Sculptra for Brazilian but lift, also known as BBL, is a new, noninvasive, and versatile procedure to add more shape and volume to the buttocks. A Sculptra Brazilian butt lift is a great way to enhance a patient’s natural curves using a dermal filler that stimulates collagen growth in the skin. Sculptra for Brazilian butt lift allows the patient to achieve a rounder, fuller look without surgery. Different from a regular Brazilian butt lift where fat is taken from the patient’s body and placed in the buttocks, Sculptra for BBL is a procedure that is minimally invasive, does not require general anesthesia, and has a little to no downtime. The procedure is ideal for someone who does not have enough fat to transfer to the buttock.
Sculptra provides immediate and long-lasting results for up to two to three years. Since Sculptra works to promote collagen production within the skin, the skin is able to thicken and improve volume over time. The results for a Sculptra Brazilian but lift will get better over the following weeks after the procedure as the body absorbs the filler and boosts collagen levels. While the best results will be seen after a few weeks, many patients return to get multiple Sculptra treatments to ensure the best outcome. The average patient receives about two to three treatment sessions over a few months to achieve the best results. The buttocks can maintain the pronounced and well-proportioned volumizing effects of Sculptra with re-application of injections. This treatment prevents scarring and does not require a long recovery period serving as a fantastic alternative to surgical intervention. Once you achieve your final results, they can be long-lasting.
At South Jersey Aesthetics, we use Sculptra to fill in dimples, “hip dips”, hollowness, and creases to create a fuller, more voluminous butt with injections! We call this our “Sculptra BBL,” the nonsurgical Brazilian Butt Lift.
Having a minimally invasive alternative to other more intense surgical options is an excellent choice for someone who doesn’t want a long recovery time!
Sculptra stimulates your body to produce collagen in response to Poly L Lactic Acid; it’s the main component. After your treatment, over the next few weeks, collagen is gradually built up from the injections, and the appearance of your results improves. The true results will become more apparent over the following months, and only get better!
It is important to understand that Sculptra is a collagen stimulator, not a dermal filler. This means that the Sculptra itself is not providing the filling. Sculptra causes a reaction in the skin, which forms new collagen. Sculptra is absorbed by the surrounding tissue and is gone within 6 months after your treatment, but the new collagen left behind can last for years.
A Brazilian Butt Lift with Sculptra is a straightforward procedure to get done. There is no liposuction required, no healing/soreness from fat harvest, no need to sit on donuts, or in some cases, “avoid sitting at all costs.” These Sculptra injections can be done in about 30 minutes, are nearly painless, and have no downtime except for bruising, with results lasting for years!
AMOUNT OF SCULPTRA
The amount of Sculptra used will depend on what you are trying to achieve and your budget. Anywhere from 3-6 vials of Sculptra on each side is typically used per treatment. We also add hyaluronic acid filler to Scupltra Lidocaine solution.
PROCEDURE FOR A SCULPTRA BUTT LIFT
When you arrive for your appointment, you will be given a paper gown to wear.
Next, your provider will instruct you to lay comfortably on your stomach. Your provider or an assistant will swab the area of your injection with alcohol to sterilize it and reduce the risk of infection.
The injection process itself will only take a few moments as your provider uses sterilized equipment to inject Sculptra into your buttocks.
After the injections are completed, you may receive band aids over the area where the shots were inserted. You can get dressed as usual and are clear to drive immediately afterward.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER A SCULPTRA BUTT LIFT
Recovery after a Sculptra butt lift is minimal. You will be given instructions from your provider and may be asked to avoid drinking alcohol and strenuous exercise for a day or two following the injection.
