Skinny BBL Denver Liposuction Specialty Clinic

A skinny Brazilian Butt Lift, or skinny BBL, is a procedure that enhances the shape and volume of your buttocks. This procedure is a variation of the traditional BBL, which uses liposuction to take fat from other parts of the body and transfer it to the butt. What makes the skinny BBL unique is that it allows individuals with less body fat to achieve a curvier, yet natural-looking figure. With a focus on subtle enhancement, meticulous fat extraction, and balanced proportions, the skinny BBL can elevate your appearance in a way that complements your body’s natural frame.

The team at Denver Liposuction Specialty Clinic has established itself as one of Denver’s leading aesthetic practices. Our team of expert surgeons and trained specialists offers innovative, tailored solutions to help you achieve the figure you have always desired—even if you do not have a lot of excess body fat for a fat transfer.

About Skinny BBLs

A skinny BBL is an advanced body-contouring procedure that helps augment the appearance and fullness of your buttocks by redistributing fat from other parts of your body. This procedure uses a process called autologous fat transfer, which involves taking your own fat from one area of your body and then reinjecting it into the buttocks to reach your desired fullness. Because the fat used is from your own body, the risk of allergic reactions or immune system responses is minimized, and the results look and feel more natural. (1) This process also leaves other areas of the body more toned, with many patients choosing to remove fat from areas such as their abdomen, thighs, and flanks. We tailor each of our skinny BBL procedures to you and your goals, ensuring that you end up with the silhouette that you desire.

Benefits

The skinny BBL offers several benefits, including:

  • Enhanced Figure: A skinny BBL can help redefine the sculpt and fullness of the buttocks, helping you achieve elegant curves.
  • Natural-Looking Results: Because the fat used comes from your own body, the results will look and feel more natural, integrating seamlessly with your unique figure.
  • Concealable Scars: Our surgeons place small incisions in discreet areas to help minimize any potential scar visibility post-treatment.
  • Improved Self-Confidence: After seeing the results of their procedure, many patients report a heightened sense of confidence and improved self-esteem.
  • Customized Results: Each procedure plan is designed around your goals and natural figure, ensuring results that align with your ideal aesthetic.

Candidates

The skinny BBL is intended for those who have less available body fat but still desire to enhance the shape and fullness of their buttocks. Many of these patients may have attempted to achieve their desired look through targeted exercise without seeing the results they want. Candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about what they can accomplish. Each individual’s candidacy will be determined during their consultation.

Ideal candidates may include individuals who:

  • Maintain a stable, healthy weight and are not significantly underweight
  • Are committed to maintaining results with a healthy lifestyle post-procedure
  • Have good skin elasticity
  • Are non-smokers or are willing to stop smoking before and after surgery
  • Are seeking natural-looking enhancement rather than dramatic volume increase

Personal Consultation

Each skinny BBL begins with an in-office consultation with one of our patient coordinators. They will explain what the skinny BBL procedure entails, as well as discuss your medical history, concerns, and treatment goals. We will perform a medical examination to evaluate the treatment area and identify potential donor areas to harvest fat.

The details shared during the consultation will be used to determine your candidacy for the procedure and to develop your tailored procedure plan. Throughout the consultation, our patient coordinators will also answer any questions you may have.

Preparation

You will receive a set of preparation instructions to help you prepare for your skinny BBL. These are tailored to your procedure plan and designed to facilitate a smooth recovery and safe procedure.

You may be asked to discontinue medications and supplements that could thin your blood. Alcohol consumption should be avoided several days before the procedure, and nicotine should be fully ceased several weeks beforehand and throughout your recovery. You will need to arrange transportation home from your procedure, as well as take time away from your responsibilities to focus on your recovery. It is also advisable to pick up any medications in advance and arrange for at-home care.

Procedure

At our practice, we perform our procedures with local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia to help you recover faster and avoid certain negative side effects.

Because the skinny BBL is specialized for leaner patients, multiple donor sites will be used to harvest sufficient fat. (2)

For fat transfer procedures, we use the Wells Johnson High Volume Precision (HVP™) Auto-Graft System. This advanced system allows the fat to stay completely contained throughout the process. (3) Using precise techniques, your surgeon will sculpt your buttocks to the optimal shape and fullness. After this process is complete, your surgeon will close your incisions.

Recovery

During recovery, it is normal to experience temporary bruising or swelling. These effects typically dissipate on their own, but may also be managed using pain medications or a cold compress. You will need to avoid sitting or putting direct pressure on your buttocks for one to two weeks and use specialized cushions and pillows.

FAQ

Is it safe to undergo a skinny BBL?

When performed by an experienced professional, the skinny BBL is a safe procedure to undergo. We ensure that each patient is eligible for the procedure and provide tailored preparation and recovery instructions to enhance the safety of the procedure. With modern technology and advancements, BBL procedures are now safer than they have ever been.

What is the recovery time after a skinny BBL?

Each individual’s recovery timeline can vary, but most individuals can return to light activities after one to two weeks, and more strenuous and physical activities after approximately six weeks. You should wait to receive approval from your surgeon before proceeding with any strenuous activities.

How long will the results of my skinny BBL last?

The results of your skinny BBL are designed to be long-lasting, but you will prioritize healthy lifestyle habits, as fluctuations in weight can alter your results.

How much fat can be transferred during my skinny BBL?

The amount of fat transferred will vary between patients. Typically, between 200cc and 1000cc of fat per buttock may be transferred. However, thinner patients generally have less available fat, so the total volume may be on the lower end of that range.

Will I be able to sit normally after the skinny BBL?

It is advised to refrain from putting any pressure on the buttocks for several weeks; however, special cushions or pillows may be used when sitting. Your surgical team will show you how to sit and rest comfortably during your recovery without putting too much pressure on the treated areas.

Are there any risks involved with a skinny BBL?

While a skinny BBL is generally considered safe when performed by an experienced surgeon like those at our clinic, all surgical procedures come with their own set of risks and associated complications. During your pre-op visit, each risk will be discussed with you to ensure you are well-informed about what a skinny BBL entails.

How long will it take to perform my skinny BBL?

A skinny BBL can take anywhere from two to four hours to perform, depending on the amount of fat being transferred. Because a skinny BBL will require your surgeon to take fat from several different areas around the body, they typically take longer than traditional BBLs.

Can a skinny BBL be combined with another cosmetic procedure?

Yes, many patients choose to combine their skinny BBL with another procedure. We recommend scheduling a consultation to learn more about the other procedures you qualify for.
