The Non-surgical Sculptra Butt Lift is a great procedure for someone who wants to improve the contour, shape, give lift, or provide modest increased volume to the buttock area without surgery.  Sculptra can also help address dimpling or irregularities on the buttock and thigh areas.  Patients who opt for Sculptra Butt Lifts typically do not want or are not candidates for surgery, or do not have enough fat to do a fat transfer butt augmentation.  Realistic expectations should be for modest volume increase over time.  Those who want more volume can opt for more sessions, but unlike what is advertised in popular media—it can never quite achieve the same volume augmentation as fat transfer.

In the initial consultation, Dr. Chiu will discuss the degree of change and/or improvement the patient is looking for. To further assess whether a subtle Sculptra Butt Lift is suitable or a more invasive surgical procedure, Dr. Chiu will use saline injections to map, shape, and contour the buttock area, and assess if the candidate can be improved with this procedure.

During Dr. Chiu’s initial consultation, saline injections are used to contour the buttocks and lift. The amount mapped and required can help guide approximately how much Sculptra will be needed for desired results. An estimate of pricing can then be given.

At The Derm Institute, we always seek to maximize patient comfort. Topical anesthesia is used, but this is typically not considered a painful treatment.

Bruising is common, and can take 1-2 weeks to resolve. We recommend all patients take this into account when planning. Some soreness is common for a few days after the procedure, but typically daily activities are not affected.
