About
Sculptra is a bio-stimulant that helps create a fuller and more lifted buttocks by making your own collagen. After 1-2 injections there is a significant increase in the firmness, and fullness of the buttocks that lasts years to come.
During your consultation with Dr. Kormeili you will discuss all your concerns and will leave with a comprehensive treatment plan to achieve your goals for the lovely booty you deserve!
Sculptra works by stimulating your own body to produce collagen in response to the Poly L Lactic Acid. Collagen helps fill in the hollows and atrophic dimples, correct asymmetries as well as provide overall firming and lifting to the skin. The results last 2-3 years, and unlike fat, it won’t look soft and “dimply” but firm and tight because it is your own collagen.
Often, Sculptra for the buttocks is combined with EMSculpting to create more muscle tone as well as fullness. We can also Coolsculpt the “unwanted fatty areas” around the buttocks to create a natural and beautiful contour for the buttocks. Ulthera has been used to create tissue rejuvenation and tightening of the tissues as well.
Results
Unlike a Brazilian butt lift where only 60% to 80% of the fat transfer remain, Sculptra gets better over time. Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and induces the production of your own collagen. Collagen helps fill in the hollows and hollow dimples, corrects asymmetries, while providing an overall firming and lifting to the buttocks. The results last years, and unlike fat, it won’t look soft and “dimply” but firm and tight because it is your own collagen. Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). While Sculptra is very safe and effective, it isn’t recommended for people with allergies to any of its ingredients.

How many cc’s in a vial of Sculptra?
Sculptra is available in a powder form. It is reconstituted with sterile saline to various dilutions depending on the area of the body we are correcting. Too dilute results in minimal effects or migration far beyond desired area. Too concentrated and we are at risk for granulomas (“gumba balls formed under the skin). Additionally, care must be placed to do all these dilutions under sterile technique as contamination can result in various serious infections. Sculptra injection is a medical treatment and should not be taken lightly by inexperienced hands.
Does Sculptra go away?
The immediate filling effects of Sculptra post injection do go away in one week. This is because Sculptra is a powder that is reconstituted in sterile saline to deliver the active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Immediately upon injection the PLLA molecules begin your own natural collagen formation. Sculptra works by stimulating your own body to produce collagen in response to the Poly L Lactic Acid. Collagen helps fill in the hollows and atrophic dimples, correct asymmetries as well as provide overall firming and lifting to the buttocks.

Coolsculpting treatments can help reduce unwanted fatty areas around the buttocks while EMSculpt treatments can enhance the actual muscles of the buttocks to further lift and firm up. Dr. Kormeili will decide which combination of treatments will help you achieve your optimal results.
