The results are immediately visible, and the only “catch” is that the procedure needs to be repeated every 1-3 years to maintain the results. It can also serve as a safe trial to determine if you want to undergo a similar surgical procedure for gluteal augmentation with implants or a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) with liposculpture in the future.
- Body Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Specifically designed for the body, it increases volume, providing curves and a healthy look. It is not palpable and fully absorbed by the body within 12-18 months.
- Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) – Sculptra: Another injectable material that functions as a biostimulator. It stimulates our body to produce its own collagen and elastin, thereby increasing volume. PLLA requires 2 or 3 sessions with a 30 – 40day interval.
The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia or sedation, depending on the evaluation by the doctor during your visit to the clinic. The materials must be placed in a fully sterilized surgical room. Skilled hands of a plastic surgeon are the only ones that can safely sculpt your body without any problems. Regarding the chest, it is strictly forbidden to place the material inside the breast gland but rather around it in the décolletage area and below the gland above the pectoralis major muscle.
What will be the post-procedure recovery like?
You should keep the area covered with a special bandage for 2-3 days to limit postoperative swelling. Although it is not a surgical procedure, sculpting soft tissues in any part of the human body causes mild swelling and possible bruising. Tissues need time to heal, and the instructions provided by our doctors aim to facilitate and ensure a smoother recovery after the procedure. Of course, the pleasant experience without pain and problems will justify your choice.
At our clinic, our Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Tzamantaki, will explain all the details concerning your individual needs, such as indications, cost, recovery time, etc.
