Sculptra is a type of filler composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible and biodegradable substance. When carefully injected into the buttock and hip dips, it stimulates collagen production, providing a gradual and natural-looking increase in volume. Mr Hazim Sadideen also uses a specialist technique to divide superficial bands, which helps improve buttock cellulite.
Under the care of Mr Hazim Sadideen, treatment is planned around your anatomy and goals, with an emphasis on a subtle, natural build-up of volume.
The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment plan. It is an outpatient procedure. Mr Hazim Sadideen usually injects local anaesthetic and uses ice to help minimise discomfort and bruising. The Sculptra is then massaged for five minutes, and patients are shown how to do this themselves. For the next five days, Mr Sadideen recommends five-minute buttock massages five times a day, to prevent the formation of lumps and to allow for a natural spread and integration of the product.
Mr Hazim Sadideen prefers a gradual, natural-looking build-up. He usually begins with a low volume on each buttock, then repeats the procedure one to two months later, until the desired results are achieved. Results are not immediate but develop gradually over a few weeks, and up to months, as collagen production increases.

Patients choose Mr Sadideen for his:
Patients may experience swelling and bruising, which usually subsides within a week. It is advisable to avoid strenuous activities, especially buttock sweating, during the initial days post-treatment. Where prolonged periods of sitting down occur in the first few days, additional short massages may be required. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
Results can last up to two years, and additional top-up sessions may be recommended to maintain the desired results. Attending follow-up appointments with Mr Sadideen to monitor progress and address any concerns is important, alongside a healthy lifestyle and exercise to optimise the longevity of results.
While Sculptra is generally considered safe, common side effects may include swelling, bruising and tenderness at the injection site. Serious complications are rare but can include infection, nodule formation or, in rare instances, skin necrosis. Mr Sadideen will discuss potential risks and benefits during the consultation.
