There’s never been a better time for dermal fillers to trend than right now, and it’s not for the same old reason, which is for pouty lips, or duck lips if you may. Currently, non-surgical butt lift with fillers seems to be the in thing, with its popularity growing by the day, and no chance of it ever slowing down in this near future.
To get to the bottom of this trend, which seems to be spreading faster in Hollywood than anywhere else (when they’re not using butt implants), I caught up with Dr. Dragana Spica, a leading Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgeon in Dubai.

According to Dr. Dragana, dermal fillers do have the right to trend as they seem to be conquering a new anatomical territory on a regular basis. “Traditionally, fillers are commonly used to fill up the depleted facial volume or plumping up a pout, but their use is growing and so are the number of places that individuals are requesting them for.”
In addition to augmenting the lips, fillers can now be used for the hands, ear lobes, and under eyes among other areas. “So, it was just a matter of time before they could be used to enhance the derriere,” she says with a wink.
What is Non-surgical Butt Lift with Fillers?
Non-surgical butt lift with fillers is a minimally invasive procedure that uses special hyaluronic-based dermal fillers to enhance the size and shape of your backside and accentuate your curves to your desired look without the use of anesthesia or incisions. “This means there’s no scarring left behind, and the patient doesn’t even set foot in a hospital or stay overnight,” explains Dr. Dragana adding that it’s a walk-in walk-out procedure.

What Type of Fillers Are Used in a Non-surgical Butt Lift?
The request for gluteal augmentation (which is a fancy name for butt lift) has been on the rise especially with the use of hyaluronic acid-based fillers. “For the non-surgical butt lift with fillers procedures at my clinic in Dubai, I use HYAcorp body fillers, which are made from non-animal cross-linked hyaluronic acid, made to restore volume and contour the body. These fillers provide the patient with a better alternative to surgical butt augmentation or lift.”
When this filler is injected into the body, it replenishes the lost hyaluronic acid, which tends to lessen as we age.
What Are The Major Butt Lift Options?
- The Brazilian butt lift: This is the classical butt lift, and it entails fat grafting whereby fat is harvested from other areas of your body such as the abdomen via liposuction and it is injected in the buttocks for a plumper posterior. The results are permanent, but the volume reduces by up to 50% over time.
- Butt implants: This technique involves silicone implants that are placed inside the buttocks tissues to add volume.
- Nonsurgical butt lift with fillers: With this non-invasive technique, as explained above, the plastic surgeon uses filler – mostly HYAcorp – to add volume and contour the butt and replenish lost hyaluronic acid to rejuvenate the skin on the buttocks.

How is a Non-surgical Butt Lift Done?
Once your plastic surgeon who should be an expert in body contouring procedures gets a thorough understanding of your desired results, he/she will mark the treatment area. To ensure that the process is comfortable for you, lidocaine is added to the formulation to act as a numbing agent.
The marked treatment area is strategically injected with the fillers which will produce a natural balanced result with smoother, shapelier contours of your buttocks. “The non-surgical butt lift with fillers takes a few minutes to complete, usually about 30 minutes,” explains Dr. Dragana.
What Should One Expect After a Non-surgical Butt Lift?
After the procedure, there is zero downtime involved with the non-surgical butt lift and you are free to resume your daily activities immediately. Your derriere may feel sore due to the injections but this fades within a few days. The results are visible immediately.
“In addition to more fullness of your behind, you might also notice a reduction in the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite. This is because of the replenished hyaluronic acid which makes the skin more youthful and smoother.
If you ever develop the courage to have the non-surgical butt lift with fillers, then expect the results to last for up to 2+ years. After that, you may need a retouch here and there for maintenance.
