In the last five years, there have been 19 deaths in South Florida due to the cosmetic procedure Brazilian Butt Lift, also known as BBL, and eight alone were in 2021, more than any other year. So, what is the reason women are dying while getting this procedure? In 2019 there was a global mandate that doctors could no longer inject fat directly into the muscle area because of the high risk of death. This year, Florida‘s Board of Medicine put emergency regulations in place to combat the problem in their state. Yet the number of deaths in Florida attributed to this procedure continues to grow. So why is this procedure, with the highest mortality rate of any cosmetic procedure, so popular? Join Dr. Rady Rahban as he delves into the three factors that create the perfect storm with this highly controversial procedure, the Brazilian Butt Lift.
