What is a Mini BBL?
A Mini BBL, also known as a Petite BBL, is a specialized fat transfer procedure designed for individuals with a lower Body Mass Index (BMI), typically under 25, who have less excess fat. Unlike a traditional BBL, which focuses on transferring large volumes of fat, a Mini BBL prioritizes strategic fat redistribution to enhance existing curves and create a more balanced silhouette. This often involves liposuction from multiple areas due to the limited fat available.
How Does a Mini BBL Differ from a Traditional BBL?
The primary difference lies in the amount of available fat for transfer. In a traditional BBL, patients typically have more excess fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs, allowing for a more dramatic increase in buttock volume. In contrast, Mini BBL candidates have less fat, so the focus is on reshaping and contouring rather than significant volume enhancement.
