Brazilian Butt Lift

This 2018 article in New Beauty is a good introduction to the recently realised dangers of the Brazilian Butt Life. The death rate is around 1 in 3000, vastly higher than other aesthetic surgeries. Surgeons are adopting new techniques in an attempt to reduce the risk.

Why One of the Hottest Plastic Surgery Procedures Is Also the Deadliest

Similarly in the Huffington Post

Brazilian Butt Lifts Are Resulting In An Alarmingly High Mortality Rate in 2018

American Society of Plastic Surgeons - Plastic Surgery Societies Issue Urgent Warning About the Risks Associated with Brazilian Butt Lifts in 2018

The source of all the concern are these papers.

The original paper looking at deaths in Mexico and Colombia. Deaths Caused by Gluteal Lipoinjection: What Are We Doing Wrong? in 2015 by Cárdenas-Camarena L, Bayter JE, Aguirre-Serrano H, Cuenca-Pardo J.
And the much larger followup by the task force of the Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation. Report on Mortality from Gluteal Fat Grafting: Recommendations from the ASERF Task Force. in 2017 by Mofid MM, Teitelbaum S, Suissa D, Ramirez-Montañana, Astarita DC, Mendieta C, Singer R

New Safety Procedures

New procedures have been intriduced to improved safety iwith BBL, however it is not clear how many surgeons are following them, and its still a relativly dangerous surgery.

This YouTube video Safe BBL by Aslani in late 2018 talks why BBL has been dangerous and a new technique to make it safe. He refers to Dr. Daniel del Vecchio who invented the EVL lipofilling technique. See the paper Expansion Vibration Lipofilling — EVL — A New Technique in Large Volume Fat Transplantation by Del Vecchio and Wall in 2018.

The EVL paper reports on 2419 BBL procedures over 5 years, with no cases of fat embolism, although there were other complications. Its not clear to me how this proves anything given that the previoulsy estimated death rate was in 1 in 3000.

In a repsonse to another paper Commentary on: Experience With High-Volume Buttock Fat Transfer: A Report of 137 Cases. by Teitelbaum in September 2018, "The statements “High-volume buttock transfer is safe” and “High-volume fat transfer can be performed without significant complications as demonstrated in this case series” are audacious statements to make based on the outcomes of 137 patients.". He also discusses safety techniques and some other reports. Teitelbaum was involved in the 2017 investigation by the Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation.

https://www.prweb.com/releases/liposuction_safest/buttock_augmentation/prweb13784354.htm - refers to EVL and references a paper and https://www.safelipo.com/

In 2020 surgeons Del Vecchio, Daniel A.and Rohrich, Rod propose to rename the procedure in the paper A Changing Paradigm: The Brazilian Butt Lift Is Neither Brazilian Nor a Lift—Why It Needs To Be Called Safe Subcutaneous Buttock Augmentation.

In 2020 Improvement in Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Safety With the Current Recommendations from ASERF, ASAPS, and ISAPS a paper published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal by Luis Rios, Jr and Varun Gupta found "In 2017, the ASERF Gluteal Fat Grafting Task Force reported gluteal fat grafting to be a high-risk procedure and recommended specific surgical techniques to decrease the risk of pulmonary fat embolism (PFE)... In the 2 years following the publication of the recommendations, the incidence of any PFE was 1 in 2492 compared with 1 in 1030 reported in 2017 (P = 0.02). Trends indicated a decreased mortality rate from 1 in 3448 in 2017 to 1 in 14,952 in 2019. Ninety-four percent of respondents were aware of the recommendations. Only 0.8% of surgeons in the current survey reported injecting in deep muscle, compared with 13.1% in 2017 (P < 0.01). Compared with 4.1% in 2017, 29.8% of respondents in our survey reported that they only injected with cannulas ≥4.1 mm (P < 0.01). Only 4% of respondents reported angling the cannula down in the current survey, compared with 27.2% in 2017 (P < 0.01)."

In 2020 Assessing Cosmetic Surgery Safety: The Evolving Data by Rod J. Rohrich, Ira L. Savetsky, and Yash J. Avashia - "In May 2019, a new survey was sent to members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. The survey asked about fat embolisms and deaths associated with gluteal fat grafting in the past 24 months (the time since safety recommendations were established, including the strong recommendation that all BBLs are done using only subcutaneous fat augmentation only) (Luis Rios Jr, MD, personal communication). This survey showed a mortality rate of 1:14,921, which means it is now statistically safer than an abdominoplasty."

In Florida (USA) the high death rate remains even in 2022 (and the reason why is of concern for any surgical procedures in Florida).

2022 - Brazilian Butt Lift-Associated Mortality: The South Florida Experience by Pat Pazmiño, Onelio Garcia - " South Florida has experienced 25 BBL related fat emboli deaths from 2010-2022, however 14 of those deaths have taken place after the Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation (ASERF) guidelines and the Florida Board of Medicine BBL "subcutaneous-only" rule. The working environment at the clinics and the short surgical times for these cases, may be the most important contributors to the BBL mortality in South Florida. "

A realself article by Miamai surgeons explains how the death rate for BBL has improved, while not mentioning that it this improved safety does not apply in Florida

The survey, published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal in 2020, found the BBL mortality rate has dropped to 1 in 14,952, “which puts the BBL at a better safety profile than tummy tucks, which have a mortality rate of 1 in 13,147,” says Miami board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Onelio Garcia

April 25, 2022 - Is Getting a BBL Dangerous? New Risk-Reducing Guidelines Aim to Help the Brazilian Butt Lift Reform Its Reputation by Jolene Edgar, Medical review by Dr. Luis M. Rios Jr.

On 15 June 2022 a Board of Medicine Emergency Rule was issued by the Florida Department of State on the standard of care for BBL surgery in Florida due to the continued high rate of deaths from BBL in the state.

