What Is This Treatment?

Contour & Volume, Precisely Delivered

Non-surgical gluteal augmentation is a minimally invasive body contouring treatment designed to enhance the shape, volume, and lift of the buttocks - without the risks, recovery time, or surgical intervention associated with traditional implants or fat transfer procedures.

Using a proprietary injectable filler that combines polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres with hyaluronic acid (HA), our physicians sculpt natural-looking projection and definition in a single in-office session. The result is an immediately visible improvement in shape that continues to refine over the following weeks as your body's own collagen integrates with the PMMA matrix.

The Science

A Proprietary Formula Built for Longevity

Our filler is not a standard off-the-shelf product. It is a meticulously engineered dual-action complex that combines two synergistic technologies - each playing a distinct and critical role in achieving beautiful, long-lasting results.

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Microspheres

PMMA is a biocompatible, non-biodegradable synthetic polymer that has been used in medicine for decades. In this formulation, ultra-smooth PMMA microspheres serve as a permanent scaffolding matrix. Once injected, they are gradually encapsulated by your body's own collagen, creating structural volume that does not dissolve or migrate. The result is durable lift and projection that improves over time as neocollagenesis - the natural production of new collagen - progresses around the microsphere framework.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Carrier Gel

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule found throughout connective tissue and skin. In our formulation, cross-linked HA acts as the carrier medium for the PMMA microspheres, providing immediate soft-tissue volumization upon injection. HA offers smooth, even distribution throughout the treatment zone, reduces injection trauma, and provides instant visible results while the body's longer-term collagen response to the PMMA develops. The HA component gradually metabolizes, leaving behind the fully integrated PMMA collagen scaffold.

Dual-Phase Volumization

The two-phase action of this filler is what distinguishes it from purely temporary HA fillers or older single-component PMMA products. Phase one — immediate: the HA component delivers instant soft-tissue volume and a smooth contour from the first session. Phase two - progressive: as the HA gradually absorbs, the PMMA microspheres trigger sustained collagen synthesis that replaces and ultimately exceeds the initial HA volume with structural, natural-feeling tissue. Most patients notice peak results between 8 and 16 weeks post-treatment.

Safety Profile & Tolerability

Both PMMA and hyaluronic acid carry well-established safety profiles in aesthetic medicine. The microspheres in this formulation are sized to minimize risks associated with smaller PMMA particles and are suspended at a clinically validated concentration. HA is fully reversible with hyaluronidase if needed during the early treatment period. The formulation is free of animal-derived components and undergoes rigorous sterility testing. All injections are performed by board-certified physicians trained specifically in deep-plane gluteal injection technique.

The Experience

What to Expect, Step by Step

Every treatment begins with a thorough consultation and ends with a detailed aftercare plan. Here is how your journey unfolds.

01

Comprehensive Consultation Assessment

Your physician conducts an in-depth review of your anatomy, aesthetic goals, medical history, and BMI. We then map the precise areas requiring volume, projection, or contour correction. Together, we can create agree on a personalized treatment plan including injection volume, placement zones, and number of recommended sessions.

~45 Minutes

02

Preparation & Comfort Protocol

On treatment day, the gluteal area is cleansed and marked with precision injection points. A topical anesthetic cream is applied and left for 20 - 30 minutes; a local anesthetic may also be administered via fine needle to ensure your complete comfort throughout the procedure. The filler is prepared at controlled room temperature for optimal viscosity.

~30 Minutes

03

Filler Injection

Using a blunt-tipped cannula, injections of the PMMA-HA complex are deposited at the precise subdermal plane above the gluteal muscle - a critical safety zone that avoids the rich vascular network deeper in the tissue. Injections are administered in carefully mapped boluses and fanned deposits to create uniform volumization and natural contour. The procedure is performed bilaterally to ensure symmetry.

~30–45 Minutes

04

Shaping & Symmetry Review

Immediately following injection, we perform a hands-on contouring assessment, gently molding the filler to finalize shape symmetry. You will be able to view initial results before leaving the clinic. Any minor asymmetries can be corrected with micro-adjustments during this stage.

~15 Minutes

05

Recovery, Aftercare & Follow-Up

Most patients return to normal daily activities within 24 - 48 hours. You will receive detailed written aftercare instructions covering activity restrictions (avoiding prolonged direct pressure on the treated area for 72 hours), skincare, and follow-up scheduling. A complimentary 4-week check-in appointment is included to assess collagen integration and determine whether a second session is indicated.

Follow-Up Included

Why This Treatment

The Advantages of Going Non-Surgical

  • No General Anesthesia: Avoid the systemic risks associated with general anesthesia - the treatment is performed under local anesthetic only.
  • No Incisions or Scarring: All augmentation is achieved through tiny cannula entry points no cutting, no visible scarring, no sutures required.
  • Minimal Downtime: Unlike the weeks of restricted mobility required after implants or fat transfer, most patients resume light daily activity within 24- 48 hours.
  • Immediate & Progressive Results: The HA component provides instant visible enhancement, while PMMA-driven collagen production continues to improve results over 2 - 4 months.
  • Long-Lasting Structural Volume: The PMMA scaffold integrates permanently with surrounding collagen, offering durability far exceeding standard HA-only fillers.

