Sculptra
What is sculptra?
Sculptra’s poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) leverages a biostimulatory mechanism to rebuild collagen fibers, providing gradual, natural-looking volume for both breasts and buttocks. Unlike silicone implants, which require invasive surgery, Sculptra offers a non-surgical alternative with minimal downtime and lower risk of complications like capsular contracture. Its results develop slowly over months, avoiding the artificial “implant look” and instead creating a subtle enhancement that aligns with the body’s natural contours. With effects lasting 2–3 years—longer than most temporary fillers—it provides sustained improvement without the need for frequent touch-ups.
Breast enhancement: Increases upper pole fullness (the area above the nipple) to restore volume lost due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuation, and lifts mild sagging for a more youthful shape.
Buttock sculpting: Enhances overall projection, defines the hip-buttock transition, and smooths cellulite by stimulating collagen in the deep dermal layers.
Skin tightening: Improves skin elasticity in areas affected by post-pregnancy laxity or sun damage, by thickening the dermis through collagen production.
Dilute each 150mg Sculptra vial with 16mL sterile water and 1mL lidocaine (for pain management) 24 hours before treatment, allowing the solution to rest to reduce viscosity .
Advise patients to avoid anticoagulants (including herbal supplements like ginkgo biloba) for 14 days before treatment to minimize bruising.
Perform a 3D assessment of the breasts/buttocks to map treatment areas and set realistic expectations.
For breast augmentation, inject into the subglandular plane (between the breast gland and pectoral muscle) to avoid affecting milk ducts, using a cannula for precision.
For buttock sculpting, utilize a retrograde fan technique in the deep subcutaneous layer, injecting while withdrawing the cannula to ensure even product distribution .
Total volume per session ranges from 4–8 vials (600–1200mg), with the number of sessions determined by the patient’s starting volume and goals.
For buttock treatment, recommend wearing a compression garment for 2 weeks to support collagen remodeling and reduce swelling.
For breast augmentation, advise avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous upper body exercise for 4 weeks to protect injection sites.
Instruct all patients to massage treated areas 5 minutes daily for 5 days to prevent PLLA accumulation and promote uniform collagen growth.
Is anesthesia needed?
Local anesthesia (lidocaine in the Sculptra solution) is sufficient for most patients; twilight sedation can be used for larger-volume buttock treatments for added comfort.
Can it replace breast implants?
Sculptra is ideal for patients with mild–moderate volume loss seeking subtle enhancement. For significant size increases or dramatic shape changes, breast implants remain the more effective option.
What are the risks?
Rare complications include nodules (managed with massage), bruising, or asymmetry—all minimized with proper injection technique and post-care.
When will I see results?
Initial swelling fades within 1–2 weeks, with noticeable collagen-driven volume appearing at 8–12 weeks; full results develop over 4–6 months.
Lifts and improves the shape and contour of the buttocks
Sculptra improves breast hollowness and enlarges breasts
