A Sculptra butt lift is a type of dermal filler that uses poly-L-lactic acid instead of hyaluronic acid ingredients. This substance kicksstarts your body’s natural collagen production mechanism and you may notice more fullness in the area around two to four months after treatment.

Many people are happy with this treatment and say it’s a low-risk way to get significantly rounder but also perky buttocks. The expense varies depending on experience level, anywhere from $4k -$7K.

Results from Sculptra Butt Lift are gradual, and it may take a few weeks to see the full effects of Sculptra, however, the results have been known to last for up to two years.

The Brazilian butt lift will give you a more dramatic result than Sculptra because the surgeon can plump up that area with fat. With this type, it’s all about subtlety – so if your schedule is too busy for something subtle, then go with what seems like an obvious choice!

The Kardashians are well known for their curvy figures and have been open about using cosmetic procedures to maintain their signature looks. While they have never confirmed that they have used Sculptra butt lifts, it is widely speculated that this is one of the procedures they have used to achieve their voluptuous rear ends.

Some people are concerned that Sculptra butt lift may ruin the shape of their behinds. While it is true that Sculptra can cause the buttocks to appear more prominent, it does not change the shape of the buttock itself. The injected Sculptra adds volume to the area, giving the appearance of fuller, more rounded buttocks. In addition, the Sculptra butt lift is a temporary procedure, so any concerns about permanent changes to the shape of the buttocks are unfounded.

You might not notice the effects of your Sculptra butt lift for months. It can take up to six weeks before you see any real changes, as it works slowly and temporarily increases collagen production in our bodies The ultimate goal with this procedure isn’t just a bigger behind – we’re looking more youthful too!

Sculptra should not be used by people allergic to any product ingredient or with a history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring. Safety has not been established in pregnant, lactating, and breastfeeding patients under 18 years of age.

The following are important treatment considerations for you to discuss with your doctor and understand to help avoid unsatisfactory results and complications. 

•  SCULPTRA has not been studied under the age of 18.
•  Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. The safety of SCULPTRA has not been studied in pregnant or breastfeeding women. 
• Tell your doctor if you are taking any medications used to decrease the body’s natural defense system (immunosuppressants). SCULPTRA injections may then result in an increased risk of infection. 
• Tell your doctor if you have a bleeding disorder or are taking medication that can thin your blood or prolong bleeding, such as aspirin and warfarin. As with any injection procedure, this may increase your risk of bruising or bleeding at the injection site.
•  Avoid or minimize hard (strenuous) exercise and exposure to extensive sun, UV lamps, indoor tanning beds/booths, or extreme temperatures within 24 hours after treatment with SCULPTRA. Any of these may cause temporary redness, swelling, pain, and/or itching at the injection site. 
• Tell your doctor if you have recently had skin therapies such as laser treatment, mechanical or chemical peels, or hair removal. This may lead to an increased risk of side effects such as redness, swelling, heat, or pain in the skin. If you have additional questions about any topic in this section, please discuss it further with your doctor.

Your healthcare provider will answer your questions and ask about your medical history to determine if a SCULPTRA injection is appropriate for you. Tell your healthcare provider about all 9 (10) medicines you take, even over-the-counter ones or treatments. You and your healthcare provider will determine if a topical or local anesthetic is needed.

•  To prepare for an injection session, all makeup should be removed. 
• For each facial wrinkle candidate for this treatment, an injection grid will be decided, and the area to be injected will be cleaned with an antiseptic.
•  SCULPTRA will be injected in multiple small amounts into or under the skin using a fine needle in a grid pattern.
• After injection, the treated area should be massaged to distribute the product evenly.
•  An ice pack should be applied to the treatment area to help reduce swelling unless directed by your healthcare provider.

As with any injectable wrinkle filler, you can expect injection-related side effects, such as bleeding, tenderness or pain/discomfort, redness, bruising, or swelling. These side effects generally resolve within a few hours to a few days but could last 14 days or longer. For more information on adverse events, see previous sections” RESULTS OF THE U.S. CLINICAL STUDIES” and” WHAT ADVERSE EVENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED THROUGH VOLUNTARY POST-MARKETING SURVEILLANCE OF SCULPTRA AND SCULPTRA USE IN AND OUTSIDE OF THE US?” Your healthcare provider will give you specific post-treatment care instructions. Some particular instructions you should follow after treatment are:

•   Massage the treated area 5 minutes 5 times daily for five days after your treatment.
• Within the first 24 hours after your treatment, apply ice or an ice pack wrapped in cloth (avoid putting ice directly on your skin) to the treatment area to help reduce swelling. 
• Avoid or minimize hard (strenuous) exercise and exposure to extensive sun, UV lamps, indoor tanning beds/booths, or extreme temperatures within 24 hours after treatment with SCULPTRA.
• Report any worsening or longer-lasting signs of symptoms to your healthcare provider. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop symptoms such as unusual pain, vision changes, a white appearance of skin near the injection site, or any signs of a stroke (including sudden difficulty speaking, numbness or weakness in your face, arms, or legs, difficulty walking, face drooping, severe headache, dizziness, or confusion) during or shortly after the procedure (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/stroke.htm)
