What Is a Sculptra® Butt Lift?

The Sculptra® Butt Lift is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses Sculptra®—a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable—to gradually enhance the volume and shape of the buttocks. This treatment is ideal for those looking for subtle, natural-looking improvements without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery. Sculptra® works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, creating gradual but long-lasting results.

Key Benefits of a Sculptra® Butt Lift

  • Non-Surgical: No need for incisions, implants, or fat transfer.
  • Natural Results: Gradual enhancement over time by stimulating your body’s own collagen production.
  • Minimal Downtime: Resume most normal activities immediately after treatment.
  • Customizable: Tailored to each patient’s goals, allowing for personalized results.

How Does a Sculptra® Butt Lift Work?

Sculptra® is made of poly-L-lactic acid, which is a biocompatible, biodegradable substance that’s safely absorbed by the body. When injected into targeted areas of the buttocks, Sculptra® stimulates collagen production, gradually adding volume and improving skin texture. This process naturally enhances the shape and size of your buttocks without the need for surgery or implants.

Treatment Process

Step 1: Consultation

During your initial consultation at Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Paul Leong will discuss your aesthetic goals and assess whether the Sculptra® Butt Lift is right for you.

Step 2: Injection Session

Dr. Leong will carefully inject Sculptra® into the desired areas of the buttocks. The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the amount of volume needed.

Step 3: Collagen Stimulation

Over the next few weeks and months, Sculptra® stimulates collagen production, gradually lifting and enhancing the buttocks.

Step 4: Follow-Up Sessions

Some patients may require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.

How Many Sessions Are Required?

Most patients need 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve their desired results. The number of treatments will depend on your individual goals, starting point, and how your body responds to the injections.

Why Choose a Sculptra® Butt Lift Over Surgery?

The Sculptra® Butt Lift offers several advantages over surgical butt augmentation procedures, such as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). For many NYC patients, the non-surgical option is preferred because it’s less invasive and requires less recovery time. Below are some reasons why you might choose a Sculptra® Butt Lift over surgery:

  • No Downtime: You can return to work and normal activities almost immediately.
  • No General Anesthesia: The procedure is performed with minimal discomfort and doesn’t require sedation.
  • Fewer Risks: Unlike surgical options, there’s no risk of complications like infection or implant rejection.
  • Gradual, Natural-Looking Results: Because results develop over time, the change in your appearance will be subtle and natural.

What to Expect After a Sculptra® Butt Lift

After your Sculptra® Butt Lift at Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, you can expect minimal downtime. Most patients experience only mild swelling or bruising, which subsides within a few days. You’ll begin to see the initial effects after a few weeks, with full results developing over the next few months as collagen production increases.

Recovery and Results

  • Minimal Downtime: Patients can typically return to work or normal activities right after treatment.
  • Gradual Enhancement: Full results appear after several months, and the effects can last for up to 2-3 years with proper maintenance.
  • No Extensive Aftercare: Unlike surgical options, there’s no need for restrictive aftercare or prolonged recovery.
