Sculptra is liquified, crystallized Vicryl suture, which has been used inside the body for generations! It is quite safe, and is not going to move to your heart or lungs.
Sculptra triggers collagen formation.
In my experience, the best product to build more NATURAL (looking and feeling) buttocks tissue is your very own PRP (platelet rich plasma) from your own blood...as in the Vampire and PRP procedures.  In these procedures, after a blood draw, your blood is processed to isolate the portion of your blood that contains over 20 growth factors (found in the platelet rich plasma), inject it into the tissue needing more growth, and it stimulates stem cells to gather in the area and grow more tissue as determined by the DNA of the cells of that area.  Both breasts and buttocks respond so exceedingly well that even the platelet poor plasma can be injected and get better results!  You will get no long-term lumps, bumps, or other abnormalities....only a greater volume of natural buttocks fatty tissue! 
With both procedures, you want to make sure the surgeon injects you in a way that will leave to augmentation where YOU want it.

As long as you go to someone who has a great deal of experience with buttocks augmentation and they use a proper technique for augmenting the buttocks with Sculptra, then you should have a safe procedure and a good outcome. We have been using Sculptra for more than 20 years with a great deal of success. Good luck from New York City.
