A woman who spent $15,000 on a BBL has admitted that she bitterly regrets the procedure after revealing she can no longer fit into plane seats or jeans.
Ava Louise, 25, has claimed that her Brazilian Butt Lift has led to a whole host of daily struggles including weight gain as well as the need to throw away all of her jeans as they no longer fit.
The content creator, from New Jersey, got a BBL at the end of 2021 to get back with her ex who she claims told her she needed the surgery.
She said that the procedure had led to nothing but embarrassment as she claimed her ‘entire life fell apart.’
Since her operation, Ava says she has gained 30 pounds and was forced to reverse her BBL through weight loss techniques such as exercise and dieting, which took her nearly an entire year.
She admitted that the surgery was the biggest regret of her life as she was faced with embarrassing situations such as not being able to fit into a plane seat.
Ava took to TikTok to talk about her surgery regrets where she explained: ‘I was forced to fly economy after booking higher in order to make it home and my butt did get stuck in a seat.
‘I had to have the passenger next to me help pull me out once we landed.
‘I thought they were going to have to call the fire department to cut me out of my seat. It was so mortifying.’
She shared: ‘Everything that has happened to me has been so embarrassing. I can’t even wear jeans anymore.
‘I had to order XL jeans to even get them over my cheeks, but then they’d be massive in the waist. I only fit in leggings.
‘I had to dress with no sense of style because the only thing that fit me was stretchy leggings.’
Elaborating further, she confessed: ‘My life was fine before my BBL – I was just very insecure about myself, so I never really felt good enough, and thought any problems I faced in life had to do with my body, when in reality, that was not the case.
‘My life after my BBL was awful. I got sexualized everywhere I went. I never really felt safe.
‘I could not wear normal regular clothes, because if I wore sweats, I would look fat, so I constantly had to wear skintight revealing clothing to look smaller.
‘I got no respect when I would try and shop in nice stores. People stopped calling me pretty.’
Ava concluded: ‘No one noticed anything about me besides my butt. The surgery also didn’t fix any of my insecurities and left me permanently mentally scarred.
‘If anything, I felt more insecure after getting the surgery because I no longer could fit in anything but Fashion Nova and stretchy clothes.
‘It was hell. I gained weight so easily because of the BBL and ended up looking horrific. My entire life fell apart.’
