What's Best For Your Butt: Surgery or Sculptra®?
It's 2021 and people are ready to say goodbye to their pancake bottom. What can one do to get ⌛ curves when the squat rack is simply not enough? Seek out butt enhancement procedures, that's what. But which one is best?
Have you considered a butt enhancement treatment to fill-out your derriere? Trust me, you're not alone. Genetically speaking, it's near-impossible to get a dream butt on your own.
Butts are the new lips. Many clients ask me about the different butt enhancing treatments on the market. The new Sculptra® Butt Lift is the #1 procedure that brings clients to me, Lea Henderson, so I'm here to drop some facts. 🎤
Keep reading to learn the differences between the Sculptra BBL and surgical butt enhancements. By the end of this, you'll know what's best for you and your 🍑.
Butt Enhancement Surgeries vs. Sculptra® BBL
While all these procedures give you a better backside, they couldn't be more different. Butt Implants and a traditional Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), are surgical procedures. Sculptra is NOT.
A standard Brazilian Butt Lift starts with liposuction. The surgeon sucks fat from areas in the body, then re-injects it into the buttocks and hips.
Butt implants are essentially a boob job for your rump. These solid silicone implants require more invasive surgery and more recovery than a Brazilian Butt Lift operation.
Another option is fat transfer to the butt after liposuction. This is a natural way to increase the volume of your booty, but comes with serious downtime, potential complications and the body absorbs quite a bit of the fat immediately. Some patients have completely lost their fat transfer results within a year 😬.
On the other side of the spectrum is Sculptra. It's a dermal filler of poly-l-lactic acid simply injected into the butt cheeks. Sculptra promotes the natural production of collagen, increasing volume and restoring lost volume.
How do their results differ?
The major difference between surgical butt procedures and a Sculptra Butt Lift are the comfort and risk factors.
With Sculptra the risk of infection, necrosis, or pain is minimal to none. Surgical options and fat transfer do carry a serious risk as the blood supply can be diminished, the body can reject the implants, and the recovery time is no joke.
Sculptra results amplify over time since the injections promote the growth of natural collagen. Not to mention that they tend to look more natural if you don’t go overboard.
Sculptra is safer than any surgical option
Warning: this might make you think twice about surgery. ⚠️
There are serious concerns about whether butt surgeries are safe. Recently, reports surfaced that the death rate following a BBL is 1 in 3,000.
To give you a baseline, the average death rate of cosmetic surgery is between 1 in 250,000 and 1 in 500,000. In short, BBLs are no joke. They can give you beautiful results, but just know that they do come with risks.
THANK GAWD, surgery isn't the only option for a better bum. Sculptra is FDA-approved and a much safer alternative. Here's why Sculptra is great.
The Benefits of a Sculptra BBL
There are a lot of pros to choosing Sculptra over butt implants or a traditional BBL. Some benefits of a Sculptra injectable BBL are:
✨ Non-surgical & a safer alternative
✨ Requires NO downtime
✨ Builds from your natural collagen
✨ Creates a more natural look
✨ Add volume & fill-in hip dips
✨ Subtle improvement with desirable results
✨ Results amplify over time
What to expect from a Sculptra BBL procedure
Most patients require about three treatments. These are spaced six weeks apart.
Results can be noticed immediately after the treatments, but Sculptra needs time to work its magic. 🔮 The optimal outcome appears about six months after the procedure.
Like any dermal filler, Sculptra is temporary - but long-lasting! A Sculptra BBL should last 6-12 months and sometimes longer depending on the patient.
