At Chicago Breast and Body Aesthetics, your safety is our highest priority. The Brazilian Butt Lift and Skinny BBL has become one of the most requested cosmetic procedures in America, with women seeking to enhance their curves and create a more balanced silhouette. However, this procedure has also received significant attention regarding safety concerns.
The good news is that advances in surgical techniques—particularly ultrasound guidance—have dramatically improved BBL safety profiles in recent years. When performed by experience BBL surgeons Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong and Dr. Pey-Yi Kevin Lin, using proper techniques, the risks can be greatly minimized.

Chicago Breast & Body’s Advanced BBL Safety Protocol
As Chicago’s leading BBL surgeons, our surgeons have implemented a comprehensive safety protocol that exceeds industry standards. Our approach includes:
1. Ultrasound-Guided Fat Injection
The most significant advancement in BBL safety is the use of real-time ultrasound guidance during surgery. This technology allows our BBL surgeons to:
- Visualize exactly where the cannula (injection tool) is placed
- Ensure fat is only injected into the safe subcutaneous space above the muscle
- Avoid critical blood vessels that could lead to complications
- Minimize risk of fat embolism, the most serious BBL risk
Studies show that ultrasound-guided BBLs have reported zero fatalities when properly performed, making this technique the new standard for safety.

2. Monitored General Anesthesia
All Brazilian Butt Lift procedures at Chicago Breast and Body Aesthetics are performed under carefully monitored general anesthesia by board-certified anesthesiologists, ensuring:
- Optimal surgical conditions for your surgeon
- Complete patient comfort during the procedure
- Continuous monitoring of vital signs
- Immediate response capability for any concerns
3. “Closed System” Fat Processing
We use what we refer to as a “closed system”, meaning once the fat is suctioned out it goes directly into a brand new canister. The fat is preserved in sterile canisters, keeping it from ever being exposed to air. The fat is carefully injected back into the desired areas through the closed system.
- Fat is suctioned directly into new, sterile canisters
- The harvested fat is never exposed to air, reducing contamination risk
- The sterilized fat is transferred through a closed system into the desired areas
- This system minimizes infection risk and preserves fat viability
4. Expert Surgical Technique & Experience
The surgical instruments are carefully selected to minimize risk. It’s extremely important your surgeon knows which techniques are best and has performed many Brazilian Butt Lifts safely. Remember, any surgical procedure big or small will have some level of risk. Your surgeon should explain the risks during your consultation.
- Carefully selecting surgical instruments designed for maximum safety
- Keeping all fat injections strictly above the muscle in the subcutaneous space
- Using cannulas with specific designs to enhance safety
- Precise control of injection angles and depths
