Sculptra® Butt Lift
Sculptra® Butt Lift in Vancouver, BC
Sculptra® is a collagen-stimulating injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). When used in the buttocks, it helps improve volume, texture, and firmness by encouraging the body to rebuild collagen, rather than adding instant filler volume.
Concerns
Volume Loss
Skin Texture
Fine Line & Wrinkles
Treatment Time
40-90 minutes
Downtime
Minimal downtime. Temporary swelling, tenderness, or bruising at injection sites may occur and typically resolves within a few days.
How It Works
Sculptra® stimulates collagen production deep within the tissue. Over the following weeks and months, newly formed collagen gradually improves skin thickness, firmness, and contour, resulting in a smoother, more lifted appearance. Results develop slowly and naturally, making Sculptra® well suited for subtle enhancement.
Consultation & Planning
Most patients benefit from a series of 2–3 treatment sessions, spaced 6–8 weeks apart, with the amount of product tailored to the individual. Results continue to improve over several months as collagen builds.

Find clear, professional answers to common questions about our procedures and services.
What is Sculptra®, and how is it different from traditional fillers?
Sculptra® is a collagen stimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid. It does not provide immediate volumization. Instead, it is designed to gradually improve skin thickness and volume through collagen production over a series of treatments.
How many vials are typically needed for the hips/buttocks?
The buttocks require significantly more product than facial treatments. Most patients need anywhere from 10–20+ vials per session and typically 2-3 sessions to achieve a meaningful result. The number depends on your body composition, the degree of enhancement desired, and your individual response to treatment.
How long does the appointment take?
A Sculptra® BBL session typically takes 60–90 minutes from start to finish, including preparation, numbing, injection, and post-treatment instructions. It's done in-office with no general anesthesia required.
When will I see results — and how do I know it's working?
You'll likely notice some immediate swelling and fullness right after treatment but this fades within days as the fluid is absorbed. The real results develop gradually over 6–12 weeks as your body produces new collagen in response to the treatment.
Is Sculptra® considered permanent?
No. While collagen stimulation may provide longer-lasting improvement compared to traditional fillers, Sculptra® is not permanent. Maintenance treatments may be required.
How does the Sculptra® BBL compare to a surgical BBL in terms of results?
A surgical BBL using fat transfer can produce more dramatic volumization, it's a higher-ceiling procedure. Sculptra® BBL offers a more modest, natural enhancement with a very different risk profile and no surgical downtime. They serve different patients with different goals. Sculptra® offers a subtle lift, improved skin quality, and gradual enhancement.
