How does a non-surgical butt lift compare to fat grafting?
Fat grafting buttock augmentation, or a Brazilian butt lift, is a popular method to increase the size, lift, and rounded look of the butt. In this procedure, fat taken from your own body is injected to augment and reshape the buttocks. Unlike the non-surgical butt lift using Sculptra, fat grafting requires liposuction to harvest the fat from a donor site. An added benefit of this procedure is that the area from which the fat is harvested (such as the abdomen, hips, or love handles) can be slimmed and sculpted to enhance your figure.
