Abstract
The increased demand for an improved appearance of the entire body skin is a patient’s constant desire for aesthetics in dermatologists’ and plastic surgeons’ clinics. Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA), known as Sculptra®, is a biocompatible, immunologically inert, and completely absorbable product that increases dermal tissue content by stimulating collagen production. It could be a good alternative for gluteal area, as well.
