Skinny BBL
Offered at our convenient location in Denver, CO
A Skinny BBL is an advanced body contouring procedure for enhancing the shape and fullness of the buttocks for patients with limited excess body fat. (1) Like the standard Brazilian Butt Lift, this technique utilizes liposuction to extract fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs, which is then carefully purified and reinjected into the buttocks. However, the Skinny BBL is designed for thinner, leaner patients, allowing them to achieve impressive yet proportional buttocks enhancement by harvesting fat from multiple areas around the body.
At Advanced Body Sculpting Institute in Denver, Colorado, our surgeons specialize in liposuction and precise BBL methods. Whatever your goals may be, we are confident we can help you achieve them through attentive, personalized, and expert care.

About the Skinny BBL
The Skinny BBL is a cutting-edge approach that merges aesthetic artistry with surgical skills. It focuses on sculpting both the buttocks and other areas of the body, achieving beautiful curves while maintaining a natural-looking result. Through liposuction, fat can be removed from different areas such as the flanks, abdomen, back, inner thighs, and even knees. The removed fat is then strategically reinjected into the buttocks to improve shape, projection, and fullness, tailored to the unique anatomy and preferences of each patient. (2)
According to recent statistics, the demand for buttock augmentation procedures has surged. (3) This advanced technique is becoming increasingly popular among thinner individuals who want to achieve a more shapely, hourglass figure. The Skinny BBL allows patients with less body fat to achieve their goals by harvesting fat from multiple sites and sculpting a proportionate, accentuated butt.
Choosing the Skinny BBL offers a remarkable solution to those looking to add subtle volume to their buttocks and create a harmonious silhouette. The procedure enables patients not only to reshape their buttocks but also to feel empowered by their transformation. For many, this results in higher self-esteem and boosted confidence. (3)
Benefits
A Skinny BBL can improve a patient’s quality of life by enhancing their appearance to their ideal body goals. Under the expertise of the surgeons at the Advanced Body Sculpting Institute, our patients see advantages like:
- Natural-looking results: Since the process uses your own body fat, results appear more seamless and natural compared to synthetic materials.
- Body contouring: With liposuction, we can effectively sculpt areas surrounding the buttocks, allowing for an overall improved silhouette.
- Minimally invasive procedures: Compared to traditional surgeries, a Skinny BBL typically involves smaller incisions, resulting in less visible scarring and quicker recovery.
Candidates
Candidates for a Skinny BBL include individuals who are at or near their ideal weight but desire improved body contours. Prospective patients should be generally healthy without significant underlying medical conditions that could interfere with the procedure. The Skinny BBL is usually best for patients who desire more subtle contours, have a smaller frame, or have less fat available for a transfer. (2) Patients should be seeking natural-looking results, have realistic expectations of the outcome, and be willing to follow the preparatory and recovery instructions provided to them. All prospective patients will meet with an Advanced Body Sculpting Institute patient coordinator to further determine their candidacy.
Personal Consultation
Your journey begins with a personal consultation at the Advanced Body Sculpting Institute. During this meeting, a patient coordinator will review your medical history, assess your body type, and listen to your desires regarding shape and proportion. Understanding your motivations will aid in developing a surgical plan beneficial to you.
Your patient coordinator may perform a physical examination to gauge skin quality and elasticity and fat distribution, which are essential factors in achieving optimal results. Together, you will discuss treatment options, expected outcomes, potential risks, and recovery strategies to ensure a comfortable experience throughout the process.

Preparation
Once you decide to move forward with a Skinny BBL procedure, following the preparation instructions is crucial for creating a smooth experience. You may be asked to:
- Schedule a full medical evaluation to identify any health concerns.
- Discontinue blood-thinning medications and supplements as directed.
- Quit smoking for several weeks before treatment and throughout the recovery period to facilitate healing (if applicable).
- Prepare your support system for post-surgery assistance, including arranging for a ride home and assistance.
- Plan time off work and social engagements to allow proper recovery and adjustment.
Procedure
The Skinny BBL procedure will begin with anesthesia administration. The Skinny BBL is performed with a patient receiving local anesthesia. The first phase of this procedure is fat harvesting, which is performed through liposuction. Small incisions will be made on the areas where fat is being harvested, and then your surgeon will inject a tumescent fluid to swell fat cells, numb tissues, and constrict blood vessels. They will then insert a liposuction cannula and remove fat. This fat is then processed and strategically reinjected into your buttocks. This is done in a few key locations throughout the buttocks area to create a subtle hourglass figure. The entire procedure usually lasts around two to three hours, though this can vary depending on the scale of the procedure, patient goals, and unique medical history.
Recovery
Because Skinny BBLs feature both a harvest and placement phase, patients must remember that they will be healing in multiple locations, not just one. We advise patients to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for the first few weeks. Avoiding strenuous activities or exercise is also necessary until your surgeon approves. Please attend any follow-up appointments scheduled by your patient coordinator to allow us to monitor your recovery.
Results
Patients begin to see results from their Skinny BBL approximately three weeks post-operation. The full results of the Skinny BBL will manifest after three to six months. It is normal for a certain amount of fat reabsorption to recur before the final results are apparent. Swelling will subside gradually, revealing beautifully sculpted buttocks. Patients can enjoy enhanced contours, along with improved body proportions, providing an uplifting boost to confidence levels. By adhering to postoperative guidelines provided by their surgeon and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, patients can expect long-lasting results from their Skinny BBL.
Corresponding Procedures
Liposuction: Our practice specializes in liposuction, and we offer these procedures for all parts of the body, including the thighs, arms, calves and ankles, the abdomen, and more
Tummy Tuck: If fat is harvested from the abdomen, many patients will include a tummy tuck in their treatment plan. After a tummy tuck, patients are left with a smooth, toned abdomen that can complement an accentuated BBL figure.
Mommy Makeover: Many patients will include these procedures and more in a comprehensive mommy makeover to address multiple body changes that occur during pregnancy.

FAQ
What is the difference between a Skinny BBL and a Standard or Traditional BBL?
A Skinny BBL focuses on delivering subtle enhancements suited for leaner individuals, aiming for a balanced and elegant figure. Because these patients do not have large areas of excess fat, it takes a skilled surgeon to be able to harvest fat from several different areas around the body.
Is a Skinny BBL safe?
When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, the Skinny BBL is considered a safe procedure. Ensure you understand the procedure and possible risks by discussing them with your surgeon or patient coordinator.
Can I sit normally during my Skinny BBL recovery?
It is advised to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least two weeks. Instead, try to lie on your stomach or side during recovery.
Will I need to avoid exercise during my Skinny BBL recovery?
Strenuous physical activity should be avoided for at least six weeks following surgery, or until your surgeon approves. Light walking, however, is encouraged to promote circulation.
