A growing number of women are paying a high price to reverse their Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedures.
The BBL procedure involves removing fat from other parts of the body and injecting it into the buttocks to make them larger.
While the procedure has become popular in recent years, with many women wanting to emulate celebrities like Cardi B, it seems that the trend may be waning.
Some New York women who had their BBLs done elsewhere are now queuing up to have the procedure reversed, and it is costing them $25,000 (£20,000) each.
Overfilled and Cartoonish BBLs
Plastic surgeon Dr. Ryan Neinstein said that the most common complaint leading to the reverse surgery is “overfilled” and “cartoonish” BBLs.
Women who have had these types of BBLs feel uncomfortable and unable to walk down the street confidently.
Dr. Neinstein explained that he commonly has to shrink and tighten the buttocks while sculpting adjacent areas to give a more proportionate and elegant look.
Deadly Consequences
The BBL procedure has seen a rapid uptick in popularity since 2017.
However, it has been dubbed the “world’s most dangerous cosmetic procedure,” with some women alleging that it is more painful than childbirth and takes weeks or even months to recover from.
When the procedure goes wrong, it can have deadly consequences.
The Aesthetic Society estimated that one in every 3,000 surgeries results in death.
Several British women have died after complications with surgeries performed in Turkey.
Warning Against Fad Plastic Surgery Trends
Dr. Neinstein warned against committing to fad plastic surgery trends and emphasized that surgery should aim for timeless beauty.
While clothing and hairstyles are easy to experiment with, he urged caution when it comes to surgical procedures.
Commentary
The rise in popularity of the BBL procedure and its subsequent reversal highlights the dangers of succumbing to trends without careful consideration.
It is important to research and fully understand the potential risks and complications of any cosmetic surgery before undergoing the procedure.
While it is natural to want to enhance one’s appearance, it should not come at the expense of one’s health and well-being.
It is essential to seek out experienced and reputable plastic surgeons and prioritize safety over aesthetic ideals.
