Sculptra Butt Lift
What is a Sculptra Butt Lift?
A Sculptra butt lift works differently than other kinds of dermal fillers. Instead of adding volume outright the way that hyaluronic acid ingredients would, Sculptra injects poly-L-lactic acid into your dermal layers to kick start your body’s natural collagen production. Since collagen is the protein that gives your skin its structure and shape, Sculptra injections gradually fill out the area under your butt with a curved shape that looks natural and fits with your body type while improving skin texture and firmness.
How Does it Work?
A Sculptra BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses Sculptra (PLLA); a biodegradable injectable, to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks
A Sculptra butt lift works differently than other kinds of dermal fillers.
Instead of adding volume outright the way that hyaluronic acid ingredients would, Sculptra injects something called poly-L-lactic acid into your dermal layers. This substance works to kick-start your body’s natural collagen production mechanism.

The building of collagen takes several weeks to months.

How Many Vials?
CHOOSING THE NUMBER OF SCULPTRA VIALS:
GOALS AND EXPECTATIONS
Variation in Vial Quantity: The number of Sculptra vials used in a single treatment can vary significantly, ranging from 4 to 30 vials per session. This variation is influenced by patients’ individual anatomy and their treatment goals.
Starting with 4 Vials: Many patients wonder whether 4 vials of Sculptra are sufficient to achieve noticeable results. While 4 vials can provide a subtle enhancement, it won’t significantly or visibly increase volume and shape.
Increasing to 10 Vials: Some patients choose to begin with 10 vials of Sculptra, as this quantity often yields convincing outcomes. They can then continue with additional rounds of Sculptra to achieve their desired results.
Ideal Range: 8 to 20 Vials: Most patients typically start with 8 to 20 vials of Sculptra for their initial injections, as this range consistently delivers noticeable results.
Progressive Enhancement and Enlargement: To achieve a rounder, fuller buttock, it’s not uncommon for patients to use 20-30 vials of Sculptra over the course of 6 months. This is typically done in increments of 10 to 15 vials on each side.
