Sculptra
The Sculptra butt lift is a cosmetic treatment that promises to improve the curvature and form of your buttocks without requiring surgery or posing a significant risk of complications.
Sculptra is a dermal filler that promotes the formation of collagen in the skin. It has traditionally been used to restore lost facial volume, but it has lately been utilized to give volume and definition to the buttocks region. The Sculptra butt lift makes it possible to give roundness or fullness to a flat butt.
Each treatment usually takes roughly an hour to finish. The majority of patients require 2-3 therapy sessions to attain the desired outcomes. Each treatment will be spaced 4-6 weeks apart. This procedure has a low risk of scarring. Sculptra butt lift, like other forms of dermal fillers, is less risky than surgical treatments.

- Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications: Stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications 7-10 days before treatment to minimize bruising unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
- Limit Alcohol and Caffeine: Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine for at least 24 hours before your appointment to reduce swelling and bruising.

- Shave or Clean Treatment Area (If Needed): For body treatments such as the buttocks, the area must be clean and free of hair, lotions, or oils.
- Plan Ahead: Two weeks in advance of significant events, allowing for bruising and swelling to resolve.
Post-Care for Sculptra® Treatments
Immediately following your Sculptra® session, be sure to follow these post-care instructions in order to optimize results and support healing:
- Massage the Treated Area: Gently massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. This helps evenly distribute the product and prevents the formation of lumps.

- Avoid Heat and Intense Activities: Refrain from saunas, hot tubs, and strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours to reduce irritation and swelling.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support collagen production and overall healing.
- Protect the Area from Sunlight: Use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and avoid direct sunlight for at least 1-2 weeks to prevent pigmentation changes.
- Do Not Use Makeup or Skincare Products: Avoid applying makeup or active skincare products (like retinoids or acids) to the treated area for 24-48 hours.
- Monitor Skin Reactions: Mild redness, swelling, or bruising is normal and should resolve within 1-2 weeks. Contact your provider if you experience severe pain, lumps, or prolonged side effects.
- Avoid Other Treatments: Refrain from undergoing other cosmetic procedures (like laser treatments or chemical peels) in the treated area for at least two weeks.
- Be Patient for Results: Visible results typically appear within 3-4 months as collagen production occurs.
- Follow Treatment Schedule: For optimal and long-lasting results, complete the recommended series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

What is Sculptra?
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable that aids in the progressive restoration of missing collagen. It adds volume to the skin while tightening and thickening it.
Sculptra is a dermal filler that encourages collagen growth in the skin. It was previously used to restore lost face volume, but it is also being used to add volume and definition to the buttocks. A flat butt can be given roundness or fullness with the Sculptra butt lift.
What is the difference between fillers and Sculptra?
The production of collagen is the primary distinction between Sculptra and Fillers.
Unlike Sculptra, fillers do not stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. Fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, are gel substances that reduce lines by pushing up the dermis space beneath wrinkles and creases.
How does Sculptra work?
According to Sculptra® website, this is not a conventional hyaluronic acid filler that instantly volumizes and produces obvious effects.
Within the first few days of using Sculptra®, you’ll see a natural filling effect, followed by a reduction in volume. At this stage, the body begins to make its own collagen, regaining volume that has been lost over time.
When can I see the results?
Typically, results are visible within 3-4 months.
How long does results last?
The effects can last for two to three years.
How many sessions should I get?
Three treatments over a few months is recommended on average. However, the number of sessions still vary from patient to patient
How long is the recovery period?
Because Sculptra® is a nonsurgical procedure, there is no downtime.
What is common during my recovery?
There may be some minor bruising, which will go away in 1 to 2 weeks.
