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?

Answer: Where do surgeons typically inject fat for a BBL procedure and with what size cannula? Above the muscle, into the muscle, other? Hello and thank you for your question. There are some safety precautions that most plastic surgeons agree on, which include superficial injection of fat only (NO intramuscular injection), avoidance of large volume fat grafting and use of closed system to harvest and inject fat. Please make sure your surgeon is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and follows safe BBL practices, as outlined by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Answer: BBLs The fat is strategically placed between the skin and the muscle. Injecting into the muscle can increase the risk of fat embolus and should be avoided.If you are a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), the optimal outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD,FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
