A BBL is generally considered a "safer" procedure due to the higher risk of complications associated with the buttocks implant surgery. BBLs typically look more natural than implants as well.

At this time implants have a much higher complication rate than autologous fat transfer making fat transfer the more common procedure.

Thank you for your question, most patients prefer the Brazilian butt lift since its your own fat that's used to sculpt your body, the biggest problems patients have with buttocks implants is the high risk of infections in the incision area, implant encapsulation or rejection and displacement; Aside that both have similar operating room risks.I would advice you to have a in person consultation with several doctors for you to get to know each doctors procedure and make a more informed decision.Good Luck.

Both Brazilian buttock lift and buttock implants (silicone) are safe ways to augment the buttocks. Buttock implants are associated with more complications however.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

They each have their own unique set of complications. The buttock implants must be removed 5 to 10% of the time, which tends to make this a less popular choice.
