What is Sculptra and how can it be used for a Sculptra Butt Lift?

Many patients in New York want a butt lift but have no idea how easy it is to have it done.  In the past, plastic surgery was the only option for a butt lift. With the advent of Botox and Juvederm, Sculptra injections have been increasing in popularity as a natural alternative to traditional dermal fillers.  Sculptra is a revolutionary way to have a butt lift without the need for undergoing invasive plastic surgery.  Sculptra is composed of poly-l-lactic acid. Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) has been around  for years in fact it is the same material used in dissolvable sutures which are widely used by dermatologist and plastic surgeons. PLLA is a biodegradable micro particle and also synthetic polymer of the AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) family.  Sculptra can be used to improve not only facial lines and wrinkles, but to also add volume and definition to the buttocks. Loss of volume is part of the natural aging process, and occurs not only in the face, but in the buttocks as well.

Many patients complain that their buttock area becomes hollow and flat.  Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA approved injectable dermal filler with a unique gel formulation which promotes natural collagen production in your body. This means that even after you stop getting Sculptra injections, new collagen will be formed for weeks and your buttocks will continue to get fuller.  The skin laxity is treated at the same time by adding this needed volume. If you are looking to enhance your derriere, Sculptra injections for a butt augmentation is an alternative treatment to rejuvenate your buttock, giving you a shapely silhouette with minimal downtime or side effects.

Are there surgical alternatives to Sculptra Butt Lift?

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a form of plastic surgery for a perkier derriere. A Brazilian Butt Lift is a surgical procedure which uses liposuction to remove excess fat from one area of the body. The fat taken is harvested and for placement into the treatment area.

There are many risks associated  with having liposuction including the risk of undergoing general anesthesia. Another risk involves the loss of sensation in the surgical area and even death. The most common risk is that of a fatal fat embolism. This occurs when fat is injected too deeply into the gluteal muscles and the fat accidentally enters the bloodstream blocking the blood flow. The blockage of blood flow results in an embolism and potentially death.

Another option is a surgical butt lift performed by a plastic surgeon. With a surgical butt lift, excess skin is removed from unwanted areas of the buttocks. An incision is typically placed just below the waistline to make the incision mark unnoticeable in a bikini or low-rise jeans. During this surgical procedure the buttocks is shaped using liposuction into your desired shape.

There are other surgical body contouring procedures such as air sculpt. Air sculpt surgically removes fat cells individually from targeted areas. The fat cells removed is then meticulously reinserted into targeted areas of the buttocks one cell at a time.

With any surgical procedure you increase your risk of complications for that reason more patients are opting for a non surgical approach to increasing the size of their derriere.
