Can I combine a lower body lift with Sculptra to add fullness?

Hi Philosophical478442. Thank you for your question regarding "can I combine a lower body lift with Sculptra to add fullness?" The short answer is "yes, you can add Sculptra to add fullness to the buttocks during a lower body lift". There are multiple ways to add fullness to the buttocks during and after a lower bodylift. During a lower bodylift, fat transfer or Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) can be performed. Alternatively, a dermal or propeller flap can be created. A propeller flap uses your own skin and fat and twists or turns them down (like a propeller) into the buttock to create more buttock volume. Another way to create buttock volume is to insert a buttock implant. Finally , Sculptra can be injected. Sculptra buttock augmentation can be performed during or after the lower bodylift. You will need several sessions of Sculptra to obtain the best results. One of the benefits of Sculptra is that Sculptra can be injected in the office with local anesthesia. Sculptra injections can be performed every 6 to 8 weeks or more as needed. I hope that i have answered your questions regarding "can I combine a lower body lift with Sculptra to add fullness?". Good luck. Sincerely, Dr. J. Timothy Katzen, MD.

Sculptra is meant to be used in the face for mild volume changes. With a lower body lift, there is ample fat available to do shaping of the buttocks. The fat transfers will provide more volume and last a greater period of time.Hope this helps.

I encourage you to speak with your surgeon about your concerns. Sculptra can be used for subtle buttock enhancements, but often takes multiple treatments. Speak to your surgeon to see if this is the best option for you based on your surgical goals.
