Patient Details
Not every patient seeking a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has excess body fat. This patient had a lean, athletic build and wanted a subtle enhancement of her buttocks while maintaining natural body proportions. Her goals were improved projection, smoother hip contours, and a more feminine waist-to-hip ratio—not an exaggerated result.
Dr. Mihail Climov performed a customized Skinny BBL, beginning with liposuction of the abdomen and flanks to carefully harvest available fat while sculpting a slimmer waist. Rather than discarding the harvested fat, it was meticulously purified and transferred to the buttocks using advanced gluteal fat grafting techniques to create soft, natural-looking volume.
Because patients with a lower BMI have less fat available for transfer, every milliliter counts. Careful fat harvesting, processing, and strategic placement are essential to maximize fat survival and achieve balanced, proportional results.
At just 1 month after surgery, she is already demonstrating improved buttock projection, enhanced hip fullness, and a beautifully defined waist-to-hip ratio. Her final results will continue to develop as swelling resolves and the transferred fat stabilizes.

What Is a Skinny BBL?
A Skinny BBL is a Brazilian Butt Lift designed for lean patients with limited fat reserves. Instead of requiring large amounts of fat, the procedure focuses on strategically harvesting fat from areas such as the abdomen and flanks, then transferring it to the buttocks to improve shape, projection, and overall body balance.
The goal is natural enhancement, not dramatic enlargement. Even a modest increase in volume can create a significant improvement in the waist-to-hip ratio and overall silhouette.
Benefits of a Skinny BBL
Individual results may vary. Final results continue to improve over the following months as swelling resolves and the transferred fat establishes its blood supply.
