Can You Still Get a BBL if You’re Skinny?

A traditional Brazilian butt lift (BBL) involves taking excess fat from elsewhere on your body and injecting it into the buttocks. Many individuals wonder if a BBL is possible if you don’t have a lot of excess fat that can be used for the injection. You’ll be happy to find that the answer is yes, it is possible to receive a BBL if you’re skinny. In fact, there are modified versions of Brazilian butt lifts that are designed specifically for skinny individuals. At Tampa Surgical Arts, we offer two types of BBL procedures for those with lower BMIs: a skinny BBL and a skinny mini BBL.

What is a Skinny BBL?

A skinny Brazilian butt lift involves harvesting fat from less common areas of the body such as the back, trunk, or thighs. By taking small amounts of fat from these areas, your cosmetic surgeon can harvest enough fat to inject it into the buttocks. This procedure helps add volume to the butt and creates a more attractive shape. It’s ideal for individuals with a BMI of less than 25, whereas a traditional BBL is appropriate for those with a BMI of around 25-30.

What is a Skinny Mini BBL?

A skinny mini Brazilian butt lift is a procedure ideal for those with a BMI of less than 21. This procedure uses a small transfer of fat and is primarily focused on creating a more natural look.

Whether you opt for a skinny or skinny mini BBL, you can expect a similar experience and recovery period. Your buttocks will likely be sore for a few weeks immediately following the procedure, and you’ll need to wear a compression garment for a couple months after receiving the injections.

What Abot Butt Implants?

With a traditional, skinny, or skinny mini Brazilian butt lift, the procedure is performed using one or more injections into the buttocks. This is a much less invasive procedure than implants. However, butt implants are another option that individuals can consider. This procedure involves making an incision and creating a pocket in which to insert the implant. This is a more invasive approach, and as a result, you can expect the recovery process to take a little longer.
