Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure that augments the buttocks using autologous fat transfer. Fat is harvested from donor areas (abdomen, flanks, thighs) via liposuction, processed, and injected into the buttocks. BBL offers natural contour enhancement but carries risks such as fat embolism, infection, and asymmetry. The procedure has a higher mortality rate than most cosmetic surgeries due to the risk of fat embolism. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.
