Is Sculptra a safe injectible for the buttocks? Costs?

Hello and thank you for posting.
Sculptra has been approved for over a decade now and has a proven safety profile for facial injections. It has also been used off label as a means to treat cellulite and also for buttock enhancement.

The major challenge with using Sculptra for buttock enhancement is that it takes a lot of product, it’s expensive, and the overall results are modest. We have been using between 15 and 40 vials per patient to achieve conservative, but meaningful results. We have not seen any significant adverse effects in our patients.

The costs range between $7500 to $20,000 and this of course depends on how many vials are needed.  The results should last for 2 to 3 years based on the results that one sees with Sculptra for facial volume reflation. 

I hope this information helps and good luck.

Sculptra is a safe alternative for creating volume in the buttocks. Its been used in the face for over 10 years and has a proven safety record. Typically, at least 20 vials are needed to see an effect with reports of some people getting up to 40. Total cost will be 10-15K in most cases. It is not to be used for creating extremely large enhancements but only for modest ones. I perform these in my office with cannulas and no anesthesia and they are tolerated very well. It takes 15-20 and do them in a series of about 2-3. See the video.
