In this monologue, the speaker addresses the perception that Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedures are the most dangerous cosmetic surgery. They recount early incidents where fat was inadvertently injected into veins, causing fat embolisms and fatal outcomes. The speaker explains that, in response, a safety statement was authored to outline proper techniques and instrumentation. Modern BBL practice now emphasizes injecting fat into the subcutaneous fatty layer while avoiding the muscle layer and large buttock vessels. The speaker stresses that, when performed by a properly credentialed provider in an appropriate setting, BBL is not inherently unsafe, but adherence to these safety protocols is essential.

But talk to me about bbls. I know they're the most dangerous procedure. That's not something you do. Oh, right. Not something you recommend. Yeah. So it's funny I wouldn't get one obviously, but so it's been around for ages and many years ago when I was working in one of the societies there were deaths and it was basically from, we'll say fat being injected in the wrong areas. It was getting into the bloodstream via the veins and going to the heart and people were dying. So we wrote a statement safety paper about how to do it safely and the instrumentation and it's been much, much more advanced now to where you just are putting fat in the fatty layer and not in the muscle layer and obviously avoiding the large blood vessels around the buttocks. It's not a complicated or unsafe procedure to have performed. It needs to be done in the proper setting by the properly credentialed provider.
