Patient Information Sheet: Buttock Augmentation with Radiesse®
Buttock augmentation with Radiesse® is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure designed to enhance shape, volume, and contour of the buttocks. Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. When injected into targeted areas, it provides immediate volume and stimulates natural collagen production over time, resulting in firmer, smoother, and lifted buttocks.
This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking a moderate lift and improved contour without the downtime or invasiveness of surgery. It is commonly performed in a clinical setting with topical or local anesthesia, and results can last up to 18–24 months depending on individual metabolism and lifestyle.
Benefits include:
- Natural-looking volume and shape
- Minimal downtime and non-invasive
- Collagen-stimulating effects for long-term improvement
Common side effects: Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, or firmness at the injection sites.
