A Natural BBL, also known as a “Skinny BBL” is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the buttocks and hips on thinner or petite patients who have a BMI of 24 or less. A Natural Skinny BBL procedure is perfect for patients seeking a subtle, natural-looking enhancement to achieve a fuller appearance in the buttocks without appearing overly exaggerated.
A Natural Skinny Brazilian Butt Lift is very similar to a traditional Brazilian Butt Lift, this procedure involves a skilled surgeon harvesting fat with liposuction from various parts of your body and strategically transferring it to enhance and sculpt your figure. The main difference is that you may need to source fat from additional areas such as the arms and upper thighs to ensure an adequate supply of fat for achieving desirable results.

The amount of fat that is transferred for a natural Brazilian butt lift procedure will depend on your goals, the amount of fat your surgeon can harvest. Typically a patient will receive anywhere from 300 milliliters to 700 milliliters of fat to the buttocks and hip area.

If you’ve been turned down for a Skinny BBL procedure because you do not have enough “fat”, don’t lose hope. Finding a specialist with the right expertise in this advanced technique is essential. At Chicago Breast & Body Aesthetics, both local residents and patients traveling from across the country trust the renowned skills of Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong or Dr. Kevin Lin.
