What is Sculptra Buttocks Enhancement?
Popularized by well-known celebrities, Sculptra is the preferred cosmetic subcutaneous filler and technique used in non-surgical buttocks enhancement / augmentation.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable product made of “Poly-L-Lactic Acid” (aka PLLA). PLLA is a synthetic material that is biocompatible (i.e. does not harm the body) and biodegradable (i.e. able to be broken down by the body). PLLA has been used safely for decades in dissolvable sutures and surgical implants. Also, Sculptra has been used safely in over 30 countries and 150,000 patients since 1999 under the trade names of New-Fill, Sculptra and Sculptra Aesthetic.
Sculptra Aesthetic is thoughtfully injected subcutaneously into the mutually agreed upon zones or areas for enhancement or augmentation. Sculptra injections immediately and gradually restore volume by increasing subcutaneous thickness through new collagen stimulation, helping to create a more natural, but enhanced appearance.
New collagen deposition builds during and after treatment sessions over several months. Results are enduring, lasting up to 2 years or longer per a clinical study. Periodic touch-ups may be needed at multi-year intervals or as desired.
Sculptra buttocks injection treatments are safe, effective, non-surgical, minimally painful and without any significant downtime. No prior skin testing for allergic reaction is needed. We use proven safe and gentle anesthetic options for your added comfort; including, prescription-strength topical anesthetics, injectable local anesthetic and/or other medications.
With over 25 years experience specializing in minimally invasive and non-invasive cosmetic and laser treatments, including Sculptra, cosmetic dermatologic surgeon Dr Strimling is an expert Sculptra buttocks enhancement injection specialist.
Contraindications to Sculptra buttocks enhancement injections include pregnancy, nursing, history of keloid scars or allergy to any ingredients of Sculptra, if known.
What to expect after a Sculptra Buttocks treatment?
Swelling, redness, bleeding/bruising and pain, lasting several hours to days and occasionally several weeks, may occur after Sculptra injection treatments. Immediate swelling from anesthetic or water used to reconstitute Sculptra often provides a short-lived improvement that fades as the swelling subsides, but then, again improves as new collagen is stimulated over several months.
Sculptra buttocks enhancement aftercare includes:
- Apply ice packs for 5-15 minutes per hour the first day to reduce any swelling.
- Starting on your Sculptra buttocks treatment day, begin massaging the treatment areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day for 5 days to help diperse the Sculptra particles.
Most patients feel comfortable going back to their normal activities the same day.
Other possible Sculptra buttocks enhancement side effects
Small, non-visible, but palpable bumps under the skin in the treated areas within 6-12 months after treatment may occur, but usually resolve without any intervention. Visible or red bumps have been reported. However, with improved dilution methods and proper injection technique, we have not seen any of these described side effects. All injections carry a risk of infection.
To minimize bruising and swelling, avoid aspirin & aspirin containing products for at least one week prior Sculptra injections and avoid ibuprofen (i.e. Advil and Motrin) for 3 days prior Sculptra injections. Avoid other blood thinners per your prescribing physician’s instructions.
