Buttock Enhancement with Sculptra

by Dr. Steven Wallach

People love curves, and many people seek improved definition and an overall curvier shape. If you’re thin or have overall small-sized buttocks, naturally and selectively adding volume to this region isn’t going to be easy. From performing countless squats and using padded underwear, some consumers have tried just about everything. If any of this sounds familiar, you may want to consider the benefits of getting a buttock enhancement with Sculptra.

What is Sculptra?

Frequently used as a facial filler, Sculptra is a popular injectable cosmetic that’s primarily comprised of poly-l-lactic acid. Unlike hyaluronic acid-based fillers, Sculptra works by stimulating the body’s ongoing production of collagen. This allows for subtle increases in volume wherever it’s injected, as well as perfectly smooth and natural-looking results. Popular in age-reversing cosmetic treatments, Sculptra can safely and effectively fill in fine lines and wrinkles at the mid-face. In addition to restoring lost volume, the unique actions of Sculptra provide long-lasting improvements to a person’s own collagen stores so that the local skin and fat are well-supported. Given its remarkable level of efficacy, this injectable is now also being used to lift the buttocks and augment them. It’s perfect for anyone who’s lacking volume at the derriere, or who wants to address aged, deflated-looking buttocks caused by gravity, time, and sagging.

Why Choose Sculptra Over Butt Implants Or Fat Transfer?

For people who aren’t quite ready to face the risks and extended healing times that surgical solutions require, injectables like Sculptra are the obvious choice. Although butt implants were once a popular choice for selectively adding volume to the behind, the risks of scarring and infection have made gradually made them less desirable. Moreover, depending upon the implant type and size that’s chosen, butt implant surgeries can leave people with buttocks that look over-large and unnatural. Conversely, Sculptra can rejuvenate the look of an already full behind by lifting it and rebuilding the collagen that supports the skin and fat. It can also create round, plump cheeks for anyone who’s lacking adequate volume in this region. As a quick and relatively pain-free procedure, Sculptra does not entail any cutting or tissue removal, downtime, or serious risk of infection or scarring.

Fat transfer or fat grafting is another option for anyone seeking butt augmentation. While fat transfer can also be an effective treatment for these seeking larger, rounder derrieres, the requirements for this procedure can make it less than ideal for some people. In order for a fat transfer to be successfully performed, patients must have adequate amount of excess fat in other areas for harvesting. Lacking this additional fat, Sculptra is easily the best choice. While Sculptra is a quick, simple procedure that only requires a brief series of injections, fat transfer is significantly more invasive and requires more downtime. It is also important to note that fat grafting doesn’t always provide the smooth and naturally uplifted results that Sculptra produces.

How To Know If You’re A Good Candidate For Sculptra

The best candidates for Sculptra buttock augmentation are people between the ages of 25 and 45 who are at their ideal body weights or close to them. These individuals may have diminished volume at the buttocks as the result of weight loss, the natural aging process, or genetics. Many people who lack substantial volume in this area do so naturally, rather than as the result of life habits, physical changes, or time. When this is the case, these same candidates often also lack adequate excess fat in other areas for fat harvesting and transfer.
