My surgeon is board certified and has experience with BBLs but I recently learned that he injects the fat under the muscle. I have read that this is a risky procedure if the fat is injected into the muscle or below it because of the risk of pulmonary embolism. Should I consider cancelling or is this a routine method?

Answer: Is Injecting Fat Under The Muscle Safe With A BBL? The answer to your question is YES and NO. Should you consider cancelling the procedure, in my opinion, Yes. Is it routine to inject fat under or in the muscle, No.BBLs have become a plastic surgery fad which apparently has a potentially high complication rate that can lead to serious consequences, including death. This fad, while attractive, is in my opinion not worth the potential consequences. To that end, I have stopped doing BBLs in my personal plastic surgery practice after having done several hundred successful BBLs.I highly recommend you discuss this very popular but controversial surgery with your personal plastic surgeon, and then make your own decision.

Answer: Is injecting fat under the muscle safe with a BBL? The take-home point of recent research is that traditional methods of transfer of fat into the gluteal muscles should be abandoned in favor of fat transfer though large cannula to areas directly visible beneath the skin. Ask your PS if “under the skin” fat transfer is performed with blunt large diameter cannulae with transfer only the tissue directly under the skin
