I'm Brazilian and I don't know what a Brazilian butt lift is
I don't even know how many a Brazilian is.
I think it’s a vermillion plus a gillian
They take fat from elsewhere in your body and shove it in your ass, if they do it wrong and accidentally hit a vein, it can cause a pulmonary embolism. Even after if the surgery doesn't take the fat in your ass can rot and cause a smell. It's an insane and high risk surgery solely for cosmetics.
and shove it in your ass,
I think they inject it, but your way sounds more fun.
Inject = Shove through a small needle :D
Wait, even if it fat doesn't rot it still doesn't integrate into tissue at the site of injection, right? It's just loose fat tissue pâté that adds volume with no structure?
I'm not sure
I know three girls who got BBLs in Florida and the "Doctor" used rubber cement. In the words of Dave Barry: I swear to god I'm not making this up! https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/fake-doctor-injected-cement-and-fix-a-flat-into-patients-butt-6544305

This tracks.
I'm so glad that Kim Kardashian exists to inspire young people today...

I'm glad. I've seen it a few times and that wasn't my first guess.
During a BBL, fat is liposuctioned from one area of the body and injected into the butt. If too much fat is packed into a single spot—more than blood vessels can support—it can die. That’s called fat necrosis, and it smells about as good as it sounds. “When there is more fat in an area than the blood supply allows, the fat will die through a smelly process,” Dr. Anderson told the Daily Mail. It’s a complication that can lead to infections, hospital stays, and in rare cases, sepsis.
Imagine if you love going down on your partner and the smell of rotten flesh is a few inches away.
"Smells like something died in there"
Would make me think of my mother
Goodbye internet
I looked at the subreddit for bolted on butts, and they're so gross.
Vice back at it with ground breaking journalism
Hahaha, I don't know why, but this absolutely made my day.
The BBL smell, rotting fat - you can't make this shit up.
Look at this reddit comment of someone who had one.
They're so bad for you in general. I work adjacent to a neuro spine clinic and that's a fine way to wreck your back. But a big old cloud of stank ass wafting from it makes it worse.
Do a squat or inject my own decaying ass fat into my skin defying God and science both?
I know what to do
Shit. I was on team squats but youre making this sound really good. Defying the laws of man and god is kind of my shit.
The BBL smell, rotting fat
You forgot the inability to properly wipe their ass (also mentioned in the article).
You can't even sit down for 6-8 weeks after the procedure. Like WTAF.
Reminded me of bart
Seems like a very mean spirited and spiteful person would have their day made by other people having problems.
Eh, when it's problems that could have easily been avoided by not doing something completely unnecessary I lose sympathy
got that dumpy, that wagon haulin straight stank
Big Black Ligma?
