What Is a Skinny BBL?
A Skinny BBL is a customized Brazilian Butt Lift designed specifically for individuals with low body fat who want a subtle and natural enhancement rather than dramatic volume. Through targeted liposuction from multiple areas, such as the abdomen or thighs, even lean individuals often have enough harvestable fat to achieve pleasing and proportionate results.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Individuals with BMI below 24-25 who have stable weight and good skin elasticity, yet want a modest lift and a smoother hip to waist ratio.
- Patients who don't want or need large volume and instead seek a more refined, athletic contour.
- Those with hip dips or areas that could benefit from gentle fat redistribution. Even smaller transfers in these spots often make a noticeable difference.
- Candidates with realistic expectations, understanding that results are subtle and tailored to their frame, not oversized or exaggerated.
How Is a Skinny BBL Performed?
1. Fat Harvesting
Liposuction is performed with precision, often using ultrasonic-assisited techniques and small cannulas to extract fat gently from multiple areas to maximize yield from lean tissue.
2. Fat Processing
Harvested fat is purified carefully to preserve viable fat cells, typically using closed-system techniques to minimize contamination and promote graft survival.
3. Micro-Injection Transfer
Fat is injected strategically into the buttocks and hips using micro-droplet techniques, focusing on upper/outer cheek projction and filling hip depressions for a balanced, hourglass shape.
Expected Results & Recovery
Patients can expect a modest, elegant enhancement that complements a slim frame rather than overwhelming it, often improving hip dips and creating graceful projection. There may be mild discomfort and swelling for 1-3 weeks, followed by a gradual return to light activity within that timeframe. It is best that patients avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for the first 2-3 weeks. The final shape and fat survival become apparent around 3-6 months post-op as swelling subsides and fat tissue settles.
