What is a Country Club BBL™?
A Country Club BBL™ is a conservative buttock enhancement designed for fit patients who want subtle shape rather than dramatic volume.
- The look:
- A more athletic look, with a refined silhouette that stays balanced and natural.
- The focus:
- Projection and sculpting your natural curves, not width.
- Hip dips:
- Fills hip dips but preserves your muscular shape.
- Who it suits:
- Fit patients with a BMI under 24.
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 & Body Aesthetics, our surgeons Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong and Dr. 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.

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.
Book a Consultation“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.”

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 ultrasound 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 safety by being direct about what is realistic and setting clear expectations from your first visit. Our BBL surgeons are board-certified and follow strict protocols to make your fat transfer 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.
Real-time imaging
One of our core safety standards is ultrasound-guided BBL technology. We use ultrasound to see the cannula depth during the entire fat transfer process, rather than injecting fat “blindly.”
Safe placement
The goal is to keep fat placement in the subcutaneous space, safely above the muscle. We confirm the cannula tip stays within the fatty layer above the gluteal muscle.
Controlled technique
Better visualization allows for a more precise and safer procedure, so your results are as safe as they are beautiful.

Procedures that complement a Country Club BBL™
Your fat transfer already includes liposuction, and some patients add skin tightening, a mommy makeover, arm contouring, or alloClae buttock volume to the plan. Not every combination is right for every body. At your consultation, Dr. Truong or Dr. Lin will recommend whether combining treatments makes sense for your goals, or whether spacing them out would serve you better.
Country Club BBL™ FAQs
Who is a good candidate for a Country Club BBL?
You may be a good candidate for a Country Club BBL if you:
- Are unhappy with your buttocks and desire a conservative, natural-looking, and athletic backside.

- Have been turned down by other surgeons who do not specialize in the BBL procedure.
- Are in good health.
- Have realistic expectations.

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 a Skinny BBL are looking to add just enough volume and projection to the buttocks to achieve a perkier, athletic, youthful, and proportional result. With a Country Club BBL, the shape of the buttocks is often more important than volume, with less widening of the hips.
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.
What is the recovery time for a Country Club BBL?
After a Country Club BBL, most patients can return to work in about seven days, with total activity and recovery occurring around 4 to 6 weeks. Your surgeon will give you specific post-operative instructions.
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, and 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.
How much does a Country Club BBL cost in Chicago?
A Country Club BBL is priced individually after your consultation, because each plan is built around your frame and the precision fat grafting it needs. Additional liposuction areas raise the total, since each one adds operating room and surgeon time. Your quote is all-inclusive: every fee is in the estimate, including anesthesia. Book a consultation to get your exact quote.
Can I finance a Country Club BBL?
Yes. Financing is available through CareCredit, Cherry and Alphaeon for qualified applicants. See financing options for details.
