What happen if you don't massage buttocks Sculptra injections?

In my opinion, no problems should develop if you did not massage your buttocks after a Sculptra treatment. The treatment should still work. I normally massage the treated area after Sculptra injections but do not have the patients do so unless they want to.

Hi, thank you for your question! The 5,5,5 massage that we have patients do after injection is just a recommendation. The massage helps prevent nodules and build up of sculptra in one area of the buttocks. The sculptra will still work without performing the massage.

The massage aspect of Sculptra post-procedure care is important. It has less to do with the efficacy of your procedure, and more to do with the avoidance of lumps and bumps that can form. The goal is to have a more homogenous collagen increase and not lumps or nodules of collagen in the injected areas. So your Sculptra will work without massage, but to avoid less desirable side effects you really want to perform the proper massage: 5 minutes, 5 times a day for 5 days.
