Q: who is a good candidate for a country club BBL?

You may be a good candidate for a Country Club BBL if you: You are unhappy with your buttocks and desire a conservative, natural-looking, and athletic backside. You have very little fat (BMI of less than 24). You have been turned down by other surgeons who do not specialize in the BBL procedure. You are in good health. You have realistic expectations. For an accurate assessment of what you can achieve, contact us for a consultation .

Q: what is the difference between a country club BBL and a skinny BBL?

A Country Club BBL is very similar to a Skinny BBL and is performed on a patient who has very little fat and a low BMI of 24 or less (BMI calculator here). In general, patients getting Skinny BBL are looking to add just enough volume and projection to the buttocks to achieve a perkier, athletic and youthful, and proportional result. With a Country Club BBL, the shape of the buttocks is often more important than volume and less widening of the hips.

Q: how is a country club BBL performed?

Your surgeon will need to be very skilled at harvesting fat and may employ special techniques to harvest enough fat to achieve a good result. In addition to aggressive liposuction, your surgeon may suggest harvesting fat from additional areas, including the inner thighs, knee area, and arms. Once enough fat is harvested, your surgeon will carefully inject the fat back into the buttocks to add projection and shape and achieve the desired result.

Q: what is the recovery time for a country club BBL?

After Skinny BBL, most patients can return to work in about seven days, with total activity and recovery occurring around 4-6 weeks. Your surgeon will give you specific post-operative instructions .

Q: when will i see my results? will the fat last?

As long as the fat is healthy and you follow your post-operative instructions you can expect to see your results immediately with the final result can take up to 6 months. It's very important to avoid sitting directly on or putting pressure on the newly transferred fat for a minimum of 4 weeks in order to maximize fat take and maximize your results.

A Country Club BBL™ is a conservative fat transfer procedure created by Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong to provide natural-looking buttock enhancement. Designed for fit patients with a BMI under 24, it focuses on adding posterior projection and athletic sculpting rather than extreme hip width. The goal is a balanced, proportional result that accentuates your existing frame.

What is a Country Club BBL™?

Country Club Bbl Lipo 360 Before And After Photo Side By Side Chicago Breast And Body

A Country Club BBL™ is a conservative buttock enhancement designed for fit patients who want subtle shape rather than dramatic volume.

Unlike a traditional "Kim K." style, we focus on adding just enough projection and sculpting your natural curves. You will see a refined, athletic silhouette that looks balanced and entirely natural.

At Chicago Breast and Body, our surgeons Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong and Dr. Pey-Yi Kevin Lin are natural-results focused. We believe your enhancement should be proportional and never look overdone. We prioritize your safety and will be direct about what is realistic for your specific body type. You can expect a result that accentuates your existing frame while maintaining a soft, believable look.

"He (Dr. Truong) has coined the phrase "country club BBL" - which is exactly what I wanted - a natural, athletic shaped butt that looked proportionate and accentuated my curves but kept me looking lean."

Why Dr. Truong Created the Country Club BBL?

Dr. Truong noticed a shift in what patients truly wanted: a look that suggested they spent time at the gym rather than in a surgery suite.

He developed this signature look to provide a natural result that looks like you have worked out. It is designed for those who prefer an understated, fit aesthetic over the exaggerated curves often seen on social media.

How is a country club bbl performed?

We follow a process similar to a Skinny BBL, where we gently remove fat (lipo 360) from areas like your abdomen, back, flanks, arms, or inner thighs.

Strategic Harvesting: Dr. Truong or Dr. Lin expertly harvests fat from targeted areas to "snatch" the waist.
Precision Fat-Grafting: The fat is carefully injected back into the buttocks to add projection and shape. Our surgeons use real-time ultra-sound imaging technology during the injection.
Athletic Sculpting: We focus on the posterior curve rather than widening the hips to maintain an athletic frame.

Why more fat is not always better

Dr. Truong and Dr. Lin recommend precision over quantity to ensure your results stay balanced and never look overdone. While it is tempting to think more fat leads to a better result, an athletic shape requires a conservative touch.

If we add too much volume, you may lose that firm appearance that Dr. Truong designed this procedure to achieve. We look at your existing frame to determine the exact amount of fat needed to enhance your curves without creating an artificial look.

Is a country club bbl safe?

We prioritize your bbl safety by being direct about what is realistic and setting clear expectations from your first visit . You will feel guided through every step because we explain the "why" behind our recommendations.

Our BBL surgeons are board-certified and follow strict protocols to ensure your fat transfer is as safe as possible. Dr. Truong or Dr. Lin will not perform a procedure if we believe it will compromise your health or your aesthetic.

One of our core safety standards is the use of Ultrasound-Guided BBL technology. Rather than injecting fat "blindly," we use real-time imaging to see exactly where the fat is being placed. This allows us to confirm that the cannula tip stays within the safe, fatty layer above the gluteal muscle. This precision supports a more controlled technique and ensures your results are as safe as they are beautiful.

"Dr. Truong and his team was so amazing. I’m so happy I picked him to be my surgeon. They made me feel so comfortable from the very beginning until the end. Lauren and Monika was great with answering any questions or concerns I had, no matter the time of day they responded right away. I trusted my surgeon (Dr.T) and he didn’t let me down. Thanks to him I now have the confidence that I was missing. I love my results and couldn’t be more happier. Thanks Dr.T!!!"
