Dear Itseuni, BBL is a total waste of your time and money, because the fat disappears completely or almost completely within months or even sooner. I have seen it on many patients who came to my surgery center for butt implants surgery after their big disappointment from the BBL procedure that was done by other surgeons. Think about it this way. If fat injection would have been consistent and reliable, most women would have preferred it for breasts augmentation over breasts implants, however the reality is that the number one cosmetic surgery in the US is breasts augmentation with implants... BBL does not work long term! As far as safety, BBL is associated with multiple deaths of young women, whereas none is associated with butt implants to my knowledge. However, there are possible complications with butt implants if you go to inexperienced surgeon or you do not follow strictly the post operative instruction. Butt implants surgery is a very satisfying surgery, however not all result are the same , because there are different implants and different techniques. Additionally, experience, technical skills and aesthetic eye are critical for good outcome. So, do your due diligence carefully and choose your surgeon wisely. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice 'S' curve, nice projection, round hips, low hidden single scar and natural look. It is worth traveling if you do not have locally an experienced surgeon with butt implants surgery. Best of luck, Dr Widder
