A MASSEUSE has shared the grim reality of getting a Brazilian Butt Lift.
Neiden, from the UK, took to social media to share her experience as she had many clients with BBLs needing massages.

She was left horrified by what she saw[/caption]
The woman had worked with numerous people who had the procedure done, and most of them dealt with negative consequences.
She said: “To start off, what I’ve seen are gaping wound holes.
Speaker 1: gaping wound holes like they’re open.
“Why would you call me to come and give you a massage while the holes are gaping and they’re open?”
Neiden said that often the wounds aren’t even dressed in bandages and that when she is massaging the area, air comes gushing out of the holes.
The masseuse said that many of her clients with a BBL end up in constant pain and are unable to walk properly because of it.
“It’s just agonising pain,” she added. “Not being able to walk, not being able to sit, not being able to lie down.”
Another grim reality was that many people were unable to clean their bum properly because of the procedure.
“It’s a breeding ground for infection,” she claimed.
Naiden said these were just some of the side effects, and that wasn’t even the worst of it.
She said other clients have told her they needed blood transfusions and needed to be resuscitated all for a ‘big bum.’
The biggest shock for Naiden was that many of these women had kids at home and were risking their lives for their looks.
She added: “I know the streets are hard but you don’t need the big bum to survive.”
The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @neidenefitness with over 490k views and 38k likes.
People were quick to share their thoughts in the comments.
One person wrote: “Having a BBL sounds like a disease.”
Another commented: “Whoever I know who has had a BBL have all said the same it’s so scary.”
What are Brazilian Butt Lifts and why are they so popular?
Buttock enlargement surgery – known as a Brazilian butt-lift (BBL) – is used to make the bum look bigger, rounded and lifted.
Surgeons transfer fat, inject filler or insert silicone-filled implants.
It is the fastest growing cosmetic procedure but also one of the most dangerous, according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).
Many patients are travelling to the likes of Turkey or seeking out unregistered surgeons in the UK and are not given full information on the risks.
BBLs carry the highest risk of all cosmetic surgeries – with more than one death occurring per 4,000 procedures.
Due to celebrities undergoing such ops, many women are hoping to emulate their looks.
Consultant clinical psychologist Dr Anu Sayal-Bennett, a chartered member of the British Psychological Society, told the BBC: “Despite there being so much about body positivity, there are pressures for women – and men too – to look a certain way.”
Many people travel abroad for the procedure because it is cheaper and advertising is “terribly seductive”, combined with the idea of a beach holiday, added Dr Sayal-Bennett.
“I didn’t even get a surgery but I feel traumatised from the stories at this point,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “BBLs are dystopian.”
“BBLs need to stop,” claimed a fifth
Someone else added: “Please listen to her don’t get it. If you get any complications the NHS or even any private health service in the UK will refuse to fix it.”
