Liquid butt lifts generally use two main types of fillers: Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Sculptra Aesthetic. HA fillers are injected under the skin to increase the size and shape of the buttocks, providing a plumping effect and smoother appearance. Sculptra Aesthetic contains microparticles of Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PPLA) that stimulate collagen growth, resulting in firmer buttocks and addressing concerns like hip dips. Both fillers are safe and commonly used to enhance the volume and shape of the buttocks, offering a non-invasive way to add curves and smooth out irregularities.

Some reasons for individuals to consider a liquid butt lift include a desire for fuller and more lifted buttocks, minimal downtime during recovery compared to surgical butt lifts, the non-invasive nature of the procedure with fewer associated risks and side effects, and the preference for a non-surgical approach based on personal choice.

Liquid butt lifts may not be suitable for all individuals, especially those with significant skin laxity or sagging in the buttocks area. Good candidates typically have the following characteristics:

• Desire a modest increase in the size and shape of their buttocks.

• Prefer to avoid undergoing a surgical procedure.

• Possess sufficient deposits in other areas of the body that can serve as donor sites for filler injections, such as the thighs or abdomen.

• Are in good overall health.

• Are willing to undergo multiple treatment sessions to achieve desired results.

• Have realistic expectations.

Step One – Anesthesia

Your surgeon will administer anesthesia, typically in the form of local anesthesia or a combination of local anesthesia and sedation, to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Step Two – Marking & Positioning

Once the anesthesia takes effect, the surgeon will mark the areas of the buttocks to guide the injections. They will position you in a way that allows easy access to the treatment area.

Step Three – Injection of Filler

Using a fine needle or cannula, the surgeon will inject the chosen filler substance into the buttocks. The injection technique may vary depending on the surgeon’s preference and the specific filler being used. The surgeon will carefully inject the filler in multiple areas to achieve the desired shape and volume. They may also massage the treated area to ensure the even distribution of the filler.

Step Four – See the Results

After the injections are complete, the surgeon will provide instructions for post-operative care. This may include recommendations for pain management, instructions on wearing compression garments, and guidelines for activities and movement restrictions.

A liquid butt lift is a relatively quick and minimally invasive procedure. Generally, it can take between 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete. However, the duration of the procedure may vary depending on the individual case and the amount of filler substance used.

After the procedure, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and soreness in the treated area, which usually subside within a week. To minimize pressure on the treated area, patients are advised to avoid sitting or lying on their back and instead sleep on their stomach or side with the support of a cushion or pillow. Most patients can resume work and normal activities within a few days but should refrain from strenuous exercise and activities involving bending or stretching for about a week. Following post-procedure instructions, including prescribed medications and treatments, is crucial for optimal results and to reduce the risk of complications.

The results of a liquid butt lift are typically immediately visible. Following the procedure, patients may experience some swelling and bruising. The full extent of the results may take several weeks to become apparent as the swelling decreases and the filler settles into place. Patients should expect to see an improvement in the shape, size, and contour of their buttocks, resulting in a fuller and more lifted appearance.

The results of a liquid butt lift are not permanent. Depending on the type of filler used during the procedure, the results can last anywhere from several months to a few years. As the filler gradually metabolizes in the body, patients may choose to undergo repeat treatments to achieve a long-lasting and natural-looking outcome.

The cost of a liquid butt lift can vary depending on several factors, including the amount & type of filler used, geographic location, the surgeon & their experience, and any additional services included in the treatment. In Canada, the average cost of a liquid butt lift can range from approximately $2,500 to $8,000.

Like any cosmetic procedure, a liquid butt lift carries potential risks and side effects, which may include but are not limited to:

• Infection

• Severe pain or discomfort

• Allergic reaction to the filler substance

• Hematoma

• Irregularities or asymmetry

• Filler migration

• Necrosis

• The need for additional treatment
