Non-Surgical Brazilian Bum Lift: Why Choose Sculptra?
Non-surgical Brazilian bum lift UK popularity has reached an incredible high. Reports show that there has been a 500% rise in Brazilian bum lift surgical consultations over the past few years. However, many of those who enquire about transforming their buttocks – the vast majority of whom are women – don't want to face the risks of 'going under the knife'. For this reason, many women are now looking towards non-surgical body sculpting options. The most popular non-surgical option is the use of dermal fillers labelled 'Sculptra'. So what is Sculptra? And why is it considered the best non-surgical option for Brazilian butt lifts?

 

Why Is Sculptra The Most Popular Brazilian Bum Lift Option?
When it comes down to it, you have three options if you want plumper buttocks: fat-grafting, butt implants or non-invasive fillers. Now the first two options will involve surgery, general anaesthesia and scarring. In fact, fat-grafting or fat transfer (also known as the 'Classic' Brazilian butt lift) is not even an option for some people who don't have enough fat to allow for a transfer. These surgical options come with risks and can lead to some 'downtime'. Fillers, on the other hand, are non-invasive and offer next to no downtime. There will be some bruising for 7-10 days after the procedure, but this will fade – leaving you with your desired butt and hips for up to two years before the filler naturally dissipates. Sculptra is the most popular and best filler for non-surgical Brazilian bum lift UK procedures due to being well-suited to butt lifts and as it actually encourages the development of fresh collagen in the recipient's body. As such, Sculptra differs from the likes of hyaluronic acid fillers that merely create volume rather than encouraging natural collagen production.

 

What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid injectable filler that's typically used in the face to smooth out deep creases and wrinkles. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane, which provide immediate results by physically lifting the skin, Sculptra works more gradually by stimulating collagen production over the course of several months.

An immediate plumping effect can be noticed after the poly-L-lactic acid injections have been performed, but that's only because they also contain water. The skin returns to its normal state a few days later. It's only then that the magic actually starts to work, as the microparticles are absorbed into the skin and the body is coaxed into reproducing lost collagen.

The buttocks aren't the only area where Sculptra can be injected. Off-label uses also include volumizing treatments for hands and hollowed temples.

Sculptra, when injected into the buttocks, can help add volume, smooth out cellulite dimples, and improve the skin's overall texture.
The off-label use of Sculptra paired with body contouring treatments like CoolSculpting is becoming increasingly popular as a non-surgical option for buttocks enhancement.

Results can last between two and three years, although some have reported that Sculptra can continue to enhance collagen production for as long as five years, or even longer.


Who is the "Liquid" Butt Lift For?
New York City plastic surgeon Dr Lara Devgan says that Sculptra buttocks augmentation procedures have become a big part of her practice over the last three years.

"It's a bit of a modernisation of beauty standards," says Devgan. "Five to ten years ago people wanted to be skinny, with the smallest possible buttocks. That has changed."

According to Devgan, the Sculptra butt lift can help pretty much anyone looking for a moderate increase in size and projection. For those who aspire to bigger changes, the Brazilian Butt Lift –removing fat from plush areas like the stomach or thighs by liposuction and injecting it into the buttocks– is still the gold standard.

"You have to have the right expectations going in," says Devgan. "The Brazilian Butt Lift is like putting a pillow under a sheet. Sculptra, on the other hand, is like putting a comforter on top of the sheet."

New York City dermatologist Dr Neil Sadick also uses Sculptra to lift bottoms that have experienced some aged-related slide.

"This is for women with what's called a depressed buttock. They've lost their ligament support that holds up the buttock in a younger person," said Sadick. "We address this by injecting Sculptra into the fatty layer right above the muscle."

Essentially, Sculptra helps the skin build its own collagen. This can plump up the thin and sagging skin caused by ageing. Sculptra can also help in cases where the patient doesn't want a bigger buttock area but has a lot of dimpling.

Cellulite is caused by fat, tethered by fibrous cords, which create dimples. Specialists use a needle to loosen these cords and then inject Sculptra in the area to make it plump up over time.

 

What is the Procedure Like?
The procedure begins with the doctor getting a clear understanding of what type of change the patient wants. Some patients want round, C-shaped buttocks. Others want a more laterally full buttock or a combination of both.

The patient then stands up so that the doctor can mark the buttocks. "I do that according to various anatomical landmarks in order to determine the part of the buttocks where the patient needs the most volume," says Devgan.

Next, the patient lies down on a table and the doctor performs the injections. "It's important that the process remain sterile since it's taking place near the genitalia," says Devgan.

This is one of the reasons why it is of the utmost importance to deal with a licensed medical practitioner: illegal butt injections are unfortunately still quite common, despite the extensive media coverage this trend has received in recent years.

In some cases patients have been treated with industrial-grade silicone and other dangerous products, causing irreversible damage and even death. In short, avoid anyone who offers to perform your injections at home or in a non-medical setting, and remember that an offer that sounds too good to be true probably is.

 

Is There Any Downtime?
After the injections, there may be some soreness for a couple of days, similar to a tough workout.

To encourage the Sculptra to spread out among the tissue, doctors recommend that patients massage their bottoms for five minutes, five times a day for a few days. Other than that little aftercare is required, and patients can return to their regular activities right away.

"This is in contrast to a Brazilian Butt Lift, where the fat that's transferred into the area is very fragile," says Devgan. "After a Brazilian Butt Lift, you can't sit on your buttocks for six to eight weeks."

 

What is the Price?
The cost will be in the region of £2200

 

How Long Does a Sculptra Butt Lift Last?
Experts generally agree that results last between two and three years, although some have reported that Sculptra can continue to enhance collagen production for as long as five years, or even longer. However, you will most likely find that touch-up injections are required after two years to prolong the effects of your treatment.
