Is a Sculptra BBL Worth the Cost? Evaluating the Pros and Cons

Fillers are conquering the cosmetic world at ever-higher rates. That's because injections claim to be able to rival surgical butt enhancement results. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before they became a go-to procedure to accentuate your buttocks.

Given the number of injectables on our social media feeds, it shouldn't be too surprising that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports a noticeable increase in filler formula use.

One popular filler is Sculptra, a poly-L-lactic acid that can contour your butt by increasing your body's collagen production. It serves as an alternative to surgical butt lifts and other procedures.

One of the other procedures used to plump your butt is the Brazilian butt lift (BBL), a fat grafting procedure that uses liposuction to take fat from one place and graft it into your buttocks.

There are also butt implants, and then there is the non-surgical butt lift, in which a surgeon injects the Sculptra BBL filler into your buttocks. Sculptra and fillers such as hyaluronic acid are not designed to add volume immediately.

Sculptra stimulates an inflammatory response in the area, creating new scar tissue and fresh collagen to plump your butt over time.

Some of the Benefits of Sculptra 

The benefits of fillers are that they give you a moderate enhancement result without invasive treatment. They're much more natural-looking than artificial enhancements, ensuring you achieve a contoured and shaped appearance rather than an artificially lifted look that is common with implants. 

The non-surgical butt lift is an excellent option for patients who do not want to undergo abrasive liposuction. The cannula utilized in traditional liposuction uses a painfully manual fat extraction technique that can be compared to grating cheese.

Additionally, traditional liposuction requires a substantial amount of excess fat in one area to shift to your buttocks. Therefore, view Sculptra as the accessible plump butt for the skinnier frames.

Non-surgical butt-lifts also have the benefit of minimal recovery time. Injections in and around your buttocks allow you to continue with your projects and world-changing endeavors.

The Sculptra BBL Cost

Fillers have the caveat of requiring several treatment sessions to obtain the full and desired effect.

Three to four treatment spaces apart is the recommended amount. 

Given that a vial of Sculptra fillers costs about $1,000 and four to seven are used, this non-surgical lift can cost anywhere between $3,000 to $6,000.

Elite Body Sculpture's Next-Generation Butt Lift

Elite Body Sculpture offers a minimally invasive Brazilian butt lift known as the AirSculpt® Power BBL™. If that sounds contradictory to you, do not worry.

It's a minimally invasive fat transfer that doesn't use a scalpel, needle, stitches, or general anesthesia. Patients enjoy a dramatic enhancement that looks and feels much more natural than implants or artificial filler injections.

If you're a patient who has large pockets of stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise, this 2-for-1 experience can slim down trouble areas and simultaneously plump your behind. AirSculpt® uses mechanical tools that pluck fat gently by the cell. This benefit reduces bruising, allows patients to remain wide awake (unlike implant procedures), enhances precision, and improves the viability of fat collected for the transfer step.

At Elite Body Sculpture, we provide quality results with patented AirSculpt® technology, our dedicated staff, and expertly trained surgeon-artists. Head to Elite Body Sculpture Denver or any of our offices across the globe for your first consultation.
