The Brazilian Butt Lift is a buttocks fat transfer procedure that takes fat from a part of the body, generally the hips and thighs, and places it in the buttocks. Dr. Bajaj does not perform this procedure due to concerns regarding its safety. Recent evaluations by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and numerous reported complications in the lay press have alerted plastic surgeons to the risks of the procedure. These risks include concerns about fat particles entering the blood stream because of the complex anatomy of the buttocks area. If the fat is inadvertently injected into the large veins in the buttocks, this fat particle can make its way to the heart and lungs leading to death. For these reasons and more, Dr. Bajaj urges patients to do their research and choose a surgeon who understands the nuances and complexities of the procedure and understands the anatomy of the buttocks, preferably a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
