How safe is facial fat transfer? Is it safer than BBL?

Question

I’ve heard Brazilian but lift is really dangerous and the most dangerous procedure.

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

It is true that fat transfer to the buttock is one of the more dangerous plastic surgery procedures performed.  This is because of the risk of fat embolization of fat to the lungs.  This is not a risk when it comes to fat transfer of the face.  However, theoretically there is a risk of blindness if the fat embolizs to behind the eyeball.  With blunt cannulas and proper technique this should not happen.  Be sure to go to someone with a lot of experience to reduce your chances of complications.
