Frequently Asked Questions by Estrella Aesthetic & Surgical Arts
What is the average fat cell lifespan?
Fat cells are relatively long-lived compared to many other cells in the body. On average, fat cells can live for several years, with studies suggesting a lifespan of approximately 8 to 10 years.

How does the Sculptra Butt Lift differ from a traditional BBL?
A Sculptra Butt Lift is fundamentally different from a traditional Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) because it does not involve surgery or fat transfer.

Sculptra, on... [Read More]

Implants are designed to provide a fixed, significant enhancement, while Sculptra focuses on gradual collagen-based volume improvement and contour refinement. That said, for patients who desire a subtle to moderate enhancement with a softer, more natural look, Sculptra can be an... [Read More]
How quickly will I see results from my Sculptra Butt Lift injections?
Results from a Sculptra Butt Lift are not immediate.
