I was informed i should get 6 vials of Sculptra and 3 vials of Radiesse injections. I just want to know if thats ideal.

Thank you for your question!  Both fillers can help lift the butt.  However, Sculptra is more commonly used for butt lifts.  One of the benefits of having a non-surgical butt lift is that the downtime is minimal.  We recommend scheduling a consultation with a reputable doctor in order to determine the best treatments for you.  Best regards

Hi Allie.  Because we do not offer plastic surgery procedures for the body, we do not have any incentive to suggest surgery, but for a Brazilian we would absolutely recommend surgery over fillers.  The amount of product you would need to see an appreciable change with a dermal filler buttlift would cost much more than the surgical procedure.  The best use of fillers is after the buttlift if there are any divots or imperfections.  The best use for Sculptra is in the face.

Sculptra butt injections can help add volume and lift the buttocks in those individuals that do not have enough fat for a traditional brazilian butt lift, or do not want to undergo a surgical procedure. Keep in mind that Sculptra butt lifts usually require multiple vials over multiple treatment sessions and results will never be as dramatic as a brazilian butt lift. However, in the appropriate candidates with realistic expectations a nice improvement can be seen.Radiesse is now also being used to volumize the buttocks. However, the number of syringes needed for any noticeable result do not make this a very cost effective option and I would just stick with Sculptra. Make sure you see an experienced physician injector for an in-person consultation and evaluation and to minimize the risks of complications. Best wishes.

Sculptra can be used to improve the butt. Keep in mind, these areas need numerous vials of Sculptra over time to build volume, and in some instances the results are subtle and will need to be combined with fat or implants to achieve desired results. It should be combined with RF treatments to get the sculptra to work even better/stimulate it to produce collagen such as venus legacy / exilis ultra / thermage / inmode forma or contoura. I recommend seeing a body shaping expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Before you move forward, ask to see actual long-term results.  Many of the people promoting fillers for buttock augmentation just show results immediately after injection which is completely unethical.  At this point, of course you have an augmentation.  Your butt is filled with mixing fluid.  But once this fluid resorbs the real results should be seen in about 6 months.  Personally, I am not a big fan.  I think that this combination is way to expensive for the meager results attained.  But that's just my opinion. I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Warmest regards,-Gregory A Buford MD FACS PCEOBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
