Skinny Brazilian Butt Lift in New York
Rather than use implants or injectables, a BBL takes existing fat out of undesirable locations of your body and transplants it directly into the buttocks to create a curvier, sexier you. If you’re looking to build up your booty but don’t have a lot of excess fat in one particular area of your body, a Skinny BBL may be an option for you. This procedure uses the traditional fat grafting techniques of a standard BBL, but utilizes fat from four or more parts of the body compared to just two or three when taking the standard BBL route. The results are a curvier booty while slimming down other parts of the body.
To begin the process, your provider will consult and mark the best places to remove fat from your body. Common areas for fat grafting can be the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, back, and chin. BeautyFix will work with you to devise a plan that will extract enough fat to give substantial results while keeping your other body parts in proportion. Then, your surgeon will make small incisions along the markings, inserting a cannula and suctioning out fat. This process continues until the surgeon has gone all around the designated areas and has gathered sufficient fat to be reinjected in a fat transfer for contoured results. These fat cells are then purified as the patient is placed either laying down or on their side. Finally, the fat transfer begins. Your surgeon will make small incisions and insert another cannula which pumps the fat cells directly into the booty. All openings are sutured closed with a few dissolvable stitches.

This combination procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia for the comfort and safety of the patient. Overall, the procedure usually lasts about 2 hours. Typically, you will be placed into a supportive garment after the surgery. This will help to compress swelling and make sure everything heals properly. You will wear this for around 2-3 weeks. There may be some pain at the injection and incision sites for a couple of weeks after the fat transfer. Bruising and pain can last for 2 weeks or more. Your doctor will instruct you not to put direct pressure on the area for at least a month. You might not notice the result of your BBL surgery right away. Results are visible immediately but it can take up to 6 months for the fat graft to completely settle and blend in with your body, so patience is key.

What Liposuction can Do for You
Using liposuction to transfer fat from at least four parts of the body, the surgeon then cleans the fat and transplants it into the buttocks to create the patient's desired result of a curvier, fuller booty. This procedure has the benefits of a larger booty while also slimming down other areas of the body that contain unwanted fat deposits.
Once the fat cells are transferred into your booty, they will start to grow their own blood supply. It's estimated that 20-30% of the fat cells will not be able to grow a blood supply and will be expelled at no harm to you. The cells that survive will remain forever, making the surgery permanent as long as you maintain your weight. Metabolism can also affect the results of this procedure.

What It Treats
Skinny BBLs are used to produce a curvier appearance for someone that does not have enough fat in two or three parts of the body to successfully perform a standard BBL. A patient that is underweight may need to gain some weight in order to receive a skinny BBL or consider alternate options to produce their desired results. The results of a Skinny BBL are a fuller booty designed specifically to fit harmoniously with the rest of your body. In addition to having a fuller booty, this process provides the added bonus of slimming down other areas of your body to create your ideal look.
Real People. Real Results.
Am I a good candidate for a Skinny BBL?
A good candidate for a Skinny BBL is anyone seeking a larger booty who doesn’t have enough fat to graft from less than four parts of the body. Patients should be in good physical and emotional health and have realistic expectations about what this surgery can offer them.
Are the results permanent?
It can take up to six months for a patient to see their full results of the BBL. Results are long-lasting and typically remain for at least five years. Many patients report satisfaction with their results for years following the procedure. Maintaining your weight can make the results permanent, and metabolism can impact longevity of results.
Will there be scarring?
Incisions are made in the body when performing the fat transfer, however the incisions are very small so minimal to no visible scarring occurs in this procedure.
Is there pain or discomfort after a Skinny BBL?
Pain and bruising can persist after the procedure for two weeks or more, and your doctor will typically advise against putting any pressure on the area for at least a month. There may be some pain at the injection and incision sites for a couple of weeks after the fat transfer.
What are the complications and risks of a Skinny BBL?
No procedure is without risk. The best way to reduce risk with this procedure is to do your research and go to a reputable surgeon with experience performing Skinny BBLs. In addition, following your doctor’s aftercare instructions will ensure that your final results meet your expectations.
Where does the fat come from?
The fat can come from many areas of the body. The most common areas to transfer the fat from are the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, back, and chin. While a standard BBL requires fat from two to three areas of the body, a skinny BBL transfers fat from four or more.
What if I don’t have enough fat?
Even a skinny BBL requires enough fat to be transferred from at least four parts of the body. Some patients with lower body fat percentages may not have enough fat to transfer and should consider alternate methods to achieve their desired look. Through a consultation, a provider will be able to assess your goals and body fat content to determine if a Skinny BBL is the right procedure for you.
What’s the difference between Sculptra BootyFix and BBL?
BootyFix: Sculptra non-surgically alters the shape or proportion of your butt while a Skinny BBL is performed surgically and its results are permanent. In addition, a Skinny BBL has the added benefit of contouring other parts of the body through liposuction.
Can a Skinny BBL be combined with other procedures?
BeautyFix can combine BBL with other body contouring procedures, such as breast augmentation and tummy tucks.
