Vice back at it with ground breaking journalism

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"

Goodbye internet

I looked at the subreddit for bolted on butts, and they're so gross.

Big Black Ligma?

Hahaha, I don't know why, but this absolutely made my day.

The BBL smell, rotting fat - you can't make this shit up.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Seems like a very mean spirited and spiteful person would have their day made by other people having problems.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Eh, when it's problems that could have easily been avoided by not doing something completely unnecessary I lose sympathy

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

Look at this reddit comment of someone who had one.

The BBL smell, rotting fat

You forgot the inability to properly wipe their ass (also mentioned in the article).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

You can't even sit down for 6-8 weeks after the procedure. Like WTAF.

Reminded me of bart

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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 Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

For those that also had no idea what a bbl is.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I'm glad. I've seen it a few times and that wasn't my first guess.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I'm Brazilian and I don't know what a Brazilian butt lift is

[–] [email protected] 70 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't even know how many a Brazilian is.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I'm not sure

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I think they inject it, but your way sounds more fun.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Inject = Shove through a small needle :D

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

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