A non-surgical butt lift uses injectables to lift, firm, and add volume to the buttocks without the need for surgery or implants. Unlike traditional Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL) that require fat grafting and have a longer recovery period, this approach uses fillers like Sculptra or Radiesse. Each filler has unique qualities:
- Sculptra: Known for stimulating collagen over time, Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid filler that gradually adds volume. Results appear over a series of treatments, leading to natural-looking enhancements over months.
- Radiesse: A calcium hydroxylapatite-based filler, Radiesse can be used in a microdilute form to stimulate collagen production. Radiesse tends to provide quicker results and more immediate volume, while also improving skin texture and firmness over time.
Benefits of a Non-Surgical Butt Lift
Opting for a non-surgical butt lift with Radiesse or Sculptra offers several advantages:
- Non-invasive: No surgery means no incisions, reducing the risk of scars and complications.
- Minimal downtime: Patients can usually resume daily activities within 24-48 hours.
- Natural results: Collagen-stimulating fillers promote gradual, natural volume increase.
- Customizable: Treatments can be tailored to achieve a specific volume or contour goal.
- Lower cost than surgery: Without surgical costs, this option is more affordable.
If youโre interested in enhancing curves but want to avoid surgery, this treatment can provide an excellent balance of lift, volume, and skin smoothing.
The Treatment Process
A non-surgical butt lift typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation: During the consultation, a provider will discuss goals, assess your anatomy, and determine whether Radiesse or Sculptra is best suited for you.
- Preparation: Before injections, the area will be cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.
- Injection: Using a cannula or needle, the filler is injected into specific areas to achieve the desired shape and lift.
- Aftercare: Patients are advised to avoid intense exercise for 24-48 hours, as well as to follow any additional aftercare instructions for optimal results.
Risks and Considerations
While non-surgical butt lifts are generally safe, they do come with potential risks. Be sure to discuss these with your provider:
- Bruising or swelling: Common but temporary side effects.
- Asymmetry: In rare cases, one side may appear fuller than the other. A skilled provider will ensure balance.
- Infection: Proper aftercare reduces this risk, though it is uncommon.
- Allergic reaction: Very rare with FDA-approved products but worth discussing.
Make sure to consult with a certified provider who can tailor the treatment to your specific needs and ensure safety throughout.
Cost of a Non-Surgical Butt Lift with Radiesse or Sculptra
The cost of a non-surgical butt lift with Radiesse or Sculptra varies based on several factors:
- Type of filler: Radiesse and Sculptra differ in formulation, longevity, and price.
- Number of sessions: Sculptra often requires multiple sessions for optimal results, whereas Radiesse can offer more immediate effects with fewer treatments.
- Provider expertise: Costs may be higher with experienced providers but can result in better, more consistent outcomes.
On average, treatments range from $1,500 to $5,000 per session. Multiple sessions are often recommended, especially for Sculptra, to achieve and maintain results.
