Sculptra® is a poly-L-lactic acid-based injectable that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. When used for a Brazilian Butt Lift, Sculptra® enhances volume and shape by gradually encouraging collagen growth, which provides a fuller, more lifted appearance. Unlike traditional butt lifts or implants, Sculptra® offers a minimally invasive option that results in a more natural look.
The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. No general anesthesia is required, as the injections cause minimal discomfort. Most clients find the process comfortable, and it involves little to no downtime. It’s an ideal option for those looking for subtle yet effective results without the risks of surgery.

Are You a Candidate for Sculptra® BBL?
Candidates for Sculptra® BBL are individuals seeking a subtle enhancement in the volume and shape of their buttocks without undergoing surgery. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations and are in good overall health. The procedure is also suitable for patients who prefer a gradual improvement, as results develop over time.
Conditions That May Disqualify You
Sculptra® BBL may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, infections, or bleeding disorders. Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of keloid scarring may also be advised to avoid this treatment. A consultation with a qualified provider will help determine if this procedure is right for you.
What to Expect During a Sculptra® Brazilian Butt Lift Treatment
During the procedure, your provider will begin by marking the areas for injection. The Sculptra® filler is then injected into the buttocks through a fine needle. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired outcome, and treatments are typically spaced several weeks apart to allow for optimal collagen stimulation and natural volumization. You may experience some swelling or tenderness, but this should subside within a few days.
Results and How Long They Last
Sculptra® works by gradually building collagen, meaning you’ll see improvements in the volume and shape of your buttocks over a few months. The results typically last up to two years, and occasional maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain the enhanced look. Many patients appreciate the gradual and natural progression of their results.
Recovery and Downtime
One of the significant advantages of a Sculptra® Brazilian Butt Lift is the minimal recovery time. Most patients can resume their regular activities within a day or two, with some light swelling or bruising at the injection sites. Your provider may advise you to avoid strenuous exercise for a few days to allow the treated area to settle.
Alternatives to Sculptra® Brazilian Butt Lift
If you're seeking buttock enhancement but prefer other options, alternatives include traditional fat grafting (surgical Brazilian Butt Lift) or buttock implants. Each of these procedures involves more significant downtime and higher risks but may be suitable for individuals looking for more dramatic results. Additionally, non-invasive treatments like Emsculpt may help tone and lift the buttocks, though the effects are generally more subtle compared to Sculptra®
