Sculptra is a great product for building new collagen that has been lost over time.  Sculptra has been out since 1999 and has become a great alternative to fillers for facial injections. Sculptra will last for approximately 2 years when injected correctly with the proper amount of product.  In most instances, you will see an improvement immediately followed by a decrease in volume.  Results with Sculptra takes time, since the collagen needs to build up to see the results.  People may require 2-3 treatments with 1 treatment each month.

Sculptra has recently shown great results when injected into the buttocks.  Candidates for the sculptra butt lift (aka Brazilian Butt Lift) are people who do not have enough fat to transfer.  The sculptra is injected into the proper areas to give a fullness and projection to make it appear larger and rounder.  The procedure is performed under a local anesthetic with no downtime.  I long cannula is placed under the skin which delivers the product to the desired area.  Possible side effects include swelling, bruising, pain at the injection site, tenderness.  The area needs to be massaged to help evenly distribute the product throughout the area.
