More than 520,000 people in 2021 got some type of buttock augmentation, including the BBL or Brazilian butt lift, yet the procedure has the highest mortality rate of any aesthetic surgery.
Dr. Rubinstein said there are large veins around the muscles of the buttocks that can be injured during a BBL if the fat injections are placed in those muscles.
Around 7% of the surgeons who responded said they had seen at least one pulmonary fat embolism during their careers, with a total of 32 fatalities reported.In June 2021, the Florida Medical Association announced in a press release on its website that intramuscular or submuscular fat injections were prohibited.
The BBL is a fat-grafting process in which fat is removed from other areas via liposuction — and injected into the buttocks.
