hi I'm dr. Johnny thanks for joining me
today let's tackle this top topic today
the most dangerous plastic surgery
procedure available today and it's
sought after a lot of people wanted it's
trending Kim Kardashian is probably one
of the first to start the trend clothing
has become conducive to showing off
larger midsections
larger buttock area it's the Brazilian
Butt Lift with fat transfer we're going
to talk about it today what it is why it
is it's a real quick clip but also offer
a couple alternative treatments that
maybe you could do instead and I know
that people do want surgery because you
can move fat from one area to another it
seems like the best thing in the world
take it from where you don't want it put
it from where to where you do and at the
same time be in style with a bbl the
brazilian butt-lift look let's dive into
it in this Raji's quickie 3 seconds

okay so the Brazilian Butt Lift involves
taking fat from other areas such as the
love handles we don't want it there the
back don't really want it there the bra
fat and the abdomen and moving it to
where people do want it that beautiful
looking bbl buttock okay once you move
fat then the fat has to take just like
we talked about fat transfer in the face
of why I don't do that
it has to revascularize and if it
doesn't all take it can look irregular
on the body and the buttock not so
important because we don't need all of
it to take if a good portion does if
it's not perfectly smooth at least you
have the great shape and you can
fine-tune it after with sculptor and
different things however it has other
downfalls
and that is death and the reason that
happens is when you take fat back and
form what we call like an embolus so it
a little piece travels up to the lung
it's not conducive to living when you
can't breathe
if you think of it that way
and it's a common cause one of the top
causes of death and trauma and different
things would be what we hear pulmonary
embolus similar to something is if you
had people often know if you had a leg
vein problem or DVT or deep thrombus in
your vein and the risk of that above the
knee particularly going to the lung and
then causing death if we take fat and we
put it into the vessels that typically
lie underneath the gluteal muscles to
the deeper planes and it goes into the
vessel the same thing happens and it's
instant death not a good thing so what
can you do about it well you can keep
the fat above the muscle not everyone
likes to look of that but it does keep
it safer when you go to conferences this
is what people are bantering back and
forth debating who should be doing the
procedure you want to go to a
board-certified plastic surgeon who does
this all the time some of the worst
things you hear are people going to
centers or places that are offering
specials and they're running many people
through a day it's sought after one of
the reasons that made me do this video
is because we see bad filler placed in
the buttock and over in Europe they took
fillers off the market that came in 50
CC amounts that were being put in
buttocks because of the dangers of them
well even worse people are putting
fix-a-flat people are putting silicon
and just I can tell you absolute
disasters look you can almost never get
rid of it fully there's the closest
death of this tissue it's ugly so if you
don't want to have it what's the death
rate one in about 1400 to one in 3,000
would be the number of people who get
the procedure don't make it through
that's an extremely high number of it
for a death rate so if you don't want to
take that on what can you do and I would
submit this is one of these cases where
be reasonable we all want to look great
we want to look refreshed but some
things just aren't worth it so if you
unless you're doing this for a living
you're making a lot of money or you're
really pushed to do it you might
consider other options or at least have
a great consults go to a great surgeon
and know your risk that apply to you
giving your health history so what can
you do Sculptra it's expensive it's best
for people that don't have a lot of fat
but I like it it's smooth works for the
hip tip it looks it looks great and you
can go and undermine the cellulite
smooth the legs it can be done after of
this surgery but it can also be done in
lieu of just be mindful if you want to
large your butter that's expensive doing
50 to 100 miles of sculptor very
expensive your fat is much cheaper so
people come to me for a sculptor bbl if
they have fat I send them to get fat
first I talk to them about fat first
other things you can do of course
there's exercise don't want to bring
this up to get everyone into a heated
discussion but squad after squat there's
muscle stimulating devices such as M
sculpt and knockoffs of those
CoolSculpting which was Zeltiq now owned
by allergen they have one out cool tone
that is similar to M sculpt that that
that stimulates the muscle to move I
don't much buy into that I mean you get
five or 10% it's like a TENS unit some
people love it and they're gonna argue
with me it's fine something that I offer
to my patients for the cost the amount
they have to come in for the result
they're getting doesn't work out for my
patients to do that procedure but it's
out there and you might like it you can
research it reducing the fat with
radiofrequency removing the fat above
the buttock and you can do that with
CoolSculpting you can do it with
injection lipolysis at videos on Cabella
can give the buttock around or look cos
you've taken the fat from above it which
is exactly what you do in a BB L
surgical procedure remove fat from above
and it gives a a better look so those
are some of the things that you can do
to get a great looking back without
surgery but I want you to be aware of
the high death rate see a properly
trained physician and understand and go
into it knowing everything you know most
importantly don't get cheap fillers it
sounds like a quick fix but it's a
disaster tell me what you think about
the BBL do you want to have that
look and how would you like to go about
getting out what have you done stay
tuned here keep your skin and body
beautiful healthy converts
