Sculptra BBL: Noninvasive Butt Augmentation

Sculptra for Brazilian butt lift, also known as BBL, is a new, noninvasive, and versatile procedure to add more shape and volume to the buttocks. A Sculptra Brazilian butt lift is performed on an outpatient basis and is a great way to enhance a patient’s natural curves using a dermal filler that stimulates collagen growth in the skin. Sculptra for Butt Augmentation allows the patient to achieve a rounder, fuller look without surgery. Different from a regular Brazilian butt lift where fat cells are taken from the patient’s body and placed in the buttocks, Sculptra, as a substitute for BBL surgery, is a procedure that is minimally invasive, does not require anesthesia, and has little to no downtime.

Sculptra provides immediate and long-lasting results for up to two to three years. Since Sculptra works to promote collagen production within the skin, the skin is able to thicken and improve volume over time. The results for a Sculptra Brazilian butt lift will get better over the following weeks after the procedure as the body absorbs the filler and boosts collagen levels. While the best results will be seen after a few weeks, many patients return to get multiple Sculptra treatments to ensure the best outcome. The average patient receives about three treatment sessions over a few months to achieve the best results. The buttocks can maintain the pronounced and well-proportioned volumizing effects of Sculptra with the re-application of injections. This butt augmentation treatment prevents scarring and does not require a long recovery period serving as a fantastic alternative to surgical intervention. Once you achieve your final results, they can be long-lasting.

Ideal Candidates for Sculptra BBL

Good candidates for a Sculptra Brazilian butt lift

Someone who does not have enough fat deposits in a donor region of the body to undergo fat transfer as part of a regular Brazilian butt lift
Patients desiring a non-surgical and less invasive means to augment their buttocks
Is willing to commit to multiple treatment sessions as results are achieved in a gradual manner

Injection Technique with Sculptra for BBL

Sculptra is the only FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) filler that allows patients to build longer-lasting volume gradually over time. Poly-l-lactic acid is an injectable, biocompatible formula made up of poly-L-lactic acid microparticles, a polymer of the alpha-hydroxy-acid family that is safely absorbed and eliminated by the body.

When Sculptra is injected into the buttocks, fullness is added, and the quality of the skin improves through increased collagen production. Collagen is a natural substance made within the skin that helps to hold up and retain a natural buttock shape. As you age, your skin’s natural collagen levels diminish, leading to drooping and sagging of the skin. Sculptra helps to promote collagen production, which helps the skin appear healthier and function better. Sculptra is an injectable product that requires no heavy sedation, incisions, downtime, or scarring. A topical anesthetic will be used alongside treatment to ensure patient comfort.

In a standing position, the physician will assess and mark the treatment region. Lidocaine will be added to the Sculptra formula to provide anesthesia. After the Sculptra is injected, the area will be massaged for a few minutes to ensure proper product spread. Sculptra for Brazilian butt lift treatment can be accomplished in less than an hour with most patients needing about 2-3 treatment sessions to achieve desired results. It is recommended that each treatment be spaced out in 4-6-week intervals.

Preparation for Sculptra BBL

Proper procedural preparation is important when it comes to minimizing recovery and increasing the safety of Sculptra injections. Prior to your appointment, it is important to be off of certain supplements and medications as well as to minimize consumption of certain foods that are high in Omega-3 and Omega-6. All of our patients are advised to view our list of “Things to Avoid” prior to injections or surgery.

2 Weeks Before Sculptra BBL Injections

Follow our dietary restrictions

For 2 weeks before your appointment avoid nuts, seeds, fish, fish oil, NSAIDs, supplements, and anything that prolongs bleeding. This will significantly help minimize bruising, bleeding, and swelling after your injections.

Arnica Supplements

You can start Arnica supplements a week prior to injections to help with post-injection bruises. Arnica helps to speed up the fading away of bruises. Arnica supplements can be found in most health supplement isles at your local Whole Foods, GMC, or CVS, as well as purchased from The Naderi Center.

Stopping Medications and Supplements

Talk to your primary care doctor or physician specialist. If you are on blood thinners, you may need to stop these a few days to weeks prior to your injection treatment. Speak to your prescribing physician regarding if it is safe to stop these medications as well as to obtain instructions about when to stop and restart the medication. We do not recommend patients that who are on life-saving medications stop their medications in order to have any cosmetic procedures performed.

Day of Sculptra BBL Injections

Eat and drink before your treatment

It is not uncommon for patients to “pass out” or experience “vasovagal” during their injection. Most people are not fond of needles. Having good blood sugar levels and being hydrated will make it less likely that you will feel queasy during your treatment.

Minimize make up and lotions

Please minimize make-up, especially in and around areas where you would like to get injections performed. Our medical assistants will have to remove your makeup prior to the procedure. You can bring make up with you and apply it immediately after your treatment.

Come in 30 minutes prior to appointment time for numbing

We recommend numbing cream application prior to dermal injections. The numbing cream needs a good 20 – 30 minutes to exert its full effect, hence we ask all our filler injection patients to come a little earlier to allow for the numbing time.

Reserve your next appointment

Sculptra injections are typically repeated in 4-6 weeks following the initial session. We love our loyal patients, and making sure that we can see you when you need your next injection is important to us. Most of our physicians book out 3 – 4 months in advance, and we prefer to never double book patients. We always recommend that you schedule your next appointment before leaving.

