Botched Surgeries: Brazilian Butt Lift

What really happens when a Brazilian Butt Lift goes wrong? Specialist Plastic Surgeon Professor Mark Ashton explains what makes BBL different from other forms of fat grafting, how serious complications such as fat embolism can occur, and why anatomy matters. He also explores fat survival, fat grafting versus implants, and ultrasound guidance. Professor Mark shares complications he’s encountered following procedures performed overseas or in settings where safety standards may differ - including what recovery and revision surgery can involve, and the emotional impact when things don’t go to plan.
