The pursuit of a harmonious body profile increasingly involves the care and definition of the backside. Having toned, lifted, and well-projected buttocks is a common desire, but physical activity or genetics don't always guarantee the desired results. In this scenario, aesthetic medicine offers advanced solutions that allow reshaping without resorting to permanent implants.
At IMAGE REGENERATIVE we have perfected specific protocols that prioritize patient safety and natural results, offering buttock reshaping treatments performed to the highest medical standards.
The use of hyaluronic acid-based fillers for the body represents one of the most versatile options for those wishing to improve buttock volume and projection with a less invasive approach than traditional surgery, but which still requires great competence and an adequate clinical environment.

Buttock reshaping treatment with hyaluronic acid is based on the use of a macromolecular gel, specifically formulated for the body. Unlike fillers used for the face, this product has much higher density and viscosity. These physico-chemical characteristics are fundamental to guarantee two crucial aspects: the ability to lift heavy tissues such as those in the gluteal region and resistance to the mechanical stress to which this body part is constantly subjected when we sit or walk.
The procedure involves injecting the filler into deep subcutaneous tissue or above the gluteal muscle, allowing to sculpt the shape, fill lateral depressions (often called hip dips) and provide greater posterior projection.
At IMAGE REGENERATIVE, this treatment is distinctly different from standard outpatient practices. We perform body hyaluronic acid infiltrations exclusively in the operating room.
This operational choice is dictated by the desire to guarantee maximum sterility, drastically reducing the risk of infections, and to offer the patient maximum comfort. The protected environment of the operating room allows the physician to work with extreme precision and permits, if necessary, light sedation to make the experience completely painless.
Using the right types of hyaluronic acid is another pillar of our approach. Not all fillers are the same: to obtain an effect that is visibly pleasant but indistinguishable to the touch, it is necessary to select high-end products, certified for body use, that integrate perfectly with the patient's tissues without creating irregularities or granulomas.
When evaluating a volumizing aesthetic treatment, it is useful to understand the application differences between different body areas. Hyaluronic acid is a biocompatible and resorbable substance, characteristics that make it extremely safe. However, treatment dynamics change radically if we are treating a large area like the buttocks or a delicate and circumscribed area like the cheekbones.
The main strength of hyaluronic acid for buttocks lies in the immediacy of the result. The patient can observe the change in volume and shape immediately after the session. Moreover, being a substance that our body produces naturally, the risk of adverse reactions or rejection is minimal. Another significant advantage is reversibility: being a resorbable filler, the result is not permanent, allowing the patient to decide over time whether to maintain the effect with touch-up sessions or return to the original condition. This psychological aspect is very reassuring for those who fear the definitive changes of prosthetic surgery.
Furthermore, the treatment allows correcting specific asymmetries and skin depressions with millimetric precision that implants can hardly match. The skin in the treated area also benefits from the intrinsic moisturizing effect of hyaluronic acid, often appearing more taut and compact.
It is necessary to also analyze the limitations. The first concerns duration: the body metabolizes hyaluronic acid over time. To maintain the volume obtained on the buttocks, periodic touch-ups are necessary, usually every 12-18 months, depending on individual metabolism. This involves a recurring financial commitment.
Another aspect to consider is the quantity of product needed. While a few vials may be enough to define the cheekbones to obtain a noticeable aesthetic impact, the buttocks require much larger volumes (often dozens of vials or 10ml syringes) to obtain a visible size increase. This proportionally affects the cost of the session. Finally, although rare, there is a risk of product dislocation if not injected at the correct depth or if post-treatment indications are not followed, which is why the physician's expertise and execution in the operating room become indispensable safety requirements.
Determining a single price for buttock filler without a specialist consultation is complex, since the variables at play are multiple and all contribute to the quality and safety of the final result. The quote never concerns just the "product," but the entire medical service and the structure that supports it.
The first determining factor is the quantity of material needed. Each patient has a different starting anatomy and different objectives. Those who simply wish to fill a lateral depression will need much less product compared to those who aspire to significant profile projection or a size increase. Since body hyaluronic acid has a high cost at source, the number of syringes used is the item that most affects the final price.
The second factor is product quality. There are several body filler brands on the market. At IMAGE REGENERATIVE we exclusively select world-leading brands that guarantee maximum purity, cohesiveness, and long-term durability. Choosing premium products ensures a more natural result and reduces the risk of long-term complications, but involves a higher raw material cost compared to products of dubious origin or low quality.
