Radiesse BBL

Butt Lift & Contouring in Shavano Park, TX

A Radiesse BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses Radiesse, a dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, to enhance the shape, volume, and contour of the buttocks. Unlike traditional BBLs, which involve fat transfer surgery, this method is minimally invasive and requires no downtime.

What Is a Radiesse BBL?

Radiesse is an FDA-approved injectable filler primarily used for facial wrinkles and volume loss. When used in the buttocks, it stimulates natural collagen production, leading to a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance. The procedure typically takes about an hour and involves minimal discomfort .

Benefits of a Radiesse BBL

  • Non-Surgical: No incisions, anesthesia, or lengthy recovery times.

  • Immediate Results: Noticeable enhancement immediately after treatment.

  • Collagen Stimulation: Promotes natural collagen production for long-term skin improvement.

  • Minimal Downtime: Most patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.

  • Long-Lasting Effects: Results can last up to 18–24 months, depending on individual factors.

  • Improved Skin Texture: Helps smooth dimpling, tighten loose skin, and improve overall texture.

Ideal Candidates

A Radiesse BBL is suitable for individuals who:

  • Desire a subtle enhancement rather than dramatic changes.

  • Lack sufficient fat for a traditional fat transfer BBL.

  • Prefer a minimally invasive procedure with little downtime.

  • Seek to smooth out cellulite dimples and tighten the skin.


It’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that while the procedure offers significant improvements, it may not achieve the same dramatic results as surgical options.
