How does the doctor know where they are injecting the fat during a BBL? Especially if they don't use an ultrasound?

I understand that injecting into the muscle/under the muscle is highly dangerous. My question is - is there anyway that the doctor knows with certainty which area they’re injecting to? I’ve heard of some using ultrasounds but what if they don’t use one? How do they guide themselves and prevent the cannula to enter the muscle? Is it possible or an ultrasound is needed for that technique?
