Answer: Hello Jameela

Sculptra, an injectable poly-L-lactic acid treatment, for natural and long-lasting rejuvenation effects. A treatment working beneath the surface, growing results that blossom over time.

1. Deep Collagen Restoration
Sculptra isn’t just a quick fix; it's a gentle coaxing of your skin's underlying support structures, rebuilding what time has gently unraveled. Unlike other injectables that focus on immediate volume, Sculptra stimulates collagen over a few months, creating the most authentic “you-but-better” transformation.

2. Long-Lasting Results
Imagine skincare with an ROI—an investment in your skin that continues to pay dividends long after the treatment. Results typically last two years or more, with studies showing some patients retain benefits for up to five years. Sculptra is about creating beauty that goes the distance.

3. Natural, Gradual Enhancement
Sculptra subtly refines your appearance over time. This gradual development allows for an organic-looking boost without any sudden changes, blending seamlessly with natural contours.

4. Full-Face Versatility
Sculptra can be used to address a host of age-related concerns: volume loss in the cheeks, temple hollowness, nasolabial folds, and even jawline definition. It's the all-around rejuvenator that breathes new life into your entire facial structure.

5. Boosts Skin Quality
Beyond volume, Sculptra improves overall skin texture and tone, leaving skin firmer, smoother, and more vibrant. It’s a holistic approach—helping skin function better from within. Uniquely Sculptra not only enhances shape and volume it also improves skin creepiness' and cellulite.

With 15 years of experience in facial rejuvenation using Sculptra, I have found it to be a reliable and effective method for gradual, natural-looking results. However, when it comes to Sculptra for buttock enhancement, I do not offer this treatment, despite being trained in it. The risks associated with injecting into the buttocks are significant and concerning. Complications can be severe, including the potential for stroke or serious infections that may require hospitalization. For this reason, I support the Save Face campaign, which advocates for banning this procedure in the UK.

If you are considering a buttock enhancement, my strong recommendation is to seek out only UK-registered plastic surgeons who specialize in this area. Opting for a professional who uses ultrasound-guided fat transfer, performed in a fully equipped operating theatre, provides the highest level of safety, ensuring sterile conditions and precise technique. This approach not only prioritizes safety but also offers the best chance for achieving a sustainable, natural result.

Kind regards
Dr Victoria