A Beauty Treatment Promised to Zap Fat. For Some, It Brought Disfigurement. in 2023 - "But for some people, the procedure results in severe disfigurement. The fat can grow, harden and lodge in the body, sometimes even taking on the shape of the device’s applicator. This side effect, called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, usually requires surgery to correct. “It increased, not decreased, my fat cells and left me permanently deformed... Allergan Aesthetics, a unit of the pharmaceutical giant AbbVie that now owns CoolSculpting, says this is rare, occurring in 0.033 percent of treatments, or about 1 in 3,000... But a New York Times examination — drawing on internal documents, lawsuits, medical studies and interviews — indicates that the risk to patients may be considerably higher.”", if article is blocked try this link

https://www.eppleyplasticsurgery.com/pelvic-plasty-iliac-crest-implants - "For some cis-females as well as transfemales, one hip augmentation goal might be to have a wider bony iliac crest. A specific metallic iliac crest implant- or plate- has now been FDA-approved for use in the U.S. with a multi-year history of clinical implantation in South Korea where it was initially developed... Iliac crest implants augment the superior bony portion of the hips but are not a complete hip augmentation method. In certain body types, additional silicone implant augmentation may be needed below the bony crest to create a smooth transition and contour. These hip implants can be placed during the iliac crest implant surgery or as a secondary procedure. These are usually smaller silicone implants placed under the gluteus medias muscle, which originates at the gluteal surface of the posterior iliac crest. They are typically placed through the same incision as the iliac crest implants."

Altogether I paid a little over 10k and went to Boston Medical Aesthetics however I do not recommend him after the incredibly terrible care I received post-op.

I don't know if he does any trans surgery, but his YouTube channel is "interesting". He does lots of body sculpting, fat transfer, etc, and patients tend to be very slim by Western standards.

It looks like he works in Medan in Indonesia, so probably not safe to visit if you're trans. Its probably more of interest to show what can be done with low body fat.

https://livesurgery.cirumed.es/doctors.html "This course will count with the presence of internationally renowned plastic surgeons, who will treat, among others, a topic so important nowadays as safety in the fat transfer to the buttocks. They will also demonstrate the techniques they use for Composite Breast Augmentation (Supercharged Breast Augmentation) and Composite Buttock Augmentation (Supercharged Brazilian Butt Lift)."

I am still left with loose skin after tummy tuck by kayleighmayxxx in 2023 - "I came home and realised one of my lipo incisions was not healing under my breast, left it a few days then went to the gp for a wound check. They had to cut loads of stitches as they were left hanging out of the incision so would not dissolve. They also said the tummy tuck cut is infected so gave me more antibiotics and gave me dressings for this area and the one under my breast. The hospital in Turkey gave me 5 lots of medication, one of which they said was a pain killer but it was in fact antibiotics... My tummy tuck cut has loads of rippling, I have my previous belly button so I’m not sure what happened. They performed a full tummy tuck as I have a long scar but I still have my previous belly button so I’m guessing they didn’t remove much skin. When I asked about it they said to reshape the belly button it’s an extra cost (I wasn’t told about this) I was expecting a new belly button... The photos they have posted of me on social media have been edited also to make the surgery results look better than they are"

Florida

Many doctors in Florida do not carry malpractice insurance. See the wiki introduction to see what this means.

Also note the high death rate in Florida from BBL even after new safety guidelines were introduced, "South Florida carries the highest BBL mortality by far in the nation... South Florida has experienced 25 BBL related fat emboli deaths from 2010-2022, however 14 of those deaths have taken place after the Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation (ASERF) guidelines and the Florida Board of Medicine BBL "subcutaneous-only" rule. The working environment at the clinics and the short surgical times for these cases, may be the most important contributors to the BBL mortality in South Florida."

Questions and Answers with Dr. Scurlock about Plastic Surgery l Avana Plastic Surgery by Avana Plastic Surgery in 2022

Yelp

https://www.yelp.com/biz/avana-plastic-surgery-miami
- I did mommy makeover in 8-12-2021 with Dr Scurlock and my whole body developed keloids. Avana charged me $7,7250 for the mommy makeover when I was initially told $3,500. Avana lied and said the original doctor was not able to do my surgery so they are putting me with an older, overweight Dr Scurlock who charged double and messed up my body. Avana wanted me to pay $4,000 xtra to do a revision.
- "I only used this place because I wanted to see Dr Scurlock this is the first time I have ever been through a clinic type of practice and definitely my last. This was like a meat market. From being over priced the hidden fees the Deposit, to the 2 hour wait time for blood work. I got a Tummy Tuck with Dr Scurlock. Waking up out of recovery was the most horrific experience I've ever had..."

reply to Breast augmentation (fat only, no implants) + (accidental) body feminization with Dr. Kevin Tehrani by Milanfer in 2024 - "Good judgment bc I had a procedure with Del Vecchio & went completely septic shock. Thank god I went to the hospital when I did... There were so many red flags that I ignored and found some things just off. Everything was unorganized i was confused in the whole process bcuz his secretary notified me a week before surgery I didn’t even have a pre op appt if I’m remembering correctly. But day of surgery I was the last patient & it was obvious I was JAMMED into the schedule bcuz I was waiting in a robe for hours before they took me into the OR. I woke up fine I guess groggy from anesthesia went home and woke up early am with an extremely high fever. We notified the nurse who said it is Normal & dr was ignoring calls. Tylenol wouldn’t even break the fever so I went to ER and thank god I did because I would have died at home. I went into full septic shock my BP was like 60/70 some how they stabilized me after & rushed me into emergency surgery about 24 hours later. Was in ICU and hospital for a month. I do not know what went wrong in that operating room but something I will never kno"
