What is BBL?
The Brazilian lift is neither a Brazilian nor a lift. In fact, the process involves the transfer of fat from an area of the body to the buttocks to create an expansion, elevated appearance. While the courage around the BBLS has certainly been slowed down by the peak of 2016, the process is still regularly performed by plastic surgeons certified by the Board of Directors. In addition, options are available such as implants and limb lifts without fat transplantation to enhance the shape and size of the area.
What do you need to know before taking a BBL?
“Many times with the glutatic increase, I will put the fat back to create this three -dimensional outline,” explains Louisville, Ky Plastic Surgery Chet Mays, MD. “So it’s not just what you take away with liposuction, but what you add back has changed a lot of plastic surgery in recent years.
This process helps to create the shape and tumor that patients are looking for, but it is important to note that BBLs may require more fat transplantation below the line due to the unpredictable way the body cures. “Fat absorption, which could reach up to 40 %, can produce asymmetry,” the aesthetic company’s guidelines on lift note.
Have the risks have been resolved?
“The greatest risk with Brazilian lifts is fat that enters the bloodstream and goes to the lungs,” explains New York Plastic Surgeon Jeffrey S. Yager, MD. “This is known as fats embolism and may be fatal.”
Back in 2020, the aesthetic society formed a working group to evaluate the dangers associated with BBLs and release their recommendations to keep patients safer in surgery. This involves maintaining fat injections above the muscle, and not in the muscle.
But that does not mean that the risks are entirely resolved.
“There is a risk in any process,” adds La Jolla, Ca Plastic Surgeon Robert Singer, MD. “There were cases where the doctor said they were completely over the muscle. And in fact the patient died and later found that the injection went not only above the muscle.
