Radiesse Butt Lift: The Non-Surgical Way to Lift, Contour, and Enhance
While the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a popular procedure for those looking to enhance the look of their glutes, it can be a high-risk procedure with dangerous side effects. At Laser Touch Medical Clinic, Dr. Kamran Hakimian and Dr. Tina Hakimian recommend the non-surgical Radiesse Butt Lift. A Radiesse Butt Lift will help you achieve a more subtle and natural looking contour.
Radiesse is a dermal filler traditionally used to treat wrinkles, lines, and facial volume loss. However, in recent years, its benefits have been applied to other areas of the body, including the buttocks. A Radiesse butt lift involves injecting this FDA-approved injectable into the gluteal area to add volume, lift, and contour the buttocks.
Unlike traditional buttock augmentation procedures, such as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) or implants, a Radiesse butt lift is minimally invasive. The procedure doesn’t require general anesthesia, long recovery times, or significant risks associated with surgery.
How Does Radiesse Butt Lift Work?
Radiesse is made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel. Once injected into the skin, the gel provides immediate volume and lift, while the CaHA particles stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a natural protein that adds structure and firmness to the skin, which means your results will continue to improve over time.
Here’s how the procedure typically works:
Consultation: During your initial consultation, a licensed practitioner will assess your goals and determine the right amount of Radiesse required to achieve your desired look.
Preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure you are comfortable during the procedure.
Injection: The Radiesse filler is strategically injected into the buttocks. The practitioner will use their experience to create a balanced, natural-looking lift and contour.
Results: Most people see immediate results, with additional improvements over the following weeks as collagen production is stimulated.
Benefits of a Radiesse Butt Lift
1. Non-Surgical
One of the biggest draws of a Radiesse butt lift is that it’s a non-surgical alternative to traditional buttock augmentation procedures. There’s no need for incisions, general anesthesia, or lengthy recovery periods.
2. Natural-Looking Results
Unlike some surgical procedures, a Radiesse butt lift creates a more natural, subtle enhancement. The results are customizable and tailored to suit your body type and aesthetic goals.
3. Minimal Downtime
Patients typically experience little to no downtime after a Radiesse butt lift. There may be mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, but these symptoms usually resolve within a few days. Most people can resume normal activities shortly after the treatment.
4. Gradual Enhancement
As Radiesse stimulates collagen production, your buttocks will continue to improve in shape and volume over time. This gradual enhancement often leads to results that look natural and last longer.
5. Versatile
Radiesse is a versatile treatment that can also be used in other areas of the body for rejuvenation, such as the hands, face, and even the chest area. Its ability to restore lost volume while stimulating collagen makes it a popular choice for those looking for overall body rejuvenation.
What to Expect During a Radiesse Butt Lift Procedure
The procedure typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the amount of filler used and the extent of the area being treated. The process is relatively quick and requires minimal preparation.
While the injections themselves are well-tolerated, some people may experience mild discomfort, especially if the gluteal area is particularly sensitive. However, any discomfort is usually manageable, and the numbing cream applied before the procedure will help minimize pain.
After the procedure, you’ll be able to see immediate results, though final results may take a few weeks to fully manifest as the body adjusts and collagen production increases.
Post-Treatment Care
After a Radiesse butt lift, it's important to follow your practitioner’s post-treatment guidelines to ensure optimal results:
Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for a few days after treatment to allow the filler to settle and minimize pressure on the injection sites.
Limit strenuous exercise for a few days to prevent swelling or bruising.
Stay hydrated and avoid smoking, as both can interfere with collagen production.
Since the treatment is non-invasive, you won’t have to deal with the long recovery times associated with surgical procedures, making Radiesse a more convenient option for many.
How Long Do Radiesse Butt Lift Results Last?
One of the attractive features of Radiesse butt lifts is their long-lasting results. While the exact duration will vary from person to person, most patients can expect their enhanced volume and lift to last anywhere from 1 to 2 years. Over time, the results gradually diminish as the body absorbs the filler and the natural aging process continues. However, many patients choose to undergo maintenance treatments to preserve their enhanced shape.
Is a Radiesse Butt Lift Right for You?
While a Radiesse butt lift offers many benefits, it’s not suitable for everyone. The best candidates for this treatment are those who want to add subtle volume or contour to their buttocks without undergoing surgery. If you’re looking for a dramatic change or if you have significant sagging or excess skin, a surgical procedure like a BBL might be more appropriate.
It’s crucial to consult with a skilled and experienced provider to determine the best treatment plan for your goals.
