That prompts this TikToker, whose clip went viral on Reddit, to make the young women in a video he uploaded to TikTok.
She issued a PSA about BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) procedures, which she says require a lot of maintenance and come with a list of downsides. She also said she wishes she hadn’t finished her work at such a young age, and that she had someone in her corner who suggested she wait before they opened it up and tweaked it.
“Things I wish a BBL girl had told me before I got my body fixed!” she writes on a text overlay as she records herself in front of what looks like a locker room mirror at her gym, then sits in her car.
The first warning she gave viewers is that after undergoing the procedure, they can expect to “put on weight drastically” when they do.

He says that weight gain occurs horribly in the area where fat is applied. She added that if you don’t work out consistently after taking BBL, it will distort over time, where the butt will start to look like a “sawtooth … like more of a hip and then your legs.”

The TikToker then went on to say that another downside is that cellulite seems to be more persistent, meaning that if you do get some, it’s much harder to get rid of and may require additional surgery for people. who don’t want to rock that dimple look.
And then there’s the stupidity that could come with getting a BBL. She states that if people aren’t up when it comes to maintaining their bodies, it will inevitably sag: “If you don’t maintain your butt, it will start to sag.”

He also said that if you’re not very conscious about your figure, the parts of your body where fat was removed to create the BBL will start to look a bit “distorted”.
The plastic surgery patient went on to give an example of what she means: “I don’t know if you’ve seen it when girls gain weight, their stomach starts to stick out, but they like the abs sketch and still like it looks weird?”

It says your belly will be big, but there will still be abs ahead. (That’s what you’ll look like E. Hoda inside Street Fighter 5.)
There were various issues with other parts of her body that she wanted to address as well that had nothing to do with her BBL, but rather her breast augmentation.
“I wish I had been told the importance of under the muscle and over the muscle,” she stated before going on to say that having had work done on her breasts before having children, she would like to opt for an under the muscle. Look.

She then stressed to the “young girls” that they should wait until their “female bodies” come in before doing any work on themselves, as the changes their bodies are undergoing may conflict with the slices, pinches , pressures and other performed. on them when they go under the knife.
“Once you’ve made it, it’s so hard to undo it all,” she advises the young women. She also said that because “society’s beauty standards” are always changing, people should really think about why they decide to do work on themselves in the first place.

“I wish someone would just tell me to wait,” she says to the camera after pausing to count her words, seemingly regretting going under the knife.

He then went on to say that he gives everyone all the pros and cons, but went on to say that the “only plus” is that the project is “aesthetically pleasing, right? If you’re really, really, really insecure about something I’d say yes, fix it, but I wouldn’t advise doing it if it’s just petite and small, don’t do it.’
The more she discussed plastic surgery, as someone who had undergone multiple procedures herself, the cases where she thought it was worth it seemed to shrink and shrink.

One aspect of cosmetic surgery he said people might want to consider is if, say, they lost a bunch of weight and then had some excess skin that they wanted to “revitalize” afterwards — that’s what it was all about.

But in the end, she told “all the girls” that they should stay away from putting their bodies under the knife as she now finds herself having to “overturn everything that [she] He just got’ when he was 23 going on 24, adding that in just a few years (he’s 28) he found himself with a world of regrets.
“If I had just waited and worked out, I would never have touched my body. I would enjoy my small breasts, I would try to build up my bum a bit more because I didn’t miss them, I just wanted the dips in my hips Filled in, but the thing is… once they start putting fat that belongs somewhere else, those fat cells they live and when you gain weight everything gains weight,” she repeated again towards the end of her clip.

What was especially bad for her, she says, is that she had the procedure “under the weather of COVID,” and that because she lived where she ate and drank “all the time,” she gained a lot of weight in areas I’d rather not gain.
Redditors who saw her video seemed to agree with the woman’s stance, stating that it seems more and more people are choosing to get elective cosmetic procedures — especially those that are expensive and difficult to maintain.
