I’m going to have this done in November I’m just choosing my surgeon and am quite scared about having something done as I’m worried about any of the implications. Has anything gone wrong for anyone?

Answer: BBL complications Dear Holly,YES. There are much higher risks with doing a BBL than almost any other cosmetic procedure out there. Any surgeon who tells you differently is either lying or does not read any articles. The BBL has similar risks of bleeding, infection, asymmetry, blood clots...etc as all other procedures. It does have an unusually high rate of fat embolus (fat ending up in a blood vessel) not seen in any other procedure and also fat necrosis (fat that does not survive and is absorbed by the body). These emboli have only been reported with injection of the fat into the muscle of the buttocks. This is the major reason why myself (and many other surgeons) only inject the fat into the subcutaneous fat already found in the buttocks.Good luck with your research.Dr T
