How Many Sessions Are Needed for Non-Surgical Butt Augmentation?
Imagine achieving the curves you’ve always dreamed of without having to undergo a surgical procedure. Non-surgical butt augmentation is revolutionizing the way people enhance their figures, offering fuller, rounder buttocks with little to no downtime. But how many sessions will it take to sculpt your ideal shape?
At The Gillian Institute in Indianapolis, we understand that every body is unique. Our expert team tailors each treatment to help you achieve the backside you’ve always wanted. Here, we explain the typical number of sessions patients get and what might affect how many you need to achieve your desired results.
Understanding Non-Surgical Butt Augmentation
Before diving into how many sessions you might need, it’s important to understand what non-surgical butt augmentation involves. Unlike traditional butt lifts or Brazilian Butt Lifts that require surgery, non-surgical options rely on injectable dermal fillers to add volume and shape to the buttocks. In some cases, multiple sessions may be necessary to build up the desired volume gradually. This method is ideal for those who are not ready for surgery or prefer a more gradual enhancement.
Dermal Filler Options for Butt Enhancement
At The Gillian Institute, the butt augmentation procedure is performed using three primary injectables: Radiesse, Sculptra and Bellafill. Each of these fillers has unique properties that contribute to the overall results, and the choice of filler will depend on your needs and aesthetic goals.
Radiesse®: Immediate Lift and Contour
Radiesse is a dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. This filler provides an immediate lifting effect by adding volume to the buttocks. What sets Radiesse apart is its ability to promote your body’s regeneration of collagen. As new collagen fibers develop over time, the results become even more pronounced, offering both immediate and long-lasting butt enhancement.
Sculptra®: Gradual Volume and Natural Results
Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) filler that gradually increases volume in the treated area. Unlike Radiesse, Sculptra doesn’t provide an immediate lift. Instead, it stimulates collagen production over several weeks or months, leading to a more natural and subtle enhancement. This gradual approach makes Sculptra an excellent choice for those who prefer a more understated and natural-looking result.
Bellafill®: Long-Lasting Volume and Firmness
Bellafill is a unique filler that combines collagen with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres. It provides immediate volume while also offering long-term benefits by stimulating collagen production. Bellafill is known for its longevity, with results lasting up to five years in some cases. This makes it an attractive option for those seeking a more lasting solution to butt augmentation without surgery.
What Influences the Number of Filler Sessions Needed for Butt Enhancement?
In general, most patients require one to three dermal filler sessions to achieve their desired butt shape and size. However, the exact number varies from person to person. Several factors come into play, including your desired outcome, current body contour and the specific filler used. Understanding these factors will give you a better idea of what to expect with your treatment.
Desired Outcome: Tailoring the Treatment to Your Goals
Your desired outcome plays a significant role in determining how many sessions you’ll need. If you’re looking for a subtle enhancement, you may require fewer sessions compared to someone seeking a more dramatic change. At The Gillian Institute, we take the time to understand your goals during your initial consultation, allowing us to create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your vision.
Current Body Contour: Starting Point Matters
Your starting point, or current body contour, is another crucial factor. The existing shape and volume of your buttocks will influence the amount of filler needed and the number of treatments required. Patients with more buttock volume may require fewer sessions to achieve their desired results. Conversely, those with less volume may need additional sessions to reach their goals.
Filler Type and Quantity: The Right Combination for You
The type of filler used also impacts the number of sessions needed. As mentioned earlier, Radiesse, Sculptra and Bellafill each have different properties and durations of effectiveness. Depending on your goals and the specific filler chosen, your provider at The Gillian Institute will recommend the appropriate number of sessions. Additionally, the quantity of filler used in each session can vary.
Skin Quality: Elasticity and Thickness
Your skin’s quality, including its elasticity and thickness, can affect how the filler settles and how many sessions you’ll need. Patients with firmer, more elastic skin may see quicker results with fewer sessions. On the other hand, those with thinner or less elastic skin might require more sessions to achieve the same effect. The Gillian Institute carefully assesses your skin during the consultation to provide a realistic estimate of the number of treatments needed.
Individual Response to Treatment: Personal Variability
Every patient responds differently to treatment, which can influence the number of sessions required. Some patients may see significant improvements after just one or two sessions, while others may need additional treatments for their desired outcome. Factors such as how your body metabolizes the filler and how well your skin responds to collagen stimulation play a role in this variability.
Longevity of Results: How Long Will Non-Surgical Butt Augmentation Last?
The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used. Radiesse typically lasts about 12 to 18 months, making it a good option for those seeking a moderate-term solution. Sculptra, with its gradual collagen stimulation, can provide results that last up to two years or more. Bellafill offers the longest-lasting results, with some patients enjoying their enhanced contours for up to five years. Your specialist at The Gillian Institute will discuss these timelines with you during your consultation so that you can make an informed decision.
How Often Will I Need Maintenance Sessions to Keep My Curves?
To maintain your results, you may need to schedule maintenance sessions every one to five years, depending on the filler used and how your body metabolizes it. These sessions are typically less frequent than the initial series of treatments and help to preserve the volume and shape you’ve achieved. The Gillian Institute will work with you to develop a filler maintenance plan that fits your lifestyle and aesthetic goals.
The Role of a Healthy Lifestyle in Prolonging Your Results
While non-surgical butt augmentation can significantly enhance your appearance, maintaining a healthy lifestyle plays a vital role in prolonging your results. Eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise and staying hydrated all contribute to the overall health of your skin and the longevity of your filler. By taking care of your body, you can maximize the benefits of your treatment and continue to enjoy your enhanced curves.
