combines surgical precision with artistic vision to sculpt naturally rounded, lifted buttocks while harmonizing the overall body contour.
