“I’m So Mad I Did That”: Expert Surgeon Reveals The Most Regretted Plastic Surgery Of 2025
The BBL is a two-part procedure that begins with liposuction. Surgeons first use a cannula to strategically suction excess fat from donor sites on the patient's body, typically the abdomen, flanks, lower back and thighs.
The harvested fat is then purified and prepared for transfer, turning these areas into a source for the augmentation material.
The second and most critical phase is the reinjection. Using specialized cannulas, the surgeon meticulously injects the purified fat cells into specific layers and regions of the buttocks to create enhanced volume, improve shape and achieve a more outwardly-projected appearance.
Safety and patient satisfaction depend on placing the fat precisely into the fat layer above the muscle to avoid the lethal risk of fat emboli, which can occur if it is injected into deeper muscle tissue.
