What Is a Skinny BBL?

The Skinny BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) is a refined body contouring procedure designed for individuals with a naturally slim or athletic build. Unlike traditional BBLs, which require larger volumes of fat, this technique focuses on strategic fat transfer to create subtle, natural-looking curves—making it ideal for patients with a lower body fat percentage.

Dr. Karl William Schwarz, a board-certified plastic surgeon at Careaga Plastic Surgery, specializes in delivering customized results using advanced techniques that enhance the body’s natural proportions.

A Modern Philosophy: Whole-Body Harmony, Not Just Volume

Moving Beyond the Traditional BBL

The modern Skinny BBL isn’t just about enlarging the buttocks—it’s about creating balance from head to toe. Dr. William takes a 360° approach to body sculpting, addressing the entire lower body, including the hips, waist, thighs, and lower back, to ensure a harmonious, feminine silhouette.

Why the Skinny BBL Is Gaining Popularity

For many patients, especially those who are naturally slim or fitness-focused, traditional BBLs may look unnatural or disproportionate. The Skinny BBL technique corrects this by:

  • Filling hip dips for smooth curves
  • Enhancing the waist-to-hip ratio
  • Creating proportion between the buttocks and legs

This is especially important for patients looking for results that are elegant and tailored—not exaggerated.

Skinny BBL: Step-by-Step Overview

1. Personalized Consultation

Dr. William begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine your fat distribution, skin quality, and goals.

2. Gentle Liposuction

Fat is harvested from donor areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or inner thighs, using advanced liposuction techniques designed for minimal trauma and high fat survival.

3. Fat Purification

The fat is carefully processed to remove impurities and prepare it for safe, effective reinjection.

4. Strategic Fat Injection

Dr. William precisely injects purified fat into the buttocks, hips, and surrounding areas—sculpting volume where needed to enhance natural contours.

Addressing Hip Dips: A Signature of the Skinny BBL

Hip dips—the inward curves below the hip bone—can be especially prominent in leaner patients. Dr. William targets these dips with micro-fat grafting to:

  • Create a smooth curve from waist to thigh
  • Enhance feminine shape without overcorrection
  • Improve the balance between the lower and upper body

Benefits of the Skinny BBL

  • Ideal for patients with low BMI
  • Subtle, natural-looking enhancement
  • Enhanced waist-to-hip ratio
  • Faster recovery than traditional BBL
  • Lower risk profile when performed by an experienced surgeon

Whether you’re local or traveling for care, Dr. William’s individualized approach ensures that your aesthetic goals are at the center of your transformation.