Recovery after Sculptra for BBL

There will be an initial volume increase that is caused by the sterile water used to suspend the Sculptra particles for injection. During the first day or two following the treatment, your body will naturally absorb this water. You won’t need a compression garment, but the treatment area should be lightly massaged by the patient for about 5 days after treatment to ensure the Sculptra particles are distributed evenly throughout the buttocks to help deliver the fullest appearance. Results will appear gradually, and the shape of the buttocks will continue to improve with follow-up treatments.

Unlike traditional BBL procedures (Brazilian Butt Lift surgery), dramatic weight fluctuations such as moderate weight loss or weight gain will not affect the results as harshly, however, keeping a healthy amount of body fat will help make your new attractive backside more noticeable as well as help you maintain more balanced body proportions.

Massaging after Sculptra: The Rule of 5s

Massage the treated area for five minutes five times a day for five days after treatment, as recommended by your physician.

Massage

Massage the treated area for five minutes five times a day for five days after treatment, as recommended by your physician.

Ice, Ice, Ice

Use a small bag of frozen peas in a sandwich bag or crushed ice to gently ice the area. No heavy ice bags. Ice for 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. Continue the icing for 24-48 hours if possible. NEVER apply ice directly to the skin and avoid firm pressure.

Minimize Strenuous Exercise

We recommend no strenuous activity for 48 hours in order to reduce swelling and bruising. You may resume other daily activities/routines immediately after treatment but before that time, keep your activity level low.

Avoid Excess Sun and UV lamp tanning

Excessive sunlight and UV lamp exposure should be avoided until any initial swelling and redness go away. Your doctor will provide guidelines on sunscreen protection and how to avoid excessive sunlight.

Eat pineapples and drink pineapple juice

Pineapples have natural anti-inflammatory properties that help to minimize swelling after injections. You may apply or take Arnica tablets to help decrease the amount of bruising as well.

Take Tylenol for Pain

It is normal to experience some pain and sensitivity in the area of the injection. Most patients find that Tylenol can help relieve this post-injection pain. Avoid NSAIDs such as Motrin and ibuprofen as these can make swelling and bruising worse.

Risks, Safety, and Potential Complications after Sculptra for BBL

Sculptra injections are considered safe and efficient when performed by an experienced medical provider. It is important that patients only trust their appearance to a reputable BBL surgeon or dermatologist.

Patients who suffer from lupus, Sjogren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, or who are pregnant/nursing should not use Sculptra.

Bruising After Sculptra For BBL

May last 1-2 weeks but bad bruises can last up to 4 weeks. This is normal. Bruises can show up several days after the treatment.

Swelling After Sculptra For BBL

May not always be even from side to side depending on pre-existing asymmetry volume of injection and bleeding at each injection site.
Initial swelling takes 2 weeks to settle. Swelling will be worse in the first 24-48 hours.
Avoid exercise first 48 hours or longer as swelling increases when working out.

Asymmetry After Sculptra For BBL

Asymmetry is usually related to swelling and volume of Sculptra injected. Any asymmetries with collagen production will not be evident for 4–6 weeks.

Papules (Lumps And Bumps) After Sculptra For BBL

The filling of tiny subcutaneous bumps that are usually not visible but can be felt when pressing on the skin is normal and will resolve with time.
Visible nodules with redness or potential color changes to the skin should be reported to your physician.

Initial Subtle Results After Sculptra For BBL

Sculptra results will become evident at 4-6 weeks after injection treatment since they rely on the body’s own production of collagen. Any initial post-treatment volume games are most likely due to the Sculptra solution as well as swelling.
Anywhere from 2- 3 treatment sessions may be recommended in order to achieve final results.

Possible Complications After Sculptra Injections

Hypersensitivity or allergic reactions
Green or yellow drainage at the site of injection
Cold sore or herpes simplex virus outbreak
Injection site nodules requiring steroid treatment, or in rarer cases surgical removal
Infection
Intravascular injection leading to skin necrosis or even stroke

Please notify our office immediately if you feel that you may be experiencing any of the above possible complications after your filler injections.

How long does Sculptra BBL take to work?

It typically takes a few weeks to see initial improvements, with full results becoming more noticeable over the course of a few months. Patience is key as the injected Sculptra works its magic to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks.

How long does Sculptra BBL last?

Sculptra BBL can last up to two years or more, as the injected Sculptra works to stimulate collagen production over time. Results are gradual and long-lasting, providing a natural enhancement to the buttocks. Regular touch-up treatments may be needed to maintain optimal results and address any changes in the body's natural aging process.

Is Sculptra BBL safe?

Sculptra for a Brazilian butt lift is considered safe when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in the procedure. Like any cosmetic treatment, there are potential risks and side effects that should be discussed with your physician. Overall, Sculptra BBL is a safe and effective option for enhancing the shape and volume of the buttocks.

Is Sculptra safer than BBL?

Sculptra and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) are different procedures with their own set of risks and benefits. Sculptra is a dermal filler that stimulates collagen production, while BBL involves fat transfer to enhance the buttocks. Both procedures have their own safety considerations, so it's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine which option is best for you.

Can you get a BBL after Sculptra?

It is possible to get a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) after receiving Sculptra injections, but it is recommended to wait until the effects of the Sculptra have faded before undergoing another treatment. This allows for better results and reduces any potential risks or complications associated with combining the two procedures.

Can you get Sculptra after a BBL?

Yes, you can get Sculptra after a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) about 90 days after the BBL procedure. Waiting until around 3 months post-BBL allows for the swelling to go down and the results to become more definitive, making it an appropriate time to consider a Sculptra BBL for further enhancement.
