Can I do a BBL after a Non-Surgical BBL? Will the Sculptra need to be removed before I do my actual BBL?

Question

I'm interested in doing a BBL in the future but all the doctors I have had consultations with have waiting lists that stretch out years. I was wondering if I could do a non-surgical BBL with Sculptra Butt Injections while I wait for my actual BBL? Will the Sculptra need to be removed before I do my actual BBL?

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You can safely proceed with BBL later after you have had Sculptra injections. There is no need to remove it because it is not a “material” like silicone, but rather it is a collagen stimulator.

Sculptra is a filler that has been approved for facial augmentation and has been used off label for butt augmentation. Getting Sculptra injected into your buttocks should not prevent you from having a BBL. Sculptra can be effective for filling small surface irregularities or volume deficits, but it should not be expected to produce significant buttock augmentations.

Dear AngelaG123,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

I know of no surgeon with 'years' of waiting lists.... I offer either way to do BBLs or in combinations. Best to try to connect. Regards

Sculptra will not achieve results comparable to a surgical BBL. At Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Institute, a Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

The optimal BBL outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons.  A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring.
