Brazilian butt lift in Gangnam, Seoul: shape from your own fat, done safely.

A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) moves fat from areas like the waist and flanks to the buttocks and hips. The waist gets slimmer and the hip line fuller. At 365mc, the closest program is HERPAGORI: waist liposuction plus hip fat grafting in one session.

The basics

How a BBL works

Two steps: remove fat where you don’t want it, add it where you do.

Fat is first removed by liposuction, usually from the abdomen, flanks or back. It is then purified and injected in small amounts to reshape the buttocks and hips. Because only part of the grafted fat survives long term, results are judged once swelling settles over the following months.

A good candidate has enough donor fat, stable weight and realistic expectations about volume. Very slim patients may not have enough fat to transfer.

Safety first

Where the fat goes matters

Ask any provider which layer they inject into.

International plastic surgery societies advise that fat for buttock augmentation should be placed only in the subcutaneous layer, never into or under the gluteal muscle, because deep injection has been linked to rare but serious fat embolism.

Choose a hospital-grade facility with anesthesia monitoring, and ask how much fat will be transferred, which layer it goes into, and what aftercare is included.

  • Subcutaneous placement only
  • Hospital-grade facility and anesthesia monitoring
  • Realistic volume per session
  • Clear aftercare and follow-up plan

HERPAGORI: slim waist, fuller hip line

365mc’s HERPAGORI program combines waist liposuction (upper belly, lower belly, love handles) with hip fat grafting in one session. 365mc describes it as designing a 360° waistline and back view with custom line sculpting, then adding volume to create a fuller pelvic line.

It is planned around your body type. Your surgeon decides whether you have enough suitable fat and where it should go.
