About Skinny BBL

A skinny BBL has goals similar to those of a traditional BBL, however, it is designed to help patients with a smaller amount of excess body fat achieve beautiful results. Dr. Everett can enhance the buttocks with a modified fat transfer and/or injectable fat for natural-looking volume. If you would like to increase the volume of the buttocks with a fat transfer, he can perform liposuction to remove small amounts of excess fat from specific areas of the body. Skinny patients typically need to remove fat from more than one area to harvest enough fat for the procedure. During a skinny BBL, Dr. Everett typically removes excess fat from the:

  • Abdomen
  • Arms
  • Legs
  • Back

Dr. Everett takes special precautions to remove the fat with gentle techniques that preserve the surrounding tissue and reduce the risk of complications for natural-looking results. (1)

AlloClae™ for Buttock Enhancement

If you are considering a skinny BBL but you do not have enough excess body fat to achieve your desired look, Dr. Everett can enhance your figure with AlloClae™–an injectable form of processed, sterilized donor fat. This unique treatment is suitable for high-volume areas. During an AlloClae™ treatment, Dr. Everett will administer local anesthesia and inject the fat into the buttocks for beautiful, natural-looking volume. Dr. Everett can also complement a fat transfer with AlloClae™ to augment your natural skinny BBL with a little help from this innovative technology to help you achieve your desired volume increase.

Skinny BBL vs. Butt Lift

While a traditional butt lift removes excess skin from the buttocks to reduce the skin envlope and make the buttocks fuller for a lifted appearance, a skinny BBL increases the volume of the buttocks by grafting fat harvested from other areas of the body to fill the skin envelope for a curvier physique. A skinny BBL is one of the most effective treatments for enhancing your natural curves. Don’t worry if you do not have enough donor fat, and you can enjoy long-lasting results with AlloClae to increase the volume of fat grafting obtained during the liposuction phase. During your consultation, Dr. Everett will ask about your aesthetic goals to create a personalized treatment plan for your specific needs.

Benefits

There are several benefits of a skinny BBL, including:

  • Balanced proportions: Increasing the size of the buttocks can balance your proportions for a curvier appearance and natural-looking results.
  • Improved self-confidence: You can improve your self-confidence by enhancing your appearance.
  • Balanced hip-to-waist ratio: A BBL can accentuate your natural curves and address asymmetry for a more balanced figure.
  • Customizable treatment: We can adjust your treatment to help you achieve your specific aesthetic goals.
  • Lasting results: You can enjoy long-lasting results if you take good care of your body.

Candidates & Consultation

Suitable candidates for a skinny BBL are thinner patients who would like to increase the volume of their buttocks for natural-looking results. If you do not have enough excess body fat to achieve your desired look, Dr. Everett can combine a fat transfer with AlloClae™ or perform AlloClae™ as a stand-alone treatment to enhance your appearance.

During your consultation, we will discuss your medical history, medications, and aesthetic goals to determine the most effective treatment plan for your needs. We can also discuss additional procedures that we can include in your treatment plan to help you achieve your desired look.

Preparation

To prepare for a skinny BBL, you should schedule 1-2 weeks off work and arrange for someone you trust to drive you home after your procedure. We recommend asking someone to care for you for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure. You should stop smoking temporarily for at least 6 weeks. If you take medications and/or supplements that thin the blood, Dr. Everett may recommend that you adjust your medication regimen. Dr. Everett will provide specific instructions to help prepare for your procedure.

Treatment Process

During a skinny BBL treatment, we will cleanse your skin and administer anesthesia. The treatment process will vary, depending on whether you receive a fat transfer, AlloClae™, or a combination of both treatments.

Skinny BBL with Fat Transfer

During a fat transfer, Dr. Everett will remove excess fat from your body with liposuction, taking special precautions with skinny patients to limit the risk of contour deformities from superficial liposuction. This requires him to target more areas than just the abdomen, flanks, and back. Dr. Everett refers to this process as a “scavenger hunt,” as he harvests fat from the arms, legs, and other areas as well. He will then use the purest fat cells to enhance the buttocks and provide natural-looking volume. Dr. Everett can enhance these results with AlloClae™ injection.

Skinny BBL with AlloClae™

During an AlloClae™ treatment, Dr. Everett will inject the ready-to-use fat cells into the buttocks for beautiful volume. The injection will also increase the natural proteins, collagen, and growth factors in the treatment area. Over the next few weeks, the injected fat will conform to your body’s natural tissue. The amount of AlloClae™ Dr. Everett injects will depend on your aesthetic goals and whether you receive a fat transfer in addition to AlloClae™ to enhance your buttocks and hips.

Recovery

After your treatment, your recovery instructions will depend on the type of skinny BBL you receive.

Skinny BBL with Fat Transfer

After a skinny BBL with a fat transfer, you will need 1-2 weeks of downtime, depending on the amount of fat Dr. Everett removes with liposuction. You may experience some mild swelling in the treatment area. As the swelling subsides and the fat settles, you can enjoy beautiful, natural-looking results.

AlloClae™

If you receive AlloClae™ as a stand-alone treatment, you can return to your normal routine soon afterward since the injectable is minimally invasive and doesn’t require harvest from other parts of your body. Over the next couple of weeks, the product will settle into its new home and provide a matrix for continued growth to provide a fuller, plumper appearance.

Results

After a skinny BBL, you can enjoy fuller, rounder buttocks. The results are long-lasting if you take care of your body. Many patients find that their self-esteem improves and they feel more comfortable in form-fitting clothing. According to a recent study, 86% of BBL patients were satisfied with the outcome of their procedure, (2) and the demand for this category of procedure continues to increase. (3)

Additional Body Contouring Treatments

Tummy Tuck

Many patients choose to combine a skinny BBL with a tummy tuck, a popular procedure that removes excess skin from the abdomen for a smoother appearance. During a tummy tuck, Dr. Everett tightens the abdominal skin and removes excess tissue to enhance your figure. If you choose to remove excess fat with liposuction, Dr. Everett can use the fat he removes to increase the volume of your buttocks during a single appointment.

Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover addresses changes to your figure from pregnancy. Changes to the buttocks can impact your self-esteem and clothing options. If you choose to receive a skinny BBL with a mommy makeover, we can use the excess fat that we remove from the body during a mommy makeover to enhance the buttocks.

Breast Enhancement

A fat transfer is also a common solution for breast enhancement, and some patients also receive AlloClae™ to improve the appearance of the breasts. During your procedure, Dr. Everett can use the excess fat that he removes from the body for breast enhancement. Some patients choose to receive breast implants with AlloClae™ and/or a fat transfer, depending on the look they would like to achieve. To learn more about breast enhancement, see our guide!

I don’t have enough fat, can I use someone else’s?

While your body can’t naturally accept fat from another person, a groundbreaking innovation called AlloClae™ is changing the game. AlloClae™ is a ready-to-use structural fat filler derived from carefully processed, donated cadaveric adipose tissue. Unlike traditional methods, there’s no need for fat harvesting surgery. With local anesthesia, this medical-grade fat matrix can be used to instantly restore volume and encourage your own fat to regenerate.
