Increase buttock volume;

30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the treatment.
Usually, 1 session, subject to prior assessment. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to prolong results or correct small asymmetries.
Results may be visible immediately after the procedure, although some initial swelling may occur. The final result should be assessed after the treated area has stabilised.
Results may last around 1 year, varying according to metabolism, lifestyle, physical activity, skin quality and the amount of product applied.
What is buttock filler with hyaluronic acid?
Buttock enhancement with hyaluronic acid is a less invasive alternative to buttock augmentation with the patient’s own fat or to gluteoplasty with implants.
It can be a safe and effective solution to improve buttock volume and contour, without surgery.
However, the duration of the results tends to be shorter when compared with other options, such as gluteoplasty, biostimulators like Lanluma X or EMSCULPT NEO.
How is buttock filler with hyaluronic acid performed?
Buttock filler with hyaluronic acid is performed by applying the product to previously defined areas, according to the person’s anatomy and goals.
Before the procedure, we assess the volume, contour, symmetry and skin quality of the buttocks. The amount of hyaluronic acid and the application points are defined individually, aiming for a harmonious and natural result.
Local anaesthesia is usually used for greater comfort during the treatment. After application, a local massage may be performed to help distribute the product evenly.
Expected Results
In buttock enhancement with hyaluronic acid, results are quite immediate. However, immediately after the application of hyaluronic acid, the buttocks may be slightly swollen. You should wait a few days for the swelling to subside and to be able to see the final result.
In general, you can expect:
- Immediate volume increase, visible right after the procedure.
- Improved buttock contour and shape, with a rounder and more projected appearance.
- A natural feel and visually discreet result, especially when compared with implants.
- Improved body harmony, with a smoother transition between the hips, buttocks and thighs.
- No scars, as this is a non-surgical procedure performed only with injections.
- Fast recovery, allowing you to return to your routine within a few days, especially when compared with surgery.
Recovery after buttock filler treatment
Recovery after buttock filler treatment with hyaluronic acid is relatively quick, especially when compared with surgical procedures such as gluteoplasty with implants or the patient’s own fat.
In the first 24 to 48 hours, there may be swelling, local discomfort or small bruises. At this stage, we recommend relative rest and avoiding direct pressure on the treated area.
After a few days, most people can resume light activities and their daily routine. Intense physical exercise should only be resumed according to the guidance of the professional responsible for the treatment.
Alternatives to buttock fillers with hyaluronic acid
According to Living Clinic’s clinical experience, EMSCULPT NEO, biostimulators such as Lanluma, or a combination of both, may be more effective, safe and long-lasting options to improve buttock volume, firmness and definition.
The best approach always depends on an individual assessment, the person’s goals, skin quality and the expected response to treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the human body, found mainly in the skin, joints and eyes. It is known for its ability to retain water, which contributes to skin hydration and helps maintain elasticity.
In aesthetics, hyaluronic acid is often used as a dermal filler to increase volume, improve contours and smooth wrinkles.
Buttock enhancement with hyaluronic acid is an increasingly popular option for those who wish to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks without the need for invasive surgery.
Is it safe? Are there any risks?
In general, hyaluronic acid filler treatment is a safe procedure. Hyaluronic acid is a safe and biocompatible substance, naturally present in the human body, with skin-filling and hydrating properties.
However, it is not risk-free. Although it is generally safe when performed by qualified professionals, as is the case with the doctors at Living Clinic, there are some potential complications that do not depend solely on this expertise and should therefore be considered:
- Pain, swelling and bruising
Common and temporary reactions at the injection sites. These usually disappear within a few days. - Infection
As with any procedure involving injections, there is a risk of local infection. - Allergic reactions
Rare, but possible. - Nodules or irregularities
The product may accumulate unevenly, forming small bumps or nodules under the skin.
What other alternatives are there to buttock fillers?
In addition to buttock fillers with hyaluronic acid, which is the procedure we least recommend, there are other ways to increase buttock volume in a safer and longer-lasting way, including EMSCULPT NEO, Lanluma X, a biostimulator that supports buttock filling, and gluteoplasty, a surgical procedure performed with implants, silicone prostheses or the patient’s own fat.
Schedule an Assessment Consultation and find out which procedure is most suitable for your particular case.
How long does the treatment last?
The duration of buttock filler treatment with hyaluronic acid varies from person to person and may depend on several factors, including individual metabolism, lifestyle, physical activity and skin quality.
On average, the results of buttock fillers with hyaluronic acid may last around 1 year. It is important to note that the effects are not permanent and will gradually fade over time. As the hyaluronic acid is gradually absorbed by the body, the buttocks may return to their original appearance.
Some patients may notice that the results remain visible for a longer period, while others may experience faster reabsorption. To maintain the results, we recommend maintenance sessions.
Will I need anaesthesia?
Normally, local anaesthesia is used in the buttock area to avoid any discomfort caused by the hyaluronic acid injections.
Does the procedure hurt?
No, as local anaesthesia will be used.
Will the appearance of the buttocks be even?
Generally, yes. After the product is applied, a local massage is performed to help distribute the hyaluronic acid evenly throughout the buttocks. However, there is always a risk, although uncommon, that the result may not be completely even, and one or more maintenance sessions may be required to correct small asymmetries.
Is hospitalisation required?
As this is a minimally invasive procedure, hospitalisation is not required. You will be able to return home immediately after the treatment.
