Socialite and music entrepreneur Stephanie Benson has cautioned against the popular cosmetic procedure known as Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), emphasizing potential health risks and a significant chance of death.
Speaking on TV3 about her health challenges and recovery from a recent surgical procedure, Benson expressed her strong stance on prioritizing health.
She disclosed, “The chances of you dying on Liposuction is a lot less than going to do a BBL. BBL is at least a 70% chance you might pass away.”
Benson, who recently underwent gallbladder removal surgery while battling cancer, emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle before considering any surgical enhancements.
She encouraged women to focus on their well-being, cautioning against the allure of cosmetic procedures without addressing underlying health concerns.
Highlighting that reputable surgeons in the UK and America discourage BBL procedures, Benson shared a personal tragedy of a close friend who lost her life due to the same cosmetic surgery.
The Brazilian Butt Lift, a procedure aimed at augmenting the size and shape of the buttocks, has become increasingly popular globally.
Stephanie Benson’s warning serves as a timely reminder for individuals, especially women, to prioritize health and make informed decisions when considering cosmetic procedures, urging a careful evaluation of associated risks before opting for surgeries with potentially life-threatening consequences.
