Would butt fillers help correct asymmetry and difference in volume? (photo)

Question

Left butt cheeck has less volume . I don‘t want to go under a major surgery (BBL) I need just a touch up to give a symmetry. Would butt fillers work? And if so how many mls would I need?

If you are not wanting to undergo a surgical procedure you can consider Sculptra.  This is not an HA filler and works differently to give longer lasting results.  Multiple treatment sessions may be needed to build the result you are wanting.  I've included a video on how Sculptra works that I hope you find helpful.

Hi @rama9. Thank you so much for your question. 
Butt fillers as known as biopolymers will never be a recommendations, this type of substances are not good and safe for your body. Please have a physical evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon and have the best options for you. 
Good luck!

I have unfortunately had many patients come to me after having their high hopes for buttock/hip augmentation crushed by measly Sculptra results or other "fillers" such as Radiesse, Renuva and Juvederm, etc. Other than the fact that these are not FDA approved for buttock/hip injections, here are some critical points of awareness: 1) they all are temporary, lasting 1.5 - 2 years at very most, 2) if done correctly dermal fillers like Sculptra or Renuva are cost prohibitive for 99% of potential buttock/hip augmentation patients. In order to create a significant/noticeable result with a dermal filler, at least 200 mls of active product (not just “total ccs of fluid injected” of which contains mostly saline not Sculptra) must be injected into each buttock cheek for a total of 400 mls. At $1000 per ml, this equates to a minimum price of $400,000.00. Thus if your doctor is recommending to put in ONLY 20 or 40 mls of these fillers you will pay $20,000-$40,000 and get an insignificant miniscule result! (eg. like a “drop in the ocean” effect), 3) Do not let anybody tell you that the product is so special that it's going to magically grow over the following months or years...this just does not happen to any noticeable degree!, 4) dermal fillers, when injected in large quantities, have a relatively high infection rate, guaranteed tendency to migrate away from the original area they were injected into, and almost always stimulate a lot of inflammation with a subsequent and disastrous amount of scar tissue/hardening, and 5) the one very serious complication that can rarely ( less than 1%) happen is "embolism" in which some of the filler gets into the blood stream and travels up into the lungs, heart, and/or brain causing serious problems, including death.

As well, fat transfer to the outer buttock and  hip dips, especially on lean patients, has a poor survival rate and thus often slighted results.

The only relatively safe, reliable, and permanent option for buttock and hip dip augmentation is with implants.

Hope this all helps you make a better informed decision and saves you a lot of your otherwise hard earned money.

Thank you for the question. I recommend getting sculptra BBL or butt lift which is a nonsurgical treatment to enhance your own collagen to create volume and symmetry. I wouldnt suggest actual dermal fillers for augmentation. Sculptra is pain free, safe, with no downtime. You may require 2-3 treatments over a course of 12 weeks but the results last more than 3 years and will look natural.

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

While your buttock asymmetry is quite small, the non autologous fat injections are too small and costly to fill the void.  The syringes are only 1-5cc's each, so there is very little volume added.  Most products are temporary (non-permanent).  
Best wishes.
