A well-proportioned body isn’t about one ideal. It’s about balance. For patients looking to enhance their curves while refining their silhouette, the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has become a leading body contouring procedure. But at Face N Body Aesthetics, we take it one step further with ultrasound-guided BBL, a technique that prioritizes safety, precision, and long-term results.
This technique uses your own fat, collected through liposuction, to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks. What sets it apart is the use of real-time ultrasound. With this imaging, Dr. Cheah can see exactly where the fat is transferred, which lowers the risk of complications and allows for more precise, natural-looking results.

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a two-part procedure designed to enhance the shape and projection of the buttocks. First, liposuction is used to remove excess fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. Then, the fat is processed and carefully injected into the buttocks to improve volume, shape, and symmetry.
This technique provides a natural alternative to implants, and because it uses your own tissue, the results often feel more like your body, just better balanced. The ultrasound-guided BBL adds another layer of control, helping ensure fat is placed in the safest, most anatomically correct layer of tissue.
The primary concern with traditional BBL surgery has always been the risk of fat entering a blood vessel, which can lead to serious complications. Ultrasound-guided fat transfer helps reduce this risk by providing the surgeon with a live view of the fat as it’s injected.
At Face N Body, we utilize advanced ultrasound technology to visualize the injection site in real-time. This allows your surgeon to place fat precisely into the subcutaneous space, avoiding deeper connective tissues and muscle.
This technique represents the most current safety standard in aesthetic surgery, especially in high-volume areas like the gluteal region, where facial fat grafting protocols don’t apply.
An ultrasound-guided BBL does more than enhance the buttocks. It also reshapes nearby areas to improve balance and proportion. Depending on what you’re hoping to achieve, liposuction can add volume to flatter areas, smooth out hip dips, and contour the waist, flanks, or thighs. The goal is to achieve a more fluid transition from your lower back to your glutes, resulting in a shape that feels right for your frame.
Because the fat comes from your own body, the result tends to look and feel more natural.
This advanced approach to soft tissue augmentation offers multiple benefits:
You may be a good candidate for ultrasound-guided BBL if you:
This procedure is not ideal for patients with bleeding disorders, severe medical conditions, or insufficient donor fat. During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will review your medical history, assess your anatomy, and talk through all your options.
After your procedure, you’ll be placed in a compression garment and given instructions on how to sit, sleep, and support healing in the injection area. Swelling and bruising are normal and may last a few weeks. Most patients return to light activity within 7–10 days and resume full activity after 4–6 weeks.
You’ll need to avoid direct pressure on the treated area (including sitting on your buttocks) for the first few weeks. We’ll provide cushions, positioning tips, and a full list of do’s and don’ts tailored to fat transfer recovery.
You’ll see initial results once the swelling subsides, but because some fat naturally reabsorbs, your final shape will take approximately 3–6 months to settle in after surgery. With proper care and stable weight, results can last for many years.
Your new contour will look softer, more lifted, and better balanced with your natural shape. And because the fat is your own, the results tend to feel natural, move naturally, and complement the rest of your figure.
At Face N Body Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery, Dr. Cheah combines modern techniques, surgical expertise, and a commitment to patient safety. His use of ultrasound guidance for every BBL sets a higher standard for care, one that minimizes risk and maximizes precision.
You’re not just getting a procedure. You’re getting a plan designed around your unique goals, anatomy, and safety profile. In a boutique, accredited setting, your outcome isn’t rushed or cookie-cutter. It’s shaped thoughtfully for a result that feels like you, only better.
Ultrasound allows the surgeon to see exactly where the fat is being placed, reducing the risk of injecting into or near a blood vessel, which can lead to serious complications. It’s now considered the safest approach for this procedure.
Approximately 60–80% of the transferred fat typically survives, depending on the technique and aftercare. That’s why the injection site and recovery are so important.
Yes. BBL is often combined with liposuction, tummy tuck, or breast surgery as part of a Mommy Makeover plan.
Your BBL procedure may require the use of drains. Small liposuction incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures. Dr. Cheah will review all post-operative care in detail.
The fat that survives becomes part of your body permanently. However, significant weight changes can affect the result, so maintaining a stable weight is essential.
