Are You Too Skinny for a BBL?
If you have a low body fat percentage, you might think the BBL is out of reach, or even worse – that you must first gain weight to make it possible. Neither is true!
There is a backside-enhancing surgery that creates curves for those who don’t have much body fat to spare.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Luke Swistun lets us in on how the popular “Skinny BBL” works, where he gets fat from thinner patients, how lumps and bumps are avoided, and reveals his super secret method for hiding lipo scars in plain sight.
