Not everyone is born with a round, full buttocks, which is why experienced plastic surgeons are offering a number of options to help patients attain the curvy backside they have always wanted. Introducing butt augmentation (non-surgical butt lift) with Sculptra® Aesthetic, an injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid that can be used in the face and also other areas, such as the buttocks. Our Atlanta plastic surgeons, John Connors, MD, FACS and Alexandra Hart, MD – as well as our certified nurse practitioner, Jenny Azar – offer customized non-surgical butt lift treatment plans using Sculptra® for patients who desire modest plumping to the buttocks area. We have perfected the Sculptra® injection technique and continue to perform our technique on patients all over the southeast. Sculptra® can be used to smooth cellulite, enhance skin texture, lift the buttocks, and even assist with filling out “hip-dips.” Most of our Sculptra® butt lift patients either do not have enough fat to use for a traditional Brazilian butt lift procedure or they do not wish to have implants. Using Sculptra® to add volume and fill the buttocks is a great option for many Atlanta area patients. This filler is long-lasting and may require multiple treatments to attain the right result. To schedule your private consultation with Dr. Hart or Jenny, NP-C, contact our plastic surgery center to learn more.
How Is a Sculptra® Butt Lift Performed?
During your non-surgical butt lift appointment, Sculptra® is administered during an in-office visit that typically takes about 30 minutes. The injection location areas will be marked and the treatment, including the dosage, is tailored during the session to attain the right results and achieve the patient’s specific goals. The injections are given through a syringe and are inserted in layers keeping the filler localized to flat areas of the buttocks. The procedure itself is not painful, but there may be some discomfort afterward and some patients may benefit from pain medications for a couple of days after the injection. For the best results, the average patient has about three treatment sessions over a few months until the desired outcome has been reached.
What Does a Sculptra® Butt Lift Recovery Entail?
After your Sculptra® injection, there will be some mild discomfort, redness, and swelling at the injection site. This swelling should subside over the first few days to weeks, and the body then should begin making collagen in the buttocks region. Injections are repeated at four-to-six-week intervals to maximize volume. The Sculptra® butt lift is reserved for men and women who do not have enough fat to have a regular Brazilian butt lift via a fat transfer, which consists of doing liposuction to one area and then grafting the fat to the buttocks region.
It takes a very skilled and experienced provider to perform a Sculptra® butt lift. This treatment is relatively new in the aesthetic industry and requires surgical aptitude and a trained eye to understand where to place the filler and how much filler should be injected at each session. We will discuss all of this in detail during your consultation appointment.
