How is a Skinny BBL performed?
Because Skinny BBL is a highly specialized procedure, a "regular" BBL approach often isn't enough. Your surgeon has to be very skilled at finding and safely harvesting fat on thin patients. Dr. Truong and Dr. Lin have trained for this by performing thousands of BBLs, including many Skinny BBLs, so they know how to work with limited fat and still create natural, balanced curves.
Chicago area residents and patients from all over the country come to see Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong and Dr. Kevin Lin for the Skinny BBL procedure because of their expertise and advanced techniques and natural Brazilian Butt Lift results. Sign up for a complimentary virtual consultation with the best Skinny BBL surgeons in Chicago, Illinois.
What does a Skinny BBL Do?
Skinny BBL Benefits
- Sculpt and contour your entire body (even if you're slim): A Skinny BBL at Chicago Breast and Body removes small pockets of fat from spots like your waist, back, arms, or thighs and reuses it to shape your hips and butt. Even with limited fat, Dr. Truong and Dr. Lin focus on 360 contouring so you slim the places you don't want it and enhance the areas you do, for a more defined, feminine silhouette.
- Natural look for petite frames: Skinny BBL uses your own fat to sculpt your new figure. Unlike implants that can look or feel fake, your fat stays soft and supple for safe, natural-looking results.
- Long-lasting changes: With our technique, many patients keep a high percentage of transferred fat, so the improvement can be long term. As long as you follow your surgeon’s instructions and maintain a healthy lifestyle, your Skinny BBL results can last for years.
- Gradual recovery: You'll be up and walking within a day or two, and many people return to desk work after a week. You'll need to avoid sitting directly on your butt for a couple of weeks and use a special pillow until you're cleared to sit normally
- Boost in confidence: A balanced, proportionate shape often makes clothes fit better and may give you a boost in self-confidence.

Can I get a Skinny BBL even if I have no fat?
Even with a BMI under 24 or very little body fat, you may still be a great candidate for a BBL at Chicago Breast & Body Aesthetics. Our Skinny BBL specialists, Dr. Truong and Dr. Lin, use advanced fat-harvesting techniques to carefully collect fat from multiple small donor areas that other surgeons might overlook.
We've helped many patients who were told "no" or turned away by other surgeons, creating natural, proportional results that enhance your own body shape. If you've been told you're "too skinny" for a BBL, a Skinny BBL or Country Club BBL™ may still be an option-schedule a consultation to find out what's realistic for you.
What's the Difference between a Skinny BBL and Brazlian Butt Lift?
Which Brazilian Butt Lift is Right for You?
Not every body needs the same type of buttock enhancement. At Chicago Breast and Body, Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong and Dr. Kevin Lin look at your frame, BMI, and past surgeries to decide whether a Regular BBL, Skinny BBL, Country Club BBL™, Buttock Reduction, or BBL Revision makes the most sense for you. This quick comparison chart shows how each option is different, so you can start to see where you might fit before your consultation.
| BUTTOCK SURGERY TYPE | IDEAL CANDIDATE | AESTHETIC GOAL | FAT SOURCE & NEEDS | RESULT PROFILE | WHY CHOOSE THIS? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional Brazilian Butt Lift | Candidates (BMI < 32) seeking balanced, proportional enhancement. | Create a defined hourglass shape using your own natural tissue. | Harvested from abdomen/flanks (Lipo 360) to sculpt the waist first. | Full, round, and proportional to your specific body frame. | Achieves significant curves while maintaining a natural, non-surgical look. |
| Skinny BBL (Petite BBL) | Leaner profiles (BMI ≤ 24) looking to refine their silhouette. | Enhance curves without requiring weight gain. | Strategic harvesting from smaller depots (arms, thighs, back). | Athletic, perky projection with smoothed hip dips. | "Snatched" waistline with subtle, athletic glute enhancement. |
