A surgical Brazilian Butt Lift is an excellent way of restoring volume to the buttocks and getting ideal curves. But with the demands of modern life, not everyone’s schedule can accommodate the downtime and recovery required by this surgical procedure. Moreover, some people aren’t candidates for surgery, or simply want to avoid more invasive procedures altogether.
So, what’s a girl who’s short on time—but dreaming of a better butt—to do? Where can you turn when squats and lunges fail? In the past, the only option was a bit of artful underwear padding; today, however, we have Sculptra. This innovative injectable can be used to provide ideal shape and volume to the buttocks – and there is absolutely no surgery or general anesthesia required.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a safe, FDA-approved injectable compound. Like dermal fillers, it’s capable of stimulating the production of collagen, only it does so on a much larger scale. When injected into the buttocks, Sculptra prompts the body to develop not only firmer skin, but also stronger and more voluminous supportive tissues. This causes the butt to grow slightly in size while becoming much more pert. This process typically takes about two months to complete.
While Sculptra will not create the same level of size increase as BBL surgery, it tends to produce modest volume in the buttocks. Better still, its skin firming and strengthening qualities make it an excellent cellulite treatment, too. Sculptra has been shown to diminish cellulite and puckering present on the buttocks, resulting in a smoother, toner behind.
Who Makes a Good Candidate for Sculptra Butt Injections?
Most people who are in good overall health make excellent candidates for Sculptra butt injections. Indeed, Sculptra may be suitable for some people who cannot have invasive surgery, such as smokers who are unable to quit. Furthermore, Sculptra is the perfect choice for the following types of patients:
- Patients who are quite slim. Patients who do not have enough body fat to undergo a fat transfer procedure can choose to have Sculptra butt injections instead.
- Patients who cannot take three or more weeks off work. Unlike BBL surgery, Sculptra butt injections require no downtime whatsoever. In fact, you can head back to work immediately after having this procedure. This makes Sculptra ideal for people who cannot take a great deal of time off work in order to accommodate healing from surgery.
- Patients who have small children. Balancing surgery with childcare duties is difficult. Most people must hire a nanny to look after their children after having BBL surgery, which adds a great deal of expense to the procedure. Sculptra, however, requires no such lifestyle adjustments thanks to its complete lack of downtime.
- Patients who want natural-looking results. Not everyone wants to advertise the fact that they’ve had a cosmetic procedure. Sculptra is ideal for those who want to avoid the appearance of an obvious, sudden “bubble butt” because it generates gradual, subtle changes in the shape of the buttocks.
What You Need to Know Before Booking Your Consultation
There are only two caveats to be aware of when choosing Sculptra: One, like most injectable treatments, it’s temporary. Sculptra usually wears off within two to three years, at which point you can choose whether or not to have a fresh set of injections. However, some patients have reported much longer lasting results—their Sculptra lifts have lasted five or more years. Two, you will need to have three or four separate Sculptra appointments in order to ensure optimal results. Fortunately, each of these appointments will only be about 30 minutes long.
As long as you’re willing to undergo several appointments and get a few “touch up” injections several years in the future, Sculptra is the perfect way to improve the shape, size, and overall tone of your buttocks. When paired with healthy lifestyle changes and special buttock-building exercises, Sculptra can help you create the derriere of your dreams—painlessly, simply, and affordably.
