PLLA Collagen for Buttock Augmentation Butt Lift Poly L Lactic Acid
What is the non-surgical butt lifting technique?
Now, we are noting an increase in the use of PLLA, a poly-L-lactic acid that plumps by stimulating your body's own collagen production - as an alternative to surgical butt-lifts. For the non-surgical butt-lift, the filler PLLA is the one that's best suited to this purpose because you can get a fairly significant augmentation without actually using that much product. PLLA promotes your own collagen to grow around the product. PLLA triggers an inflammatory response that creates a combination of scar tissue and collagen.
Can PLLA be used for 'Hip Dips'?
Hip Dips are a common term used when there is lack of volume between the hip bone and upper thigh area. While it is usually more common in thinner patients, all body types can experience this depression and indentation due to bone structure or low-fat volume present. Since hip dips are caused by pelvic bone structure or lack of muscle-mass, it can seem next to impossible to fix! PLLA
is a proven and easy way to fill in the indentations and give the curvy, hourglass shape you've been wanting by stimulating collagen production for volume growth.
While every patient differs, it is usually recommended to start with 8-12 vials at each visit. 2-3 visits are usually recommended.
Composition:
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid (150 mg)

Q: What is a "PLLA Butt Lift?"
A: PLLA, or poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA), is a dermal filler used for skin and soft tissue augmentation. PLLA stimulates the body's own collagen production and can be used for volume restoration and skin rejuvenation. Most studies thus far have focused on its use for fat loss in the face . In recent years, an off-label application for use in the buttocks has been explored with good results.
Q: What does the procedure entail?
A: First, topical lidocaine is applied to the area to be injected. Once the skin is numbed (usually after 30 minutes), PLLA is injected to the upper buttock with very small needles. Depending on the desired level of augmentation, most patients require about three treatments, six weeks apart. Although results can be noticed as early as six weeks after the treatments, the optimal outcome is not noticed until about six months after the procedure.
Q: Who is an ideal candidate for a "PLLA Butt Lift?"
A: Ideal patients are between 25-45 years of age, near their ideal body weight and wish to improve volume and texture of the buttocks.
Q: What are some of the reasons your patients come in requesting this procedure?
A: My patients desire a natural-looking improvement in their buttocks with minimal side effects. Typically, they're young, athletic women (personal trainers, yoga instructors, etc.) who have lost fat in the upper pole of their buttocks due to vigorous exercise and caloric restrictions. They often feel that they have developed a more masculine contour of the buttocks and wish to restore the feminine curves in a fast, noninvasive manner with minimal downtime. Other patients complain of cellulite and stretch marks and simply wish to improve the skin texture and irregularity.
Q: How long does recovery take? How long do results last?
A: There is minimal downtime-you may have some bruise marks at the injection site that may last for 7-10 days, but that is it. Other rare complications include the formation of small nodules under the skin, which may have to be treated by a doctor for resolution. Patients are encouraged to massage the area throughout the day for the first five days after the procedure. Maximum results may last 18 months to two years after the injections. However, a small degree of patients may see improvements lasting much longer.
Q: What do you believe are the benefits of a "PLLA Butt Lift" versus a surgical procedure like a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A: Patients who want a "PLLA Butt Lift" are those who don't have time for the downtime. They often want to avoid going under general anesthesia and don't want the scars associated with surgery. Also, some patients may not be good candidates for the fat transfer portion of a surgical butt lift, as they may not have enough fat for the procedure.
There have also been some well-documented side effects with both silicone butt implants and fat injections in the buttocks that influence a patient's decision. Due to the side effects associated with surgery and prolonged downtime, this nonsurgical alternative is a great advantage over surgical options. PLLA Aesthetic is an injectable semipermanent filler that has a great safety record when used in the face and I'm looking forward to more robust studies that evaluate its effectiveness on the buttocks, including a large-scale one my office is conducting.
