Technically, Sculptra is not an injectable dermal filler — however, it’s actually more of a volumizer and collagen stimulator. The active ingredient is synthetic poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible material that stimulates collagen production. When Sculptra is injected into the buttocks, it not only begins new collagen growth; it also fills out sagging tissues and delivers a shapely lift and contour.

Individuals who desire to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their buttocks without undergoing surgery may consider sculptra buttock augmentation. Eligible candidates should possess a good quality and tone of skin in the targeted area, maintain overall good health, exhibit no allergies to the Sculptra ingredients, and have realistic expectations for the procedure’s outcomes.

Sculptra injections require only the use of ice or, if preferred, a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort during the process. The product itself contains lidocaine to alleviate any potential discomfort. Before administering the injections, the skin is cleaned and marked. Following completion, the treated areas are massaged briefly to facilitate even product distribution.

After Sculptra buttock augmentation, you will be able to continue your regular activities, except for exercise or any that require your buttocks to be submerged in water, such as swimming or bathing. You’ll need to wait for the injection sites to close before you can do those activities. You may feel a bit sore the rest of the day and the day after treatment. Some patients also have mild bruising. 

Results from Sculptra are gradual because of the collagen-building process. The earliest that results can be seen varies from patient to patient. On average, however, the results may be seen in eight weeks. The younger the patient, the faster the new collagen will develop.
