These risks include the following:

- Skin discoloration
- Death
As Kerr underwent the BBL, she arranged to have fat from other parts of her body transferred to her butt. However, amid the injection process, the 31-year-old ultimately passed away from a clot that reached her lungs.
Efforts to revive her once medical officials realized something went wrong sadly didn’t pan out. The official cause of Kerr’s death now stands as blockage of a blood vessel in her lung, along with pulmonary thromboembolism.
In further remarks, Lake suggested that sharing more information about the grave risks of BBLs can save lives in the long run.
A troubling history
