I have hip dip and do not have any fat to harvest - Sculptra? (photo)

Question

Could I use the sculptra injections to fill the gaps and how much?

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  In order to avoid the type of surgery entailed with either a Brazilian butt lift or buttock implants, some patients are electing to have Sculptra injected into their hips for volumizing purposes.  Please be aware that this will take several treatments and a multiple vials of Sculptra to achieve meaningful results.  Best wishes.

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. The upside is that there is no downtime associated with the procedure and it offers an alternative to that person who has no other options other than an implant. 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.
