There was a time when Cara Delevingne’s thigh gap had its own Twitter account, now you can only imagine how important it was to be skinny.
But those times have changed and everyone wants that hourglass figure. A way to achieve that is by undergoing a surgery called “Brazilian Butt Lift”.
This procedure has the highest mortality rate of any cosmetic surgery.
What are the downsides of this surgery and what is the cost of it, to find out more keep reading!
What happens during this surgery?
BBL is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon uses liposuction to remove fat from your lower body; the extracted fat is then purified and injected into specific points on the buttocks to achieve the desired shape and size.
Following the procedure, you should be able to return to light daily activity and work within 10 to 14 days. However, you will not be able to sit, lie down or put pressure directly on your buttocks for about two weeks. You’ll need to sleep on your stomach, and either lie on your stomach, kneel or stand during daily activities.
Full recovery takes about six months. The latest research shows that one year after BBL, generally around 50% of the fat injected into the buttocks survives.
Why is it so dangerous?
BBL is dangerous because there are many blood arteries in the buttocks which drain into the inferior vena cava those supplies directly to the heart.
It is difficult for doctors to know where exactly they’re injecting and sometimes fat is mistakenly injected into the gluteal muscle, or right below it. Fat can then travel directly to the heart and into the lungs causing immediate death.
The death rate for BBL Surgery in the USA is one in 3000 according to the paper titled ‘Report on Mortality from Gluteal Fat Grafting’.
How much does it cost?
In the USA the average cost is around $6,500.
