Sculptra Butt Lift

A personal consultation is the first step for every patient considering a facelift. During this meeting, one of our board-certified plastic surgeons will assess your physical and emotional health and discuss your specific goals for surgery.

If you are overweight and have a realistic desire to lose more than 5 pounds, your weight loss could affect your results. It’s important to discuss this at the time of your consultation.

During your physical evaluation, the doctor will assess your bone structure and the underlying tissues of the face. The thickness, texture and elasticity of your skin and the severity of the wrinkles and folds will also be considered.

Suggestions may be given for other cosmetic procedures that can be performed along with a facelift to meet your appearance goals. For example, a facelift is frequently combined with:

• A forehead lift, to correct lines or furrows in the forehead
• Eyelid surgery, to eliminate drooping upper eyelids or bags beneath the eyes
• Skin treatments, such as laser resurfacing, to minimize fine wrinkles.
• Your own fat transfer to increase hollow cheeks

The injection process itself will only take a few moments as your provider uses sterilized equipment to inject Sculptra into your buttocks area. After the injections are completed, you may receive a bandage on the area where the shots were inserted. You can get dressed as usual and are clear to drive immediately afterward.

Severe side effects and complications from dermal fillers are uncommon. After a butt lift, you may notice:

• bruising or redness
• asymmetrical results
• lumps or bumps that may smooth out over time
• bleeding at the injection site
• temporary acne breakouts at the injection site
• rash or itching
• infection
• Some people develop bruising at the injection site or nodules under their skin after getting a Sculptra injection. According to a 2015 study, 7 to 9 percent of people may experience nodules.

Recovery after a butt lift is minimal. You will be given instructions and may be asked to avoid drinking alcohol and strenuous exercise for a day or two following the injection. You won’t see results right away. It can take 4 to 6 months for the results to become apparent, as the injection works to slowly boost your body’s collagen production.

The results of this butt lift aren’t permanent. Sculptra dissolves and is absorbed by your body within 2 years after the procedure.

Sculptra is far less dangerous than other surgical procedures, such as Brazilian butt lift and butt implants. The results of a Sculptra lift may be less dramatic, and they are temporary.
