Curves built for your frame with Miami's Top BBL Experts
Want a fuller, lifted backside that turns heads?
You don't have to have a lot to give a lot. That's the simple truth behind the Skinny BBL — a specialized variation of the Brazilian Butt Lift designed for slender patients who want more shape and projection without looking unnatural. If you've ever thought you weren't a candidate for a BBL because you're too lean, you may be surprised by what's actually possible.
At Snatched Plastic Surgery in Miami, our board-certified surgeons work with your unique body to create curves that feel like yours — just enhanced. This isn't about dramatic transformation for its own sake. It's about giving you the proportions you've always envisioned.
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a fat transfer procedure that removes fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs and reinjects it into the buttocks to add volume and shape. A Skinny BBL follows the same principle but is tailored specifically for patients with lower body fat percentages.
Because slender patients have less donor fat available, the technique demands a higher level of surgical precision. Surgeons must harvest fat more strategically, process it carefully to preserve viable fat cells, and inject it with an artistic eye to achieve natural-looking results. The goal isn't simply "bigger", it's better proportioned.
At Snatched Plastic Surgery, we use advanced fat harvesting and purification techniques to maximize the usable fat from your available donor sites, giving you meaningful results even when working with a petite frame.
Benefits of a Skinny BBL in Miami
The Skinny BBL appeals to patients who want enhancement without excess. Because the added volume is your own fat — not an implant — the results look and feel natural to the touch. The procedure also simultaneously contours the donor areas, so patients often leave with a slimmer waist and more defined silhouette in addition to a lifted, fuller backside.
Recovery tends to be more comfortable compared to implant-based augmentation, and there's no foreign material introduced to the body, which reduces long-term risks. For Miami patients who value a subtle, sculpted aesthetic over dramatic size, the Skinny BBL hits a particular sweet spot.

Am I a candidate for a Skinny BBL?
Not every slender patient will qualify, and candidacy is determined during a thorough in-person consultation. That said, ideal candidates generally share a few common characteristics.
Being in overall good health with no uncontrolled medical conditions.
Having realistic expectations about the degree of enhancement achievable with limited fat.
Maintaining a stable weight for at least six months prior to surgery.
Being a nonsmoker, or willing to quit at least four weeks before and after the procedure.
Patients who are extremely underweight or who have virtually no accessible donor fat may be advised to gain a small amount of weight before surgery to increase the pool of transferable fat. Your surgeon will discuss this candidly during your consultation.
A Skinny BBL is a multi-step procedure that combines Liposuction and fat transfer. The entire procedure typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the amount of Liposuction and fat transfer involved. You'll be under general anesthesia, so you won't feel anything during surgery. Here's what to expect:
Step 1: Liposuction to Harvest Fat
Pre-op preparation sets the foundation for a safe, successful outcome. In the weeks before your surgery date, your surgeon will order lab work, review your medications, and provide detailed instructions on diet, hydration, and activity. You'll also have an in-depth conversation about your aesthetic goals so the surgical plan reflects exactly what you're hoping to achieve.
Step 2: Fat Purification
Surgery itself is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes two to four hours depending on the number of donor sites involved. Your surgeon begins by using liposuction to carefully remove fat from targeted areas — often the abdomen, love handles, lower back, or inner thighs — then purifies that fat before injecting it in precise layers throughout the buttocks to build natural volume and contour.
Step 3: Strategic Fat Transfer
Post-op care is critical to protecting your results. You'll be given a compression garment to wear during the initial healing phase, and you'll need to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for approximately two to three weeks to allow the transferred fat cells to establish a blood supply and survive long-term.
BBL Recovery & Results: What to Expect
Most patients return to light activity within one to two weeks, though full recovery — including clearance to sit normally and return to exercise — typically takes six to eight weeks. Swelling is normal and expected; final results generally become visible three to six months after surgery as the body fully heals and residual swelling resolves.
It's worth understanding that not all transferred fat survives. On average, approximately 60% to 80% of injected fat cells integrate permanently. Your surgeon accounts for this during the procedure by slightly overfilling to achieve the desired final outcome. Maintaining a stable weight after surgery helps protect and preserve your results long-term.
