8:30 Window on the World
The Brazilian Butt Lift or as it's more commonly known, the BBL, is one of the most dangerous cosmetic procedures in the world but that hasn't stopped it becoming one of the most requested procedures. Posts on this type of cosmetic surgery are all over social media which show before and after photos to portray this popular body type. Tonight's Window on the World follows one woman considering a BBL. But before she makes a decision, she speaks to social media influencers, her close friends and medical professionals who help guide her through her choice.
