Although J-Lo, Pippa, and KKW have been credited with making big butts a thing, it was actually the Brazilians who cornered this rising aesthetic trend a few decades ago.
The popular Brazilian butt lift or BBL, as it is more commonly known, comes with some risks, especially if you aren’t careful about the doctor you choose. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), the BBL procedure has been shown to have the highest rate of complication and even death in extreme cases. In fact, as many as 1 in 3,000 people who undergo the procedure die, or 0.033 percent, compared with 0.002 percent for all office-based cosmetic procedures, according to a 2016 study

A Brazilian Butt Lift, commonly referred to as a BBL, is a procedure that combines liposuction and fat transfer. It is a way to sculpt the body by removing fat from the places that you don’t want it (such as the abdomen and back) and placing it in the places you do want it (such as the butt and hips).
