Disgusting ‘BBL smell' side effect might make people reconsider getting popular surgery
The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) surgery is a procedure that enhances the size and shape of someone's rear end through a fat transfer.
It's often considered a dangerous procedure by experts since there's a possibility of death, infection and more.
Not only is a BBL surgery risky — but there's one bizarre, rather gross, side effect that comes from it that might make potential patients reconsider getting it done.
'The BBL smell is real,' Dr. Eric Anderson from Chicago-based Impressions Face + Body told the Daily Mail.
This unexpected side effect is often described as a musty or sour smell, according to South Shore Plastic Surgery.
The team of experts there said a smell is often expected for BBL patients after sweating or sitting for long periods.
But there are a variety of other factors, like tissue death — which is a BBL complication — and unhygienic habits, that could cause someone with a BBL to have a smelly behind, according to Anderson.
If a patient was 'overfilled with fat during the procedure,' fat necrosis — which is when fatty tissue in the butt dies — can occur.
As a result, a rancid smell can develop.
'When there is more fat in an area than the blood supply allows, the fat will die through a smelly process called fat necrosis, which can lead to infections that need antibiotics, hospitalizations, and even sepsis,' he told the outlet.
Another more obvious cause is that BBL patients might struggle cleaning their derrières.
If patients leave any residual stool or urine on the skin — bacteria can grow, which will cause a stinky smell, according to South Shore Plastic Surgery.
Cevre Hospital recommends that people with a BBL use gentle, fragrance-free wet wipes or a bidet to properly clean themselves after using the bathroom.
While many potential risks come with getting a BBL, one woman revealed that she underwent two BBL surgeries because the first one 'died.'
'A lot of the fat that's re-injected into your buttocks actually dies — like 50% or sometimes more,' Scarlet Black said in a TikTok video. 'For [this BBL] we focused on lifting [my butt] up and putting volume in it.'
Black doesn't seem to mind having to go under the knife twice for the same procedure because she apparently has spent $36,000 on plastic surgeries to achieve her dream body.

7 Home Hazards You Should Never Ignore
There's plenty of danger lurking the second you step outside your house. But what about the dangers lurking inside your home? There are many hidden hazards you might not even be aware of. These dangers can lead to injury, cost you money, or worse, cause serious long-term health issues. The good news? These risks don't have to remain a mystery. We asked the experts to weigh in. Here are the top home hazards you may be overlooking, but should never ignore. While you might just think of mold as that black stuff that shows up in your shower when you don't turn the fan on—and that goes away with bleach—mold exposure is truly dangerous. According to Sabrina Solt, NMD, it is one of the biggest hazards in your home. 'Mold isn't just gross—it's a serious health disruptor. Long-term exposure has been linked to brain fog, fatigue, respiratory issues, and gut dysbiosis.' So, how can you tell if your home has mold? 'Mold loves moisture, darkness, and poor ventilation,' says Solt. 'Common hiding spots include under sinks, behind drywall after leaks, inside HVAC systems, around window frames, in basements, and under carpets. Even your washing machine seal can harbor mold if not cleaned regularly.' Keep in mind that once you've identified the source, it will likely require professional remediation. Note that if you're a renter, it's likely your landlord is required to cover any costs involved in mold removal, according to Brooke Soliz Bremmer, ESQ, habitability attorney with Sweet James. While seeing an occasional bug is unpleasant, chronic infestations can be deleterious to your health. 'Rats, mice, cockroaches, and bedbugs don't just make life uncomfortable—they carry disease and trigger asthma and allergies,' warns Bremmer. So, if these unwelcome guests keep coming back (even if you set out traps), it's crucial to call in an exterminator. Was there a recent hailstorm, or did your neighbor's kid crack your window during backyard baseball practice? While this is certainly inconvenient, you need to replace that broken window as soon as possible. 'Broken windows or unsecured entry points are security risks, but can allow in moisture, pests, or prevent proper ventilation,' notes the attorney. Did you recently move into an older home filled with charm? It could also be filled with a major health hazard: lead from old paint. 'Lead-based paint is common in buildings built before 1978. Lead dust from chipping paint is toxic, especially for children, causing developmental delays and neurological damage,' Bremmer explains. While you might not think much of this because the home has likely been painted many times since lead paint was banned in 1978, layers of paint can crack or chip, exposing you and your family to lead dust. So, if your paint is looking a little old, think of this as the perfect excuse to give your home a fresh coat. The presence of asbestos itself isn't dangerous, but Bremmer tells me, when disturbed by leaks, repairs, or renovations, the fibers can become airborne and cause long-term lung damage or even cancer. 'This material is often found in popcorn ceilings or insulation in buildings pre-1980.' So, keep this in mind whether you are doing something minor like installing a ceiling fan or something major like a gut renovation of your kitchen. If your home has asbestos, you cannot do these DIYs yourself, and you will need to call in pros for asbestos remediation. Are you a renter? Your landlord is required to inform you, per EPA and OSHA guidelines, if there is asbestos behind your walls. Old carpet is unattractive, but you might not realize it can also be quite dangerous. Bremmer suggests replacing it if you have health issues. 'Old carpet with a dust mite or allergen buildup can trigger asthma, eczema, or allergy flare-ups. This is especially common in long-term rentals where carpets aren't replaced.' If that isn't in your budget, having a professional deep-clean your carpets can help until you are able to replace them. You might not give a second thought to what type of outlets you have, but ungrounded outlets can be very problematic, reveals Bremmer. 'Especially in older buildings, these outlets can cause electrical shock or appliance damage. Not having grounded outlets near water (bathroom/kitchen) is also a major oversight.' So, how do you know if an outlet is grounded? It's easy—grounded outlets have Test and Reset buttons. If those are missing, the outlet isn't grounded. Read the original article on Real Simple
