When it comes to achieving beautifully sculpted curves, the term “BBL” (Brazilian Butt Lift) has become well‑known. But at our practice, we’re proud to offer something beyond the standard: the Ultrasound‑Guided BBL, performed by Dr Scott A. Brenman. This advanced body contouring procedure offers improved safety, precision, and results. If you’ve been considering buttock enhancement, here’s what you should know for November.
What is an Ultrasound‑Guided BBL?
A traditional Brazilian Butt Lift involves harvesting fat via liposuction from donor sites (abdomen, hips, thighs, back) and then injecting that purified fat into the buttocks to enhance shape and volume. At the Pennsylvania Centre for Plastic Surgery, we elevate this technique by using real‑time ultrasound imaging during the fat‑grafting phase. This means we can visualize exactly where the cannula is, ensure fat placement in the correct tissue layers, and avoid injecting into unsafe zones or unintended tissue planes. The result? A procedure with greater confidence in safety and outcomes.
Why the ultrasound component matters
- Enhanced safety: The ultrasound lets Dr Brenman see beneath the surface and avoid injecting fat into large veins or spaces that may risk complications.
- Improved aesthetic results: By seeing exactly where the fat is going, we can achieve smoother contours, better symmetry, and natural‑looking buttock shape.
- Tailored treatment: Each patient’s anatomy is unique—ultrasound helps tailor the fat placement strategy specifically to you.
- Less downtime: With more precise technique, your recovery may be smoother and faster than with less‑advanced methods.
Is this procedure right for you?
If you’re considering buttock augmentation and meet the following criteria, you may be a strong candidate:
- You have sufficient donor‑fat areas (abdomen, hips, thighs, back) for harvest.
- You’re generally healthy, non‑smoker, and understand realistic expectations.
- You’re committed to a recovery plan (avoiding prolonged sitting on the buttocks, wearing recommended garments).
- You’re seeking a long‑lasting result and are willing to follow post‑operative guidelines.
What to expect during and after the procedure
Before surgery: Dr Brenman’s team conducts a detailed consultation where you discuss goals, identify donor sites, review your anatomy, and get a personalized surgical plan.
On surgery day: Under anesthesia (local + sedation or general, depending on your case), liposuction harvests your fat. The fat is processed/purified and then injected into the buttocks under ultrasound guidance.
Recovery phase:
- Expect some swelling, bruising and discomfort for the first 1‑2 weeks.
- You’ll be advised to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for a prescribed period and use a special cushion if sitting is necessary.
- Compression garments and limited activity help the fat integrate and heal properly.
- Most return to light activities in 1‑2 weeks, full results appear over months as swelling subsides and fat settles.
Results: The goal is fuller, well‑shaped buttocks with smoother contours and durable volume. The ultrasound guidance adds an extra layer of safety and aesthetic precision.
