Is self-massage mandatory after Sculptra butt lift?

"Thank you for your question. Aftercare for Sculptra treatments can vary based on the provider's preference and experience. The concept behind massaging the treated area is to ensure even distribution of the Sculptra particles and prevent nodule formation. While there are concerns about migration, proper technique, and injection depth typically prevent significant movement of the product.

The ""5 times a day for 5 days"" rule is a common guideline, but individual recommendations can vary. It's essential to follow the specific instructions provided by the practitioner who performs your treatment, as they are most familiar with their injection technique and how they want the product to settle. If you have concerns about the aftercare, it's crucial to discuss this with your chosen provider before the treatment."

Massaging is not necessary after injecting sculptors or any other soft tissue filler or biostimulator. It may be recommended if after the injection the placement of the product was not exactly where desired. In these cases a gentle massage to help flatten an area if too much was placed or if the placement was not in the exact spot then massaging to move the product over some is possible. If you will massage then this must be done carefully to avoid as you correctly stated “problems”. So not necessary but as a tool for a better outcome.
