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

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

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.

Erika Sato, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, you can still get a BBL after having gotten Sculptra. 12mL of Sculptra is not really enough to make a noticeable difference. I think you will be much more pleased with the results of a surgical BBL.

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

There should be no contraindication for you having a BBL procedure following Sculptra placement.  You should wait 6 months post Sculptra to allow for complete healing.

Each plastic surgeon will have their own view on this so if you’ve chosen a Surgeon I suggest you ask him or her. If you have not chosen a surgeon then I recommend having multiple in person consultations at which time you can show your medical history including your previous injections.

Simply having had previous sculptra injections should not prevent you from getting a bbl.

Best,
