About Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

BBL is liposuction from one or more body areas combined with processed autologous fat injection into the buttocks for shape enhancement. Approximately 30,000 procedures performed annually in US in 2026 (down from peak 2018 levels due to safety concerns). Has the highest mortality rate of any cosmetic surgery (1 in 3,000-5,000) primarily due to fat embolism when injected too deep into muscle. ASERF/ASAPS 2023 task force mandates subcutaneous-only injection with ultrasound guidance. Mexico and Dominican Republic providers have substantially worse safety profiles than US plastic surgery centers.

50-70% of injected fat survives long-term. The body resorbs 30-50% in first 3-6 months. Surgeons overcorrect at injection to account for resorption. Final result visible at 6 months. Some patients pursue revision BBL after year 1 if excessive resorption.
