Is a BBL safe for a patient with muscular glutes? (Photos)

Asked By:amirahabeeb in Miami, FL

I have really muscular legs and butt , with a muffin top that is really hard for me to get rid of. I want to get a bbl but i am scared of fat embolisms. I heard you can get it if the doctor injects fat into the muscle. If i have a muscular butt does that increase my chances of an embolism happening ? Help
