I'm wondering about the benefit of Sculptra vs BBL to fill in hip dips?

Question

Hello! I have a nice butt already I just want my hips filled in to give me a more curvy and not so square figure. How often would I need my Sculptra touched up? And how much would it cost for Sculptra to my hips? What would you recommend I do? Thank you!

Sculptra butt injections can help add volume and lift the buttocks in those individuals that do not have enough fat for a traditional brazilian butt lift, or do not want to undergo a surgical procedure. Keep in mind that Sculptra butt lifts usually require multiple vials over multiple treatment sessions and results will never be as dramatic as a brazilian butt lift. However, in the appropriate candidates nice improvement can be seen. I would plan for at least 2 sessions. Make sure you see an experienced physician injector for an in-person consultation and evaluation and to minimize the risks of complications. Best wishes.

In my experience fat grafting is far superior to sculptra for the hip dip areaIn addition you get the benefit of the life of suction for improved body contouring.

Sculptra can be a very nice way to augment butt volume and shape. Photos would be very helpful in guiding you to know how many sessions/vials and expected cost of the treatment., however, it is normal to need a few sessions with 2-4 vials per treatment to get the best results.

Sculptra is just as useful in the buttocks as it is in the hips when it comes to the enhancement of these areas. It is never a single procedure, but instead a series of two or three treatments for optimal results. The amount of filler that needs to be used on an individual is determined through the procedure process and patient evaluation two months following such a procedure. In such a procedure performed by a plastic surgeon like myself, the complications are non-existent but you must be careful and do your research as to where it is you're going to have this treatment done. Make sure this person is a plastic surgeon. Good luck from New York City

Hi. Sculptra is an injected medication which causes the body to produce collagen. Collagen is one of the main components of skin that helps to maintain firmness and lift in the skin. Sculptra is best for thin patients who do not have much fat to donate whereas a BBL is the better option if you do have fat to donate. In addition Sculptra can be useful for pinpoint areas that need volume such as a specific indentation whereas a BBL is better for overall volumization. I would recommend you meet with a provider to have an in person consultation. Good luck!