A third fundamental element is the clinical environment and professionalism. Performing the treatment in a sterile operating room, with the presence of an anesthesiologist for sedation (if requested) and qualified nursing staff, has higher management costs compared to an injection done in a simple outpatient clinic. However, this setting is what guarantees the patient maximum safety, hygiene, and comfort, transforming a potentially uncomfortable procedure into a serene experience.
Finally, physician experience plays a key role. The injection technique for buttocks requires deep knowledge of anatomy to avoid important blood vessels and nerves. Entrusting specialists like those on Prof. Carlo Tremolada's team means investing in safety and the certainty of a proportionate and harmonious aesthetic result.
To offer a clear and transparent overview, we have structured a table that illustrates how costs vary based on aesthetic objectives. It is important to remember that these figures are indicative and may vary following personalized medical evaluation.
Treatment Objective | Indicative Product Quantity | Notes |
Hip Dips Correction | 20 - 40 ml (total) | Ideal for filling lateral depressions and rounding the hips. |
Toning and Light Projection | 40 - 60 ml (total) | For those seeking a "push-up" effect without excessive volume increase. |
Significant Volume Increase | 80 - 120+ ml (total) | For an evident change in silhouette and size. |
Touch-up/Maintenance | Variable | Usually required after 12-18 months to maintain the result. |

It should be emphasized that in high-level clinics, the cost always includes the pre-operative visit, use of the operating room, post-treatment follow-ups, and ongoing medical assistance. Being wary of excessively low prices is necessary: they often hide the use of uncertified products or execution in unsuitable environments.
Choosing to reshape your buttocks with hyaluronic acid is a decision that offers immediate gratification, but must be made with awareness. The primary advice is to focus on proportion rather than exaggeration. An excessively large buttock on a slender physical structure can appear unnatural and weigh down the figure. Our specialists always work to respect body harmony, recommending the correct quantities to enhance the silhouette without distorting it.
It is also essential to scrupulously follow post-treatment instructions. Avoiding sitting directly on injected areas for a few days, not exposing the area to excessive heat sources (saunas, Turkish baths), and abstaining from intense physical activity for the period indicated by the physician are necessary precautions to allow the filler to stabilize correctly in the tissues.
Finally, for those seeking an even more lasting and biological result, it is possible to evaluate alternative or complementary options during the consultation. At IMAGE REGENERATIVE, we are pioneers in regenerative medicine techniques. For patients who have fatty deposits in other body areas, the Lipofilling technique (or autologous fat grafting), possibly enhanced by Lipogems® technology, represents an extraordinary solution. In this case, the advantage of liposuction in donor areas (abdomen, flanks) is combined with the volumetric increase of the buttocks with one's own tissue, guaranteeing a stable result over the years and improved skin quality thanks to the regenerative properties of adipose tissue.
Whether choosing the convenience of hyaluronic acid or the stability of lipofilling, the starting point remains a thorough specialist consultation to design the most suitable path for one's needs.
The cost of injections depends on the quantity of product needed to achieve the desired objective. For small corrections or lateral filling (hip dips), prices generally start from about 1,500€ - 2,000€. For more substantial volume increases requiring many vials, the cost can rise between 3,500€ and 6,000€ or more. A personalized quote after medical consultation is necessary.
"Buttock filler" is a generic term that usually refers to macromolecular hyaluronic acid. The average price for a complete reshaping treatment is usually between 2,500€ and 4,500€ in qualified medical facilities operating safely. The cost reflects the quality of filler used (which must be specific for the body) and the protected surgical environment in which it is performed.
The duration of hyaluronic acid in buttocks is longer than that of the face, thanks to the density of the product and the depth of implantation. Results are immediately visible and tend to last between 12 and 18 months. However, duration is subjective and depends on the patient's metabolism and lifestyle (for example, very intense sports activity can slightly accelerate resorption).
Yes, hyaluronic acid is very effective for increasing buttock volume. It allows projecting the profile, filling lateral voids, and giving a rounder and more lifted shape. It is the ideal option for those who desire volume increase without undergoing implant insertion surgery or don't have enough body fat to perform lipofilling.
Unlike the face where 1 ml (one vial) is used, for the body larger syringes are used, often 10 ml each. For a visible but natural result, an average of 100 ml to 200 ml of total product is used (therefore 10-20 body syringes). The exact quantity is defined by the physician based on the starting anatomy and the result to be achieved.
