It’s no secret that big booties are “in.”

While butt implants used to be all the rage to improve the contour of your backside, Brazilian butt lifts are the current trend. They allow you to enhance the shape and overall look of your buttocks using your own fat transfer from other parts of your body. This fat is purified and then injected into your derriere where you want it.

You can actually improve the aesthetic of two different areas at the same time, for a perfectly sculpted physique. But, are Brazilian butt lifts safe?

Are Brazilian Butt Lifts Safe to Voluptuously Enhance Your Booty?

As with any cosmetic surgery, Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs) are not without risk. However, they are a safe procedure that many people undergo successfully to achieve long-lasting BBL results.

What Else Should I Know About a BBL to Take My Butt From Flat to Fab?

With a BBL, there is no risk of rejection as with butt implants. This is because it utilizes your body’s own fat. Because the fat is injected, there’s no need for the large incisions associated with implants. Also, you should know that your immediate results are not the end result. Over the next few weeks after a Brazilian butt lift, a small amount of fat injected into the buttocks will be lost. You will still have sensational results, though!
