Hi Niaher, Thank you for your question regarding nonsurgical butt lift after silicone butt injection removal.  If you consider a nonsurgical butt lift to be filler, then "yes", you can a butt lift after silicone injection removal from the buttock.  Also, even if you had your silicone butt injections 10 years ago, a nonsurgical butt lift with Sculptra can usually be achieved.    The product most frequently used for buttock reconstruction after silicone removal from the buttock is Sculptra.  Sculptra is an injectable poly L-lactic acid that stimulates collagen synthesis and is FDA-approved. Sculptra can be injected into the buttocks about 4 months after removal surgery.  Sculptra injections are performed in the office with a little local anesthesia.  Sculptra buttock injections take approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete.  The amount of Sculptra you need will depend on your current buttock size, the size of the buttock you desire, and the ability of your remaining buttock skin to stretch and accept the desired volume of Sculptra.  Sculptra buttock injection procedures are outpatient and you can return to work the same day.  Sculptra-stimulated collagen deposition can last years.  Thank you for your question regarding a nonsurgical butt lift with Sculptra after silicone injection removal from the buttock.  I hope I have answered your questions.

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Hi nlaher,
Congratulations on making this decision! Non surgical interventions can vary widely in modality. They often use some sort of energy (heat, radio frequency) to stimulate your body to produce a certain reaction. Since each of them utilize a different type of energy source, and are applied to the body differently, it will be very important to discuss any non-surgical treatments with your surgeon. Be as specific as possible with him/her as to which procedure/ device you are considering. 
Best of luck to you on your search for treatment!
