Brazilian buttlifts are becoming more popular. Over 40,000 Brazilian buttlifts were safely performed in the last year.

Oklahoma nurse Rolanda Hutton alleges in a lawsuit that a botched procedure left her in a wheelchair — a claim her surgeon says is without merit.
“I try not to get emotional when people talk to me about this, but it’s hard,”Hutton stated.
