Female, 172cm, 58kg, BMI 19.6 - is skinny BBL possible? (Photos)

Question

Hello! I‘m female, 172cm and weigh about 58kg, my BMI being at 19,6. I was wondering if I would be a good candidate for skinny BBL? Sadly my weight doesn't go to my bum but (lean) PCOS related mainly to my abdominal area. Do you think enough fat can be taken to give me the nice female shape i always dreamed of?

Hello and thank you for posting. Acknowledging that you do not have enough fat for a dramatic result is the first step in handling your expectations. That said, it seems like there is still enough fat for good enough results. There will be a change on your silhouette for sure. This means your waist will be smaller and your hips and but will be a little bit bigger. Gaining a few kg before surgery would help and gaining a few after surgery would help as well. This is because you would eventually gain weight on the places where there is more fat and after the BBL this would actually be your butt!

Best of luck,

From your photos, you are quite slim and the available donor fat appears limited, mainly around the lower abdomen/flanks. A skinny BBL may still be possible, but the goal usually needs to be conservative: waist and flank shaping, subtle hip/upper buttock contour improvement, and modest projection rather than a large volume change.

The key is an in-person exam to assess pinch thickness from the abdomen, flanks, back, and thighs, plus skin quality and your exact goals. I would not recommend unhealthy weight gain just to create donor fat. Choose a plastic surgeon experienced with low-BMI BBLs and modern safety principles, including fat placement above the muscle and avoiding overfilling.

Hi there! Yes, based on your photos, I do think you would be a good candidate for a skinny BBL. This term is typically used for patients who have a smaller amount of fat available for transfer, compared to a traditional BBL. 
While there’s always a chance that we may not have as much fat as we’d ideally like, I do think you appear to have enough to achieve a very nice result. The combination of liposuction and fat transfer can create a beautiful, more feminine shape by enhancing your natural proportions. 
Even with a more limited amount of fat, patients often see excellent improvement from the contouring alone combined with the fat transfer that is available. 
I hope this helps, and best of luck on your journey!

Thanks for your question. Based on your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for the BBL. A BBL requires 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. In addition, if you do not have enough fat in these areas, liposuction can be performed in many other areas of the body for fat transfer to the buttocks, such as the upper arms and chin. That said, you may be asked to gain some weight. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure the surgeon you choose has extensive experience with Skinny BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Based on your photos you'd be a good candidate for a skinny BBL.  I use a technique called skimming where small amounts of fat are used over a wide variety of areas.

"Thank you for sharing your questions and pictures. Based on them, you're on the leaner side, which might limit fat available for a traditional BBL. A ""skinny BBL"" could be an option, but managing expectations is key. Combining surgical and non-surgical methods, like Sculptra, might help achieve your desired shape. It's crucial to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your specific goals. Best wishes!

Thanks for the question. I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour. I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

Dear Caring723523,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

When the fat is extracted from the front and back, this also helps the buttocks to give them greater projection. With your fat we can solve where the buttocks are shaped.
I think you are a candidate for a good result

Dear Caring,
From the photos it appears that you would have a phenomenal result from a "skinny" BBL.  Seek consultation with an American Board of Plastic Surgery board certified plastic surgeon for an in person examination and recommendations.  Good luck!
