Is butt enhancement surgery a global health concern? In this episode, we discuss the procedures, costs and possible complications of Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs).  We highlight the reasons for the growing demand of BBLs over the past decade. We also assess the unrealistic beauty standards set on women in today’s society and suggest possible solutions moving forward.