"For patients who want meaningful shape enhancement without surgery, this dual-component technology represents a genuine advancement offering both the immediacy of hyaluronic acid and the longevity of a permanent biostimulator in a single, elegantly delivered treatment."

- Dr. David Dellinger

Ideal Candidates

This treatment is well-suited to a wide range of patients, though individual suitability must always be confirmed during an in-person consultation with one of our physicians.

Adults seeking increased fullness, projection, or upward lift of the buttocks without undergoing surgery.

Patients with volume loss due to aging, significant weight loss, or naturally flat gluteal contour.

Individuals who lack sufficient donor fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift or who wish to avoid liposuction.

Those who have had prior BBL or implant procedures and wish to refine or supplement results non-surgically.

Patients in good general health with realistic expectations about enhancement rather than dramatic surgical transformation.

Individuals who value minimal downtime and wish to undergo treatment without disruption to professional or social commitments.

Who is not a candidate: This treatment is not appropriate for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin infections or inflammatory conditions in the treatment area, have a history of severe allergic reactions to filler components, are immunocompromised, or have unrealistic expectations regarding the degree of augmentation achievable without surgery. A full contraindication review is conducted at consultation.

Safety & Standards

Our Commitment to Your Safety

Non-surgical gluteal augmentation carries a favorable safety profile when performed by appropriately trained physicians using validated products and anatomically sound technique. We hold ourselves to the highest standards at every step.

Physician-Only Injections

All gluteal filler injections at our clinic are performed exclusively by board-certified physicians with specialized training in deep-plane body contouring injection technique — never delegated to nurses or non-physician practitioners.

Validated Injection Plane

Product is deposited in the suprafascial plane above the gluteal muscle to avoid the gluteal vasculature. This anatomical placement protocol is a critical safety measure that significantly reduces the risk of intravascular injection.

Blunt Cannula Technique

We use flexible, blunt-tipped cannulas rather than sharp needles for the primary delivery of filler. This approach reduces tissue trauma, bruising, and the risk of inadvertent vascular penetration compared to needle-based methods.

Emergency Protocols On-Site

Our treatment rooms are equipped with full emergency response kits including hyaluronidase for rapid HA dissolution if needed, along with other standard emergency medications and equipment. All treating physicians are trained in vascular complication management.

Sterile, Regulated Products

Our proprietary filler undergoes rigorous quality control including sterility verification, particle-size validation, and biocompatibility testing. Products are stored and handled according to strict cold-chain protocols and used within validated shelf life.

Transparent Informed Consent

We provide complete, jargon-free informed consent documentation covering all known risks, benefits, alternatives, and realistic outcomes. We believe you should fully understand what is being injected, where, and why — before anything proceeds.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the results last?

Because the PMMA microspheres are non-biodegradable, the structural scaffold they create is considered permanent. However, the visible result is also influenced by natural aging, weight fluctuations, and skin elasticity over time. Most patients enjoy their initial results for many years. Occasional touch-up sessions may be desired to maintain or refine shape as the body naturally changes with age.

Will the results look and feel natural?

Yes - when performed by a skilled injector using appropriate volumes, the results are designed to enhance natural contour rather than create an artificial appearance. Because the filler is integrated within the suprafascial tissue and surrounded by newly generated collagen, the treated area feels soft and natural to the touch. Overfilling or incorrect placement, which we take great care to avoid, is the primary cause of unnatural appearance in any injectable procedure.

Is the PMMA component reversible?

The HA carrier component is reversible with hyaluronidase enzyme in the early period post-injection. However, the PMMA microsphere component is permanent and cannot be dissolved enzymatically. This is why thorough consultation, conservative initial volumes, and staged treatment sessions are strongly recommended - allowing you to assess your results and build incrementally rather than committing to maximum volume in one session.

More Questions

How many sessions will I need?

The majority of patients achieve satisfying results in one to two sessions. For patients seeking more significant augmentation or those with pronounced volume asymmetries, up to three sessions - spaced 8 to 12 weeks apart - may be recommended. A staged approach is intentional: it allows the PMMA-driven collagen response to develop fully between sessions, so your physician can accurately assess how much additional volume, if any, is needed.

What are the possible side effects?

Common and expected side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, and mild tenderness at the injection site, which typically resolve within 5-10 days. Less common effects include prolonged firmness, nodule formation, or uneven texture as collagen matures - most of which resolve spontaneously. Rare but serious risks include infection, inflammatory granuloma formation (a known risk with PMMA-based products), and vascular complications. A complete discussion of risks is conducted at every consultation, and our clinical protocols are designed to minimize each of these.

Is there anything I should avoid before or after treatment?

Before treatment, we ask patients to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E for 7-10 days to reduce bruising risk, unless medically prescribed. Alcohol should be avoided 24 hours prior. After treatment, avoid prolonged direct pressure on the treated area (sitting with full body weight) for 72 hours, intense physical activity for 5-7 days, saunas and hot tubs for one week, and massage or deep tissue manipulation of the area for two weeks. Detailed written aftercare instructions are provided at every appointment.
