Sculptra Buttock Filler

Conveniently located to serve Seattle and Bellevue

Restoration of volume of the butt or hips can be performed several ways. The two most common ways and recognized standards in the United States are:

The above two mention techniques have consistent results and are recognized as acceptable methods to enhance the buttock by the plastic surgery community at large. Dr. Parikh performs both Fat Transfer and Buttock Implants routinely.

Sculptra on the other hand is a filler material that is injected into the buttock or hip area in effort to gain volume in these areas. In general it is a long acting filler and historically described for the use in facial rejuvenation. This has expanded into the area of buttocks.

Sculptra How it Works

Sculptra or Scupltra Aesthetic is made of injectable poly-L-lactic acid. This is a filler product that is long acting and in general, can last over 2 years. There are reports that in the buttocks the filler can last between 5 – 7 years. Sculptra once injected into the area acts as a collagen stimulator. Therefore it takes time to show results. Over time more collagen is built and therefore helping to restore the volume.

Sculptra How is it Performed

Dr. Parikh Board Certified Plastic Surgeon performs the procedure as an outpatient in the office and takes about 15-20 minutes. The procedure is performed with local anesthetic or numbing shots, followed by injection of Sculptra to the areas. The procedure can also be performed with sedation or general anesthetic if one chooses.

Methods of Injection

  • Cannula technique Dr. Parikh’s preferred technique
  • Needle Technique

Preparing for Buttock Sculptra

Your goals should be set, a thorough consultation regarding what areas you want to improve and what areas bother you the most is important. Multiple fillers may be needed to reach your desired goals and this will be discussed during your consultation. Also medications or over the counter supplements that thin the blood can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. These medications should be stopped a minimum of a 1 week prior to filler treatment.

How much is Needed

Commonly 10 vials are used per session. If larger results are desired, a second treatment is required about 8 weeks apart. A candidate must weigh the cost of the procedure and the possibility of future procedures as needed.
