What is SAFE BBL?
SAFE BBL is a refined approach to the traditional Brazilian Butt Lift, designed to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks. SAFE stands for Separation, Aspiration, and Fat Equalization. Dr. Tehrani goes one step further and uses an ultrasound to ensure all the fat is injected above the gluteal muscle. Ultrasound guided BBL is the only way to nearly eliminate the chance of fat emboli during injection. Dr. Tehrani identifies the muscle layer and the subcutaneous layers with the ultrasound and then injects the fat strategically into the various anatomical zones of the buttock to achieve the desired enhancement.
Unlike conventional methods, SAFE BBL minimizes the risk of complications by ensuring precise fat grafting and reducing the likelihood of fat embolism. Dr. Tehrani is skilled in performing SAFE BBL, offering patients a safer option for achieving their desired body contour.
Who is a Good Candidate for SAFE BBL in Orange County?
A good candidate for SAFE BBL in Orange County is versatile, including individuals who:
- are in good overall health
- have realistic expectations
- desire a fuller, more contoured buttock area
Ideal candidates typically have excess fat in other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, which can be harvested and transferred to the buttocks. Candidates must have a stable weight and a commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-procedure.
What to Expect During a Newport Beach SAFE BBL Consultation
During your SAFE BBL consultation at the Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Tehrani will thoroughly evaluate your medical history and overall health and explain the SAFE BBL process in detail, including how fat is harvested, processed, and reinjected to create a natural, enhanced contour.
Patients can also view before-and-after photos of previous patients, helping them visualize the potential results. This consultation is an excellent time to ask questions and address concerns about the procedure.
The SAFE BBL Procedure
The SAFE BBL procedure involves three key steps: Separation, Aspiration, and Fat Equalization. First, Dr. Tehrani uses specialized instruments to separate the fat from the surrounding tissues in the donor area, which reduces trauma and improves fat survival.
Next, the fat is gently aspirated or suctioned out before being carefully processed and purified. Finally, during the Fat Equalization phase, the purified fat is meticulously reinjected into the buttocks in small, controlled amounts. This is done under ultrasound guidance to avoid injecting into arteries and veins.
Recovering From SAFE BBL
Recovery from SAFE BBL typically involves a few weeks of downtime; patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in both the donor and injection sites. It’s essential to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for at least two weeks to allow the transferred fat cells to establish a blood supply and survive.
Wearing a compression garment, as recommended, can help reduce swelling and support the healing process. Most patients can return to light activities within a week but should avoid strenuous exercise for about four to six weeks.
Results of SAFE BBL
The results of SAFE BBL are often long-lasting and can be seen gradually as the swelling subsides and the fat cells settle into their new location. Patients typically notice an immediate improvement in the shape and volume of their buttocks, with final results becoming more apparent over several months.
