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

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,
Dr. Miguel Mota

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. Take care, Moises Salama MD, 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!

You can definitely have a quality BBL if you would like. It’s not so much a matter of someone’s BMI or weight that matters but rather how much liposuction are you willing to go through to get a certain fat transfer results. Most people start by harvesting fat from the torso and if that is insufficient for a quality fat transfer then we turn to extremities. in some cases, liposuction of the pharmacy can give Stella results and it’s an excellent source for fat for the purpose of grafting. Inner thighs while it doesn’t always give great liposuction results is also an excellent place to harvest fat. Most likely treating your torso well including your full back, and under armor area should be enough to give a modest bad transfer result , but sometimes we need to include other areas depending on what the patient is hoping to achieve.
Delivering consistent quality, liposuction and fat transfer result is more difficult than most people realize. The number of plastic surgeons who have mastered these procedures are in a small minority. Poorly done, Liposuction can leave people disfigured permanently. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of provider selection, when it comes to both Liposuction and fat transfer procedures. to find the right provider, I suggest having multiple in person consultations, preferably with providers in your local area.
During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of previous patients who had similar body characteristics to your own. An experience plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing you with the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients.
Being shown a handful of pre-selected images, representing the best results of a providers career is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider. For a fat transfer results always confirm at when the after pictures were taken in relationship to the date of surgery. Early fat transfer results can look very impressive but you’re not in any way. Represents final results. After pictures should preferably taken at least six months from the date of surgery. Continue having consultations until you feel very confident you found the right provider for your needs. Considering how much variation there is in Liposuction and fat transfer skills among board-certified plastic surgeons, I suggest having at least five consultations before choosing a provider. You’ll be living with this outcome every day for the rest of your life and bad results do happen in the hands of well intended board-certified plastic surgeons with years of experience , who have overall good reputations.
Understanding your candidacy for the procedure, recognizing what the procedure can, and cannot accomplish, and finding the best provider are the key ingredients to consistent high-quality outcomes.
There isn’t much you can do regarding your candidacy for the procedure, which seems excellent, but what you do have control over his provider selection. Use that power to its absolute fullest, and spent a significant effort finding the right provider.
I don’t personally believe you can do this using your cell phone or computer.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom, MD
