Brazilian butt lift is considered among surgical circles the deadliest aesthetic procedure ever performed. Since 2010 to date there have been 25 deaths in South Florida due to the cosmetic procedure Brazilian Butt Lift, also known as BBL, and 23 of the 25 were performed in high volume budget clinics. Trying to stop these these deaths, 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 and last year in 2022 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, continue to be 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.
