If you’re exploring ways to enhance and reshape your buttocks, you’ve probably come across various options, including the traditional Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). However, there’s an updated and safer alternative called superficial gluteal lipofilling (SGL), which has been gaining recognition for its improved safety measures.
Here at Centre for Surgery, our team of surgeons have contributed to the development of an innovative ultrasound-guided BBL technique. This advanced form of SGL uses ultrasound technology to precisely guide the injection of fat above the gluteal muscle layer. This not only provides a natural-looking enhancement to your buttocks but also significantly increases the safety of the procedure.
You can feel confident choosing us for your Brazilian Butt Lift. We’re recognised leaders in the field, and with us, you’re in the capable hands of experienced plastic surgeons who prioritise your safety and well-being.
Our commitment to safety has led to multiple contributions to UK safety guidelines on Brazilian Butt Lift procedures. These contributions have been instrumental in lifting the previous UK ban on this type of cosmetic surgery. Our ultrasound-guided BBL technique prioritises both patient safety and remarkable aesthetic results, quickly becoming a standard in the field of cosmetic surgery.

Superficial Gluteal Lipofilling (SGL) – The Safer and More Effective Update to Traditional BBL
When it comes to enhancing the buttocks, Superficial Gluteal Lipofilling (SGL), also known as gluteal fat grafting, is the way forward. This is the only technique we use for Brazilian Butt Lifts. Unlike traditional methods that involve injecting fat into the muscle layer, or using buttock implants, SGL is safer and delivers more effective results.
How Does Fat Grafting Work?
The idea behind fat grafting is simple but effective. We first use liposuction to remove fat from parts of your body where there is an excess, like the abdomen or thighs. This extracted fat is then purified to ensure only the best quality fat cells are used. Once ready, the purified fat is injected into specific areas under the skin to enhance volume and improve shape. In the context of buttock augmentation, this fat is strategically injected above the muscles in the buttocks and hips.

The Role of Ultrasound Scanning
The procedure is guided by ultrasound scanning technology to ensure the utmost safety and effectiveness. Before the injections are made, the surgeon uses ultrasound to get detailed images of the anatomy beneath your skin. This technology allows us to see exactly where the fat needs to go, ensuring none of it enters the muscle layer. This precise method allows us to inject the fat just under the skin but always above the gluteal muscle, making it a safer and more effective technique.
The ultrasound-guided approach ensures that the procedure is not just about enhancing your looks, but also about preserving your safety and well-being. We believe that a beautiful result is a safe result, and our commitment to this approach sets us apart in the field of cosmetic surgery.
Ultrasound-Guided BBL Technique for Superficial Gluteal Lipofilling: A Safer, More Precise Approach
When it comes to performing Superficial Gluteal Lipofilling (SGL), our surgeons employ an ultrasound-guided BBL technique. This advanced approach is not only safer than traditional Brazilian Butt Lift methods but also results in a more aesthetically pleasing contour.
How Does the Ultrasound-Guided Technique Work?
Using ultrasound imaging, our surgeons can see in real-time the exact anatomy of your buttocks, right down to the muscle layers. This level of precision allows them to inject fat into very specific locations just above the muscle. The advantage is twofold: it minimises the risks associated with traditional methods that inject fat into the muscle, and it allows for more finely-tuned placement of fat cells.
Why Is It Safer?
Traditional Brazilian Butt Lift procedures that involve intramuscular fat injections have been known to come with risks, including the possibility of fat embolism, a condition that can be life-threatening. By injecting fat only above the muscle layer, our ultrasound-guided BBL technique significantly lowers these risks, making it a safer alternative.
Better Contouring for Natural-Looking Results
Beyond safety, the ultrasound-guided technique allows for a level of detail and control that’s hard to achieve with traditional methods. Our surgeons can see exactly where the fat is going, allowing them to distribute it more evenly for a smoother, more natural-looking enhancement.
Through years of experience and an unwavering commitment to patient safety, we have developed this cutting-edge technique that is rapidly setting new standards in the field of cosmetic surgery.
Superficial Gluteal Lipofilling: The Safest BBL Technique Available
When it comes to Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedures, safety should be the number one priority. Centre for Surgery is at the forefront of offering the safest BBL option—Superficial Gluteal Lipofilling (SGL)—using ultrasound-guided techniques. This state-of-the-art method has not only set new safety benchmarks but is also the only BBL procedure that has received approval from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).

Safety First: Traditional BBL vs. Ultrasound-Guided SGL
Traditional BBL surgeries have been associated with serious complications, including a risk of fatality, with reported figures indicating that around one in every 2,000 patients may experience severe complications. In stark contrast, BBL procedures performed using the ultrasound-guided SGL technique have never resulted in any fatalities. This makes it a far safer alternative to traditional methods.
The Importance of Ultrasound Guidance
The ultrasound-guided SGL technique allows the surgeon to visualize the anatomy in real-time, ensuring precise placement of fat above the gluteal muscle layer. This substantially reduces the risk of complications such as fat embolism, which can occur when fat is inadvertently injected into the muscle layer.
Endorsed by BAAPS
The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) has given its seal of approval to the ultrasound-guided SGL method. This endorsement is a testament to the technique’s safety profile and effectiveness, making it the most secure choice for those considering a Brazilian Butt Lift.
Our commitment to safety and excellence makes us a leader in the field. Our pioneering ultrasound-guided technique not only ensures optimal aesthetic results but also prioritises patient safety above all. Choose the safest BBL technique by opting for ultrasound-guided Superficial Gluteal Lipofilling at our Baker Street clinic.
Centre for Surgery: Leading the Way in Safe BBL Practices with Rigorous Guidelines for SGL
Centre for Surgery is a pioneer in the field of Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedures in the UK. Our surgeons have made a significant contribution to shaping the national guidelines on BBL surgeries, issued in 2023, setting the benchmark for safety and quality in Subcutaneous Gluteal Lifts (SGL). We are committed to ensuring that these guidelines are upheld across the UK to secure the highest quality of care for patients.
Why Our SGL Technique is Superior
Historically, BBL surgeries have come with a host of complications, primarily because the fat was injected deep into the buttock muscles. This carried a high risk of fat embolism, as fat could leak into large blood vessels. Sadly, this led to severe health complications and even fatalities.
The shift towards ultrasound-guided SGL techniques has radically improved the safety profile of BBL procedures. Unlike traditional methods, the fat is injected superficially, just below the skin and above the muscle layer. Real-time ultrasound guidance allows surgeons to accurately place the fat, eliminating the risks associated with deep muscle injections.
Adherence to Guidelines is Non-Negotiable
While our surgeons adhere strictly to these guidelines, it’s important to note that not all surgeons, especially those outside the UK, are aware of or in compliance with these safety measures. Some may still resort to outdated techniques that include injecting fat into deep muscle layers, compromising patient safety for dramatic aesthetic changes.
The Imperative for Safety
We strongly advocate that adherence to the 2023 national guidelines is non-negotiable for all surgeons performing BBL surgeries. Overlooking these crucial safety measures can have severe, even fatal, implications. The medical community needs to prioritise these guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of all patients.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to patient safety, and we continue to lead by example by strictly adhering to the latest guidelines in performing ultrasound-guided SGL for BBL procedures.
