Non-surgical gluteal and hip contouring using diluted Radiesse. Performed personally by Dr. Amir Mortazavi, MD.
Radiesse is calcium hydroxylapatite in a gel carrier. Diluted and placed subcutaneously across the buttocks or lateral hip, it does two things: the carrier provides immediate volume, and the CaHA microspheres stimulate your own collagen production over the following months as the carrier is absorbed.
The result builds in two stages — some lift visible from the first session, then continued improvement as collagen develops.
Treats: flat or deflated gluteal contour · hip dips (lateral depressions between hip and thigh) · loss of volume after weight loss · asymmetry between sides · skin laxity and crepiness over the treated area
This is not a surgical BBL, and the distinction matters.
A surgical Brazilian butt lift transfers your own fat and produces substantially more volume. It also involves liposuction, anesthesia, weeks of recovery, and — in the case of fat transfer to the buttocks specifically — a risk profile that has drawn significant attention in the surgical literature.
Radiesse produces a more moderate change: improved shape, projection, and smoothness rather than a dramatic size increase. No surgery, no anesthesia, no downtime. Patients wanting a major volume change should see a plastic surgeon, and Dr. Mortazavi will say so rather than treating them toward a result this can't deliver.
Radiesse or Sculptra?
Radiesse gives some immediate volume and builds collagen behind it. Better if you want to see change from the first session.
Sculptra gives essentially no immediate volume — it works purely through gradual collagen stimulation over months. Better for the most natural progression and for patients who don't want a visible before-and-after moment.
Neither can be dissolved. Both are assessed at consultation based on your anatomy and how you want the result to develop. See Sculptra butt lift for the alternative.
Syringe count is determined at consultation, not in the cart. The options here reflect typical treatment ranges. How many you actually need depends on your baseline volume, the area being treated, and your goal — and buying more than indicated doesn't produce a better result.
What to expect: treatment takes 45 to 60 minutes with numbing. Swelling and tenderness for several days is normal; bruising is common. Avoid sitting for prolonged periods and skip intense lower-body training for about a week. Full collagen-driven results develop over three to six months. Duration is typically 12 to 18 months or longer.
Important: Radiesse is radiopaque and can appear on imaging of the pelvis or hips. Tell your radiologist about any filler treatment before imaging so it isn't misread.
Consultation required before treatment. Body contouring at this scale isn't appropriate to purchase without assessment.
