00:00The most important thing people need to know about BBL surgery is that it can be deadly
00:05in the wrong hands.
00:07It's not worth it, I did it.
00:36The Kardashians, the Jenners, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, there's so many celebrities where their
00:43focus is on the rear end and so young women then undergo this operation as a way to try
00:48to get bodies like their idols.
00:52I'm not going to do it girl, I was just thinking about it, I'm not going to do it.
00:58I did it.
01:07The surgery starts by liposuctioning, removing fat from certain body parts, typically the
01:12abdomen, the hips and the thighs are very common areas.
01:16That fat is then purified and then it is re-injected into the buttocks, utilizing small incisions.
01:27It can be a fairly straightforward recovery if you have a couple of hundred cc's that's
01:45taken out of your body and injected into the buttocks.
01:47But some doctors will do quite extensive operations where they'll inject a liter or more into
01:54each butt cheek.
01:56Recovery once again depends on just how much fat is removed and injected.
02:00Those areas where you have the fat removed, you've had liposuction, they are going to
02:03be sore.
02:04They may drain fluid and even blood through the incisions for several days.
02:09As far as the buttocks, it is important after the operation not to sit on the buttocks.
02:15We want to avoid putting pressure onto those areas.
02:41The problem is that if this operation is performed by a cosmetic surgeon who does not
02:46have proper training in how to safely perform this operation, people can die and they can
02:51die very, very quickly.
02:57If you're going to inject the buttocks with fat, you must inject it into the subcutaneous
03:02layer, that layer between the skin and the underlying muscle.
03:06If a doctor does not know this, if they've never studied this, if they're dabbling in
03:10it and they inject the fat deep into the muscle of the buttocks, which has been a very common
03:15thing, then the death rate goes up significantly due to a complication called fat embolism.
03:23The horrifying part about this is that you can die literally within minutes and who's
03:28dying from these operations?
03:30It's usually young women and often young women of color.
03:37The fat that is injected into the buttocks with a BBL is permanent, but not all of it
03:43will stay.
03:44Anywhere from about 30% to 50% of the fat that is injected into the buttocks with this
03:49operation will stay long-term, five years, 10 years, probably even longer.
03:53If you have a pretty conservative BBL and it's a couple of hundred cc's maybe injected
03:58into your buttocks, that most likely is not going to cause your buttocks to have, let's
04:03say premature aging as you get older.
04:06But if you're injecting one to two liters into each butt cheek, how is that fat going
04:11to stay there as you get older and your skin gets droopy?
04:16Those are things that haven't really been looked at because the operation hasn't been
04:19around necessarily long enough for us to get those long-term studies and those long-term
04:24results.
