The Real Deal On Butt-Crafting BBL Surgery From Women Who’ve Tried It
The advent of the BBL is credited to one of the most well-known plastic surgery visionaries, Dr. Ivo Pitanguy, a Brazilian surgeon. Initially, butt lift surgeries removed excess skin and tissue to reduce sagging. According to Dr. Alex Earle, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Miami who has performed more than 2,000 ultrasound-guided BBLs, Dr. Pitanguy advocated for only a modest amount of fat transfer. Yet, surgeons became more aggressive over the years, reallocating much more significant amounts of fat into various planes of the buttocks, which led to the labeling of the surgery as dangerous and even lethal.
