The experienced providers at Old Town Med Spa, overseen by board-certified aesthetic medicine doctors Nael and Shazel Gharbi, offer this treatment to patients seeking a new profile without invasive procedures and long recovery times. Here’s what you can realistically expect from the process and results.
What Is a Non-Surgical BBL?
Unlike a traditional BBL, which involves fat transfer surgery, the non-surgical version uses dermal fillers such as Sculptra® or RADIESSE® to enhance the buttocks. These fillers stimulate collagen production to gradually improve volume and contour with minimal downtime.
The treatment typically involves a series of 2-4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
What to Expect From Results
As the filler takes effect, your body builds new collagen, resulting in fuller, lifted contours over time. Most non-surgical BBL patients see results that can last up to two years, especially with maintenance treatments. After your session, you will experience:
- Subtle enhancement: You can expect a modest, natural lift — not dramatic changes.
- Gradual progress: Results develop over weeks as collagen builds.
- Minimal downtime: Most patients go back to daily activities immediately, with only minor bruising or swelling.
- Limited volume: If you’re looking for a dramatic increase in size, surgical options may be more appropriate.
- Temporary results: Effects usually last 18 to 24 months with periodic touch-ups.
Are You a Good Candidate?
Ideal non-surgical BBL candidates are in good health, at a stable weight, and are seeking contouring rather than significant volume. This treatment is especially appealing to those who want to avoid the recovery and risks associated with surgery.
How to Maximize Your Results
To get the most out of your non-surgical BBL:
- Avoid pressure on the treated area for a few days.
- Use cushions or pillows when sitting.
- Sleep on your stomach or side when possible.
- Maintain a stable weight and an active lifestyle.
