4 Things You Should Know About The Sculptra Butt Lift
When it comes to wanting to achieve a firmer, more lifted butt, many patients opt for a Brazilian butt lift which is a surgical procedure that utilizes liposuction to harvest fat from areas on the body and reinserts that into the buttocks. However, there are many patients who wish to avoid surgery at all costs. For those who might not want to go under the knife, there is a non-invasive option making waves… the Sculptra butt lift.
What Is A Sculptra Butt Lift?
So, what exactly is a Sculptra butt lift? Sculptra is an injectable treatment that contains beads of polyactic acid, a biodegradable synthetic polymer, which provides a gradual increase in skin thickness. Over time, the beads break down and your body will begin to replace them with your own natural collagen. During a Sculptra butt lift, your provider will inject vials of Sculptra into your buttocks which promotes collagen production and increases volume to improve the roundness of your backside.
Sculptra Can Be Used To Treat More Than Wrinkles
Sculptra was originally used to simply soften facial wrinkles by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. However, after a few years providers began using it to safely increase and build volume in the buttocks as well!
Non-Invasive Alternative To Surgery
Because the Sculptra butt lift simply involves injections rather than undergoing surgery, there is no downtime required and patients can head back to work immediately – which is a huge benefit for people who are looking for improvement without the extensive recovery time that a traditional BBL requires. You may feel a bit sore 24 hours after injections, but that’s the worst of it!
Alternative For Those Who Do Not Qualify For A BBL
Sculptra butt lift is a wonderful alternative for patients who actually do not have enough fat deposits on their body to qualify for a Brazilian butt lift procedure, which requires fat to be relocated to the buttock region from another part of the body—typically the stomach or lower back. However, it’s important to note that the expense for Sculptra is typically much higher than a BBL as you will likely need many vials injected over multiple sessions to build volume (for reference, our team charges $600 per vial of Sculptra).
Results Typically Last 2-3 Years
Sculptra butt lifts work to promote collagen production within the skin, which allows the skin to thicken and improves volume over time. You won’t notice results immediately, but you will begin to see improvements within a few weeks as your body produces more collagen. Results are not permanent as they would be with a Brazilian butt lift, but after multiple treatments the buttocks typically maintains these pronounced and well-proportioned volumizing effects for roughly 2 years.
