Placing the adits (small incisions where the infiltration cannula is placed) in strategic locations above and below the buttocks and directing the cannula away fro the “danger zones” where large blood vessels are located in the muscle.
By infiltrating the fat at a low pressure (i.e., not forcing it into the subcutaneous space) as well as not “overfilling “the space under high pressure, this decreases the chance of placing fat into the muscle.
By creating these tunnels, it makes it easier to place fat in a safer manner.
Again, this technology helps the surgeon make tunnels (potential spaces) in the adipose (fatty) layer between the skin and muscle. Utilizing a power-assist device which vibrates the infiltration cannula during tunneling and fat infiltration into the subcutaneous space.Utilization of a large sized infiltration cannula (#4 or greater) to place fat into the subcutaneous layer of adipose tissue, thus decreasing risk of lacerating (cutting) a blood vessel which can lead to fat embolism.This technique avoids injection of fat into blood vessels located in the muscles which can lead to a lethal fat embolism. Autologous (using the patient’s own fat) fat transfer to the subcutaneous layer ONLY (space between skin and gluteus muscle), NEVER injecting fat into or under the gluteus muscle.Dr Lowney has performed over 1000 procedures utilizing this technique which incorporates the following principles: This group of 15 world-renowned surgeons have performed thousands of Brazilian Butt Lifts and have pooled their wisdom regarding the safest way to perform this procedure to avoid complications including a fat embolism which can be lethal. Lowney as well as a group of Plastic Surgeons and Cosmetic Surgeons in “Dr Miami Squad”. “SAFER BBL “ is the trademarked name of a technique utilized by Dr Mark X. The combination of these two procedures results in a “snatched waist”, artistically sculpted abdomen, reduced love handles, and a perkier, more sensuous and youthful buttocks. Next, the fat is purified and immediately reinjected into the buttocks using the “SAFER BBL” technique. Essentially, a LIPO360 consists of liposuction of the entire “core” which includes the upper and lower abdomen, hip roll areas (or love handles) and upper bra bulge areas (fat underneath bra).
SAFER BBL actually combines 2 cosmetic procedures: a “LIPO 360” with a “FAT TRANSFER TO BUTTOCKS”. This less invasive approach results in a youthful, pronounced, perky buttocks for patients who want to improve their flat bottoms or accentuate their natural curves. Lowney performs the “SAFER BBL” procedure, or a less invasive surgery than the traditional Brazilian Butt Lift, by substituting general anesthesia for local anesthesia using IV Conscious Sedation and tumescent liposuction.
