What Is a Skinny BBL?
A Skinny BBL (Brazilian butt lift) is a procedure done to define the shape of the buttocks for patients who have a lean, or “skinny,” body type. Since patients with a lean body type have less body fat, buttock enhancement is subtler and more natural-looking.
The fat harvesting in a Skinny BBL procedure comes from liposuction in multiple areas. The areas to be harvested for fat grafting will be assessed and discussed during the consultation.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Skinny BBL?
Candidates for a Skinny BBL have a lean body type and are interested in augmentation the volume of their rear end. The best candidates are healthy individuals without any underlying conditions that affect the healing process.
Before considering a Skinny BBL, patients will need to avoid smoking and drinking alcohol before their procedure to prevent complications. They may also need to stop taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Consult with your doctor to discuss alternatives.
Your Skinny BBL Consultation
During the consultation, Dr. Pakeman will ask you about your appearance goals and your complete medical history. You may need to take lab tests to confirm your eligibility for the procedure.
Once you are eligible for a Skinny BBL, the process will be discussed in detail. Feel free to ask questions about preparation, surgical techniques, and possible results to help you set realistic expectations. Before the consultation ends, Dr. Pakeman will provide special instructions to help you prepare for the procedure.
The Procedure
A Skinny BBL procedure will begin with administering anesthesia. Once the anesthesia takes effect, Dr. Pakeman will begin creating very tiny incisions in the selected areas for liposuction.
After the fatty tissue is removed, it will then be prepared for buttocks enhancement. Finally, Dr. Pakeman will transfer the fat cells into the buttocks using precise injections to sculpt and lift.
The Recovery Process
The initial recovery period after a Skinny BBL is one week. During the first week, you will need to take time off work and restrict your movement. Have someone else drive you on the day of the procedure and accompany you during the first 24 hours.
A special pillow will be recommended to assist you when sitting. Please arrange enough pillows for support in your sleep area to help you sleep in the correct position.
You will need to avoid strenuous activities like heavy lifting, running, and sports during the recovery process. You can resume these activities after around six weeks.
