Thank you for sharing your excellent question.

For patients with a limited source of donor fat we have been using Sculptra as an alternative. The most common location is for a buttocks lift. Many of the Hollywood stars discovered this and have been doing it for the past couple years. It takes a large number of vials, usually 20 to 40 vials injected over 2 to 3 sessions.

This procedure was featured on The Doctors and reported to begin at $20,000. You may be able to find it for substantially less away from the coasts.
