You can use dermal filler to augment the buttock region, but this can quickly become much more expensive than surgery. The one dermal filler that could be an option and not exceed surgical consideration is Sculptra. This would be the ideal product for someone who does not have a lot of donor fat, and wants a moderate augmentation. Sculptra may take several sessions spaced several weeks apart. There is minimal downtime associated with Sculptra buttock augmentation. I often plan the degree of augmentation and verify with the patient how much Sculptra I may need by doing a pre-run using Saline. If the patient ends up with a few hundred cc's (mls) of saline, then he/she would be better off with fat grafting or with implants. If I can achieve with a great result with less than 50 cc's (mls), then Sculptra may be a great option for the patient.Though I use Sculptra and train other injectors on the use of Sculptra for facial rejuvenation, the fact that Sculptra generates a strong collagen response, allows me to use in other areas such as the buttock, ankles, liposuction defects, etc. I would definitely go to someone with a lot of Sculptra experience if you are venturing for a buttock augmentation.
This is a very common question, as patients want to usesomething that is going to be simple but safe for their buttock augmentation. First of all I would NOT have PMMA, silicone, collagen,biopolymer or any other substance injected into your buttock that is notfat. That is a set-up for life longproblems. Some people have theseinjections and are fine, but the people that have problems have them for life. Unfortunately here in Miami many patients try to save moneyby having their procedure performed by non-plastic surgeons and at facilitiesthat have not been accredited and often have problems. Currently the only safe injection for buttock augmentationis fat. This is called the BrazilianButt Lift; it is so popular because it enables your plastic surgeon totransform your entire shape. Liposuctionis performed over several areas depending on the individual patient needs, buttypically of the flanks, abdomen, back and thighs. So this is going to change your entireshape. I would advise you to see a board certified plastic surgeonthat performs a lot of fat transfer procedures. I would NOT have the procedure done by anyoneexcept a board certified plastic surgeon as illegal injections can cause lifelong problems.
I would not recommend injections to your buttocks as they could create life long problems. The best way to enhance the buttocks is with a Brazilian butt augmentation procedure, which uses a person’s own fat to naturally augment and shape the buttocks. Liposuction is performed to remove fat from other areas of the body (often the stomach, hips, and thighs), then transfers that fat to the buttocks. Additional liposuction can be done around the butt to improve the appearance of lift and contour. Good luck!Kamran Azad MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Than you for sharing your questions and photograph. There are only two forms of injections used to augment a patient's buttocks - fat and dermal fillers. A popularized trend in those patients having insufficient fat for harvest, or who do not want a recovery and downtime is the use of Sculptra, a dermal filler, to help augment your buttock naturally by encouraging your own tissue and collagen formation to add volume, projection, and size. Hope this helps.
Sculptra is a great non surgical alternative to surgery for the butt. Sculptra builds up over time therefore you can spread out the cost over multiple sessions if needed.
