Torn Between Getting This Done or Not?

Hello. With a board certified plastic surgeon in an approved facility a Brazilian butt lift is a relatively safe procedure. All surgeries carry certain risks and a Brazilian butt lift is no different but for healthy patients complications are very rare.

Puncturing an aorta sounds very extreme, and I think the risk of that happening to you are tiny. There is usually some post op bruising and soreness with liposuction, but intra-abdominal injury is rare.

Once the fat is harvested, usually from the flanks, outer and upper posterior thighs, or abdomen, it is separated from fluid and fatty oil, and re-injected into the buttocks.  It will not all survive, so initially some over correction may be done.

In general, fat-grafting and liposuction are very safe.

Serious complication with liposuction are extremely rare. Remember when dealing with humans, there is always the chance of having imperfections, complications, mistakes etc.
