“I cannot rave enough about Dr. Mendieta! He is an artist, a skilled surgeon, has an excellent and empathetic bedside manner, professional, realistic, extremely intelligent, and funny! He is THE premier plastic surgeon, and I would not recommend anyone else. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and did an amazing job. I loved his work. I’m very happy.”

“Dr. Mendieta has been really great. He has listened to my concerns and provided me with the medications necessary to ease any discomfort I experience. I love the way he shaped my body so far; although I am only one month after surgery, I hope I stay this way and not lose my butt and hips that he so beautifully created. All of his staff are absolutely wonderful, they are sweet, attentive, show interest in my feelings, as well as take charge when I comment on my concern and communicate it to the doctor. I love Dr. Mendieta and all of his staff. They are professional and courteous. I am very happy I came to him for my surgery.”

What to Expect During Skinny BBL Surgery

Your skinny BBL surgery will be performed under general anesthesia at our private, fully accredited surgical facility. The procedure will begin with your surgeon performing liposuction to remove excess fat from predetermined areas of your body. Because leaner patients have less available fat, careful planning and conservative fat removal are essential to maintain smooth, natural-looking contours.

Once collected, the harvested fat will be purified and prepared for transfer. Your surgeon will strategically inject the purified fat into your buttocks and hips, subtly enhancing their shape and projection and creating symmetry and proportion rather than simply adding volume.

The skinny BBL procedure usually takes two to three hours, depending on the number of liposuction areas treated and whether you choose to include additional body contouring procedures.

Skinny BBL Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery after your skinny BBL is similar to that of a traditional BBL, with patients experiencing bruising, swelling, and mild to moderate discomfort during the first week or two.

You will need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for approximately two weeks and use a specialized BBL pillow when sitting becomes necessary. Sleeping on your stomach or side is also recommended during early healing, as putting direct pressure on your buttocks can compromise your results.

You will wear compression garments to minimize swelling and help shape the areas treated with liposuction. Light movement (such as taking gentle walks) is encouraged shortly after surgery to promote healthy circulation, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks.

Swelling after your skinny BBL subsides gradually over a few months. To maximize the survival of transferred fat and ensure smoother, longer-lasting results, it is essential that you follow your surgeon’s postoperative instructions to the letter.

What Results Can I Expect From a Skinny BBL?

After your skinny BBL, you can expect improved buttock projection, rounder hips, and a more defined waistline due to the combination of fat transfer and liposuction contouring.

Some transferred fat will naturally be reabsorbed by your body in the first few months, but the remaining fat will settle in and establish a permanent blood supply. Your final results are typically visible after the swelling resolves, around three to six months after surgery.

Your skinny BBL results are designed to be long lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight. Gaining or losing weight can affect the transferred fat and change the shape of your carefully contoured silhouette.
