Sculptra Body and Buttock Treatment
Non Surgical Body Contouring with a Gradual Approach
Sculptra body treatment uses poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate collagen in selected body areas. For appropriate patients, it may support gradual improvement in contour, shape, skin quality and localized volume.
This treatment is not surgery and does not reproduce the result of a surgical Brazilian butt lift or implant. The change is progressive, and the amount of achievable enhancement depends on anatomy, tissue quality, product amount and individual collagen response.

Assessment and Treatment Plan
Dina reviews medical history, previous body procedures, anatomy, skin quality and desired outcome. The consultation includes a realistic discussion of the number of sessions, product requirements, expected degree of change, limitations, cost and alternatives.

What to Expect
Treatment involves multiple injections distributed according to the planned contour. Temporary fullness from fluid is expected to settle. Collagen-related results develop gradually and may require a series of sessions.

Recovery and Risks
Bruising, swelling, tenderness and temporary firmness are common. Other potential risks include infection, asymmetry, nodules, inflammatory reactions and an unsatisfactory contour. Body injections require careful technique and follow-up. Patients should report severe pain, significant colour change, rapidly increasing swelling, fever or other unexpected symptoms promptly.

Sculptra Body FAQ
Is this a surgical butt lift?+
No. It is a non-surgical biostimulatory treatment and produces a different scale and type of result.
How many vials will I need?+
Product requirements vary substantially with body size, treatment area and goals. An estimate is provided only after assessment.
Are results immediate?+
No. Early swelling settles, and the intended collagen response develops over time.
