A Fat transfer to hip dips and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) are two different procedures, and while they both involve the transfer of fat, the risks associated with each procedure can differ.
BBL involves the removal of fat from other parts of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and transferring it to the buttocks to enhance their size and shape. This procedure carries a higher risk of complications, including fat embolism, which can be life-threatening. This is because the fat is injected into the buttock muscles, which have a rich blood supply, and if the fat enters a blood vessel, it can travel to the lungs and cause serious problems.
Fat transfer to hip dips, on the other hand, involves the transfer of fat from one part of the body to another to enhance the shape of the hips. This procedure typically involves injecting the fat into the subcutaneous tissue, which is less likely to cause fat embolism. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with fat transfer to hip dips, including infection, bleeding, and asymmetry.
You can still also have fat transfer to the posterior gluteal area (buttocks) safely via superficial gluteal lipofilling (SGL) or BEST-F techniques which involves the use of ultrasound scan to insure that the fat is only injected into the subcutaneous space, not into the muscle as recevntly recommended by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).
