Where do surgeons typically inject fat for a BBL procedure and with what size cannula? Above the muscle, into the muscle, other?

Asked By:Letitiacf

I've heard of a safer BBL procedure involving injecting fat above the muscle with a larger cannula to avoid puncturing large blood vessels from a doctor, thus reducing risk of fat embolisms. I am curious about what the common practices are among other surgeons. Are larger cannulas typically used for injection into the buttocks? If injected into the muscle, what is done to avoid puncturing the blood vessels? Are results more likely to last if inserted above the muscle or into?
