Brazilian Butt Lifts: An Editorial_ Crimson Publishers
Brazilian Butt Lifts: An Editorial by Michael Naafs AB in Womens Health Journals_ Gynecology Open Access Journal
Abstract
In this editorial risks and benefits of buttock enhancement are discussed with a special emphasis on
Brazilian butt lift procedures. Hopefully, brain enhancement is winning from buttock enhancement.
Introduction
It is rather strange to read at International Women’s Day the first report of a buttock
implant leading to fatal lymphoma, a complication that we know until now only of breast
implants [1,2] Buttock enhancement is mostly performed with autologous fat injection rather
than with silicone implants. However, these Brazilian butt lift procedures are the deadliest
in aesthetic surgery. One in every 3000 patients dies of a fat embolism. Injecting fat into the
buttocks can easily lead to serious problems if done incorrectly [3]. Most of the 33 deaths
have been attributed to unqualified doctors, but underreporting is very likely. Besides fatal
fat embolism, sepsis and gangrene can also be fatal [3]. For those who have ever watched the
TV series “Botched” may be surprised on the vast number of doctors that perform these types
of surgeries who seem to have very questionable qualifications. In a celebrity and beauty
obsessed society this practice continues. Hopefully, brain enhancement is winning from
buttock enhancement.
Conclusion
It is obvious that the risks outweigh the benefits of buttock enhancement.
