There's been a lot of chatter online about the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and whether it leaves you with a lingering, unpleasant odor. It’s a topic that’s been whispered about in beauty forums, TikTok videos, and Instagram DMs, causing unnecessary anxiety for those considering this transformative procedure. So, let’s clear the air—literally and figuratively.

Where Does This Myth Come From?

The idea that a BBL might leave you smelling bad is rooted in a mix of misconceptions and misunderstandings. Like most myths, it’s been blown out of proportion. The truth is, if you’re hearing stories about bad smells post-BBL, it’s usually because something else is going on—something that has nothing to do with the BBL itself.

Let’s break it down:

1. Post-Surgery Healing Process: After any surgical procedure, your body goes through a natural healing process. This includes a bit of inflammation, minor discharge, and the body working overtime to repair itself. During this time, there might be a temporary, mild odor as the body expels dead cells and fluids. It’s completely normal and typically resolves itself as you heal.
2. Improper Aftercare: The number one cause of any unwanted smell post-BBL is poor aftercare. The area needs to be kept clean and dry to prevent bacterial growth. If someone skips their hygiene routine, bacteria can thrive in the moist environment under bandages or compression garments. This is why we stress the importance of following post-op instructions to the letter.
3. Clothing Choices: Wearing tight, non-breathable clothing too soon after surgery can trap moisture and create an environment where bacteria love to hang out. This can contribute to odor as well. Instead, loose-fitting, breathable fabrics are your best friend during recovery.
4. Bacterial Infection: Any persistent or foul odor is not typical and should be a red flag. This could indicate an infection, which requires immediate medical attention. With proper care and cleanliness, this is a rare occurrence, but it’s essential to be aware.

Busting the Myth

So, what’s the real story? The truth is, a BBL in and of itself does NOT cause a bad smell. With proper care and attention to hygiene, you won’t have any issues. The stories you hear are almost always tied to other factors, like not following aftercare instructions or developing an infection due to neglect.
