What is the Sculptra® Aesthetic Liquid Butt Lift?
The Sculptra® Aesthetic injectable is most commonly used to reverse the signs of facial fat loss that occur with aging. The Sculptra® injections are regularly used to restore collagen and fill out nasolabial folds. Sculptra® Aesthetic can also be used to achieve a “liquid butt lift.” Dr. Bertolino uses several vials in the upper pole of the buttock to raise and contour, giving a lift and better S-curve. The effects last approximately 2 years.
Sculptra® Aesthetic’s main component is an alpha hydroxy acid called poly-L-lactic acid. PLLA which is a safe and long-lasting, biocompatible, biodegradable substance that has been used for over 20 years in various surgical products, including dissolvable sutures and soft-tissue implants.
How many Sculptra® injections are needed?
The number of injections and treatments needed depends on how many vials are needed, which depends on the person and the look desired. No more than 2 vials will be added per side at any appointment. The plus side is there is no downtime! There is some post-injection discomfort which can last for 1-2 hours.

Can a patient have a consultation and get Sculptra® injections on the same day?
Yes, a patient can have a consultation on the same day as their treatment. Please call to schedule an appointment.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment area is numbed with anesthetic cream prior to the Sculptra® injections. Sculptra® Aesthetic also has lidocaine mixed in to cause less pain.
What to Expect After Your Sculptra Injections
Most people experience minor swelling, tenderness, or bruising immediately after Sculptra injections. These side effects typically improve within the first 24 to 48 hours. While the treatment area may feel fuller at first, this is often temporary swelling rather than true volume.
Collagen production begins gradually over the next several weeks, with visible improvements typically noticeable by six to eight weeks. Full results usually develop after a series of treatments, spaced several weeks apart.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Sculptra Butt Lift?
Sculptra is a good option if you’re in generally good health and want to shape or add volume to your buttocks without surgery. Most people who choose this treatment are in their 20s to 50s and are looking for a natural-looking boost, but not dramatic changes. It’s a great fit if you have a flatter shape or just want to improve your curves a bit.
There are some cases where Sculptra may not be recommended, like if you have certain allergies, an autoimmune condition, or an active skin issue. Dr. Bertolino can help figure out if it’s the right option for you during your consultation.
What Is the Difference Between Sculptra and Other Non-Surgical Butt Lift Options?
Sculptra works differently from most other butt lift treatments. Instead of adding instant volume like traditional fillers, it encourages your body to build its own collagen over time. This means results appear gradually but tend to last longer (often up to two years).
Fat transfer in a Brazilian Butt Lift requires liposuction and recovery time, but Sculptra is completely non-surgical with little downtime. It’s a good choice if you want a more subtle change without going through surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
You’ll be able to get back to light activity pretty quickly, usually the same day or the next. That said, most people are advised to take a break from hard workouts for 24 to 48 hours. This gives your body a little time to settle and lets any swelling or tenderness ease up.
After that short rest period, you should be able to return to your usual exercise routine without any problems. Always follow any aftercare advice from Dr. Bertolino based on how your body responds.
Yes, Sculptra works well for nearly all skin tones and body types. The main ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, is biocompatible, meaning your body can safely absorb it over time.
While reactions are rare, people with certain autoimmune conditions, skin infections, or specific allergies might not be a good fit for this treatment. Dr. Bertolino will go over your health history and help decide if Sculptra makes sense for you.
Sculptra can be placed carefully to fill in hip dips or balance out minor uneven areas in the buttocks. Because it works by stimulating your body’s own collagen, the volume builds gradually, giving you a more even look over time.
