Areas Treated with Butt Lift

At Livia Med Spa in Tampa, FL, your comfort and safety are our absolute priorities. For your Butt Lift session, we apply a high-strength, medical-grade topical numbing cream to the target area prior to beginning the procedure. During the treatment, most patients report feeling pressure and a deep, dull ache during the cannula passes. We use local anesthetics to ensure a comfortable injection process. Overall, our clients find the procedure highly tolerable, and Angela Spicola, APRN will continuously monitor your comfort level, adjusting device settings to ensure a relaxed and pleasant experience from start to finish.

To achieve the absolute best outcome and long-lasting improvements, we typically recommend an initial series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced 6 weeks apart. This allows the biological stimulation and dermal repair mechanisms to compound over time, leading to more structural and visible improvements. During your initial aesthetic consultation at our Tampa med spa, we will analyze your skin type and design a customized session protocol tailored specifically to your unique skin health goals.

The recovery process for Butt Lift is minimal, with temporary soreness and bruising similar to a heavy lower-body workout. There is no downtime, but you must perform the 5-5-5 massage protocol for 5 days. Immediately following your treatment, it is common to experience mild localized redness, slight swelling, or a warm sensation similar to a light sunburn. These side effects are a natural indicator that the skin's regenerative healing cascade has been successfully triggered and typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours. Most clients easily return to work and resume their daily schedules the very next day with no disruption.

The Sculptra butt lift is safe for all skin types and is ideal for individuals who want to enhance volume, smooth hip dips, or improve cellulite dimples without surgery or the downtime of a fat transfer. Under the supervision of a licensed practitioner like Angela Spicola, APRN, we customize settings for all Fitzpatrick skin categories to maintain safety and deliver optimal anti-aging care.

Many clients enjoy seeing a gradual, natural rounding of the buttocks, smoothing of hip dips, and improved skin firmness developing over 3 to 6 months. The dermal remodeling and synthesis of new structural proteins continue progressively over the course of 3 to 6 months post-treatment, showing continuous skin lifting and smoothing. To protect your investment and maintain a youthful, glowing complexion, we recommend a single maintenance touch-up session every 6 to 12 months.

This treatment can be paired with body-firming RF treatments to maximize skin tightening and contouring on the buttocks and thighs. Combining treatments allows us to target multiple layers of aging (volume loss, dynamic wrinkles, and skin texture) simultaneously, giving you a comprehensive, refreshed, and beautifully natural outcome.
