What is Skinny BBL? Next Generation Buttock Contouring
The procedure we refer to as BBL is essentially a buttock fat injection procedure. You can read my article on this topic for more details.
What is Skinny BBL?
Fat harvested from the patient's body is injected into the buttock area after undergoing a special process. In other words, there must be a sufficient amount of fat in the person's body for this procedure.
So, what can slim women with low body fat do? This is precisely where the process we call "skinny bbl" comes into play. Since it is one of the surgical procedures I frequently perform in my own practice, I have a preparation process that I structured based on my own experience. I will try to briefly explain to you the next-generation buttock contouring process with skinny BBL step-by-step.
Body Analysis
First of all, a detailed physical examination is required. It is necessary to determine whether there is enough fat in the body or roughly how much fat volume we have available. Afterwards, what is the patient's desired buttock shape and general expectation? Is this expectation realistic, or is it absolutely not possible? Or what kind of contouring might be achievable, etc... In short, after a detailed analysis, a personalized treatment plan should be created by discussing through visual examples. If you are curious about what shapes can be achieved in this regard, you can read my article titled "Buttock Shapes and Types".
Weight Gain Capacity
Deciding on the ability to gain or not gain weight. If we have the opportunity to gain weight, even a weight gain of 3-5 kg positively affects the result. Preparation is made for this until the day of surgery through a period of intense food consumption in the form of an unrestricted diet.
Planning the Targeted Buttock Shape
A personalized contouring plan should be created. The necessary liposuction areas for harvesting fat must be identified. By performing a detailed analysis of the existing buttock shape, the regions that primarily need enlargement should be established. During the surgery, these areas should be enlarged first, and then the remaining fat should be injected into other areas. In this way, the success rate of the surgery becomes higher.
Personalized Post-Operative Considerations
Measures should be taken in the post-operative period to minimize fat loss. In terms of eating and drinking, no diet should be followed; in fact, an eating and drinking routine aimed at gaining weight should be established.
According to my own experience, gaining about 2-3 kg favorably increases the buttock volume.
As you can understand from the process, skinny BBL is a surgical treatment option where eating is encouraged and a planning focused on achieving the best possible result with existing fat is created.
In standard BBL procedures, since there is sufficient—and most of the time excessive—harvestable fat, planning is made together with the patients mainly based on their desired size and shape. Here, while planning, I am in favor of discussing detailed information through many different aspects, from the social interactions that the person's desired buttock shape will create to their choice of clothing. Those who are curious about my approach on this topic can read my article titled "What is the BBL Procedure?".
In the skinny BBL procedure, on the other hand, all harvested fat is utilized, and primary enlargement areas in the buttock region are established for the patient, explaining the rationale to them.
Considering that most of my patients who undergo skinny BBL are EU size 34 or 36 (US size 2-4 / UK size 6-8), you will also find it logical why this approach is necessary.
The Patient Group Requesting Skinny BBL is Usually Extremely Slim
So why do women with slim bodies need a buttock fat injection procedure?
First of all, buttock fullness is also very minimal in slim individuals.
According to my own observation, there are distinct hollows especially on the sides of the buttocks, and these depressions become even more pronounced when wearing leggings or a body-hugging dress.
Furthermore, just like every woman desires, when viewed from the side, these patients want at least some degree of prominence in the buttock area at the waist-to-buttock transition zone.
How Does It Differ from Buttock Implant Surgery?
While buttock implants directly enlarge the back of the buttocks, fat injection allows the side areas of the buttocks to be enlarged as well. When making a choice on this matter, it is beneficial for the physician to correctly guide the patient according to their expectations.
