Sculptra® Buttock Enhancement in Atlanta in Atlanta

With the recent spotlight on lifted, sculpted butts, it can feel like squats just aren’t enough. Although surgical options like the Brazilian Butt Lift can be effective, it’s natural to look for a non-surgical alternative. For a well-rounded, flattering figure, a Sculptra® buttock augmentation procedure or Sculptra buttock enhancement is one option to boost your butt and your confidence.

WHAT IS SCULPTRA® BUTTOCK ENHANCEMENT?

Sculptra® is a unique injectable option that goes above and beyond traditional hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Sculptra® is made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), an ingredient commonly used in absorbable sutures. When injected under the skin, PLLA can stimulate collagen production to enhance facial volume, making it an excellent choice to fill in deep facial wrinkles like nasolabial folds and address signs of facial aging. Although Sculptra is most well-known for its facial rejuvenation benefits, its lifting ability also makes it a great choice for adding volume to the buttocks while reducing the appearance of cellulite and dimples to create smoother skin texture. As it’s metabolized by your body, your own natural collagen tissue is left behind. This makes it an excellent alternative to surgical butt augmentation without downtime or recovery.

HOW SCULPTRA WORKS

Sculptra uses PLLA to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. Collagen is a protein in the skin that gives it elasticity for a firm and smooth texture. Natural aging and environmental factors like sun exposure gradually cause the production of collagen to slow down, and existing collagen fibers break down, leading to loose skin and wrinkles. By replenishing collagen in the treated area, Sculptra injectable fillers restore volume to the face or areas of the body, like the buttocks. Sculptra is a popular choice for non-surgical buttock augmentation, as it can naturally build volume and lift the buttocks to add definition and create a more sculpted contour.

GOOD CANDIDATES FOR SCULPTRA® BUTTOCK ENHANCEMENT

The best candidates for Sculptra treatment are patients who are at their ideal weight with a minimal amount of loose skin or those who have had a surgical Brazilian Butt Lift surgery before and are looking to address contour irregularities. Patients who are currently pregnant should wait to receive treatment. Those with a history of keloid scarring, bleeding disorders, or an allergy to any ingredients in the Sculptra injectable product might not be suitable candidates.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR SCULPTRA® CONSULTATION

During your private consultation, Dr. DiFrancesco will discuss your concerns and determine your best options with a Sculptra® butt lift. All details of the procedure will be thoroughly explained so you know what to expect at each step. A minimum of two treatment sessions is required, and pricing begins at $6,500 per session. Although Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable, it is not FDA-approved for the buttock area. Patients should be aware of the potential risks, which will be explained by Dr. DiFrancesco.

PREPARING FOR SCULPTRA®

Before Sculptra treatment, patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle and stay hydrated to ensure a smooth procedure and the best possible results. Patients may be advised to avoid alcohol consumption and blood-thinning medications for 2-3 days before their appointment. Patients should also avoid sun exposure to maintain good skin quality before their Sculptra treatment.

STEPS FOR SCULPTRA® ENHANCEMENT

Sculptra injections are generally well-tolerated by many patients, but a topical anesthetic can be applied if desired. After the gluteal area has been cleansed, the product will be gradually injected under the skin to create natural-looking, flattering contours. Injectable butt lift procedures can require up to ten vials of product, but the amount will vary depending on your desired results. Dr. DiFrancesco will ensure you understand your costs based on how much product is needed. You’ll see instant results and can return home after treatment.

SCULPTRA® ENHANCEMENT RISKS AND RECOVERY

Because Sculptra stimulates your own collagen production and there are no artificial substances like buttock implants, Sculptra is relatively safe for most patients. Patients should be expect mild swelling, bruising, and redness around the injection site, but these symptoms will improve within a few days. There is minimal downtime required, although we recommend avoiding strenuous activity for 24-48 hours.

It is important to receive Sculptra injections from a board-certified plastic surgeon or certified injector to prevent risks such as asymmetry or lumpiness in the treatment areas. There is also a risk of infection, although this is a low risk, especially when you receive injections in a sterile treatment environment under the supervision of a medical professional.

MAINTAINING SCULPTRA® RESULTS

After treatment, you can expect to see an increase in collagen growth in as little as three weeks. Final results will be seen after a few months. Although your results can last for up to two years, you may require touch-up injections to maintain your results over time. Generally, you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment, although you might experience some redness and sensitivity. Massaging the area can help the product spread and absorb, so Dr. DiFrancesco will provide aftercare instructions to follow.

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE A PLASTIC SURGEON FOR SCULPTRA®?

Dr. DiFrancesco is a double board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery for the face, body, and breasts. Dr. DiFrancesco’s knowledge and expertise in cosmetic procedures mean she has an understanding of potential risks and how to minimize them to ensure patient safety.
