What are the odds of getting abscesses or fat necrosis on my butt after a BBL?
BBL is an over-popularized procedure with more risks than are commonly discussed:Failure to augment - only 30-50% of the transferred fat survives, often irregularly;Fat embolism - every year there are patient deaths following this procedure due to poor technique;Fat necrosis - not all dead fat is absorbed, some becomes nodular with painful calcification;Abscess formation - dead fat can form a sterile abscess or an infected abscess.BBL is over-hyped and the risks are underappreciated. Be sure you get the opinion of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (do not accept "cosmetic" surgeey boards....). This procedure IS risky and it is being offered by a lot of poorly trained and un-credentialed practitioners.
