What are the potential risks of having a Brazilian Butt Lift?

While a Brazilian Butt Lift is generally a safe procedure it has the same risks as liposuction with the added risk of fat necrosis.

BBL is a very popular procedure and with it comes plenty of risks. All of the risks associated with liposuction apply. These include contour irregularities, color variation, embolism of fat, seroma, infection etc. The risks that apply to the BBL portion include asymmetry, contour deformity, dissatisfaction with cosmetic results, fat embolism, DVT, infection and fat necrosis are the most common complications. Be sure to find a board-certified plastic surgeon you trust and good luck to you.

The risks associated with a BBL are much lower than other buttock augmentation procedures. As you probably know, excess fat is liposuctioned from various parts of the body and then transferred into the buttocks to enhance their shape and size. Because of the liposuction that is done for this procedure, not only are the buttocks enhanced, but the overall contour and shape of the body is also improved creating a more sculpted body that additionally enhances the appearance of the buttocks. One of the most important aspects of this procedure is being proactive during pre op and recovery time with antibiotics. Keeping incisions clean and dry and follow your post op instructions.Best of luck!
