A non-surgical BBL at Liu Plastic Surgery Sacramento uses carefully placed injections to refine buttock shape, improve skin quality, and add subtle lift, with no incisions, no general anesthesia, and little to no downtime.
Buttock Enhancement Guided by Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons
At SVIA® Sacramento, every non-surgical BBL is planned by board-certified plastic surgeons who also perform surgical buttock procedures. Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu are fellowship-trained in aesthetic plastic surgery, so they understand gluteal anatomy in depth. That surgical perspective helps patients choose between a non-surgical BBL in Sacramento and other contouring options with clear, honest expectations.
What Is a Non-Surgical BBL?
A non-surgical BBL is an in-office injectable treatment that improves the shape, contour, and skin quality of the buttocks without surgery. At our Sacramento practice, the treatment uses Radiesse®, a filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a smooth gel.
Radiesse works in two ways. The gel provides immediate support where it is placed, while the microspheres stimulate the body to produce its own collagen over the following months. According to global consensus guidelines published in Dermatologic Surgery, diluted calcium hydroxylapatite stimulates new collagen to improve laxity and skin quality in areas that include the buttocks.
Are You a Candidate for a Non-Surgical BBL?
The best candidates for a non-surgical BBL in Sacramento want modest refinement rather than a significant change in size. You may be a good fit if you:
- Want to improve buttock shape, firmness, or skin texture
- Have mild skin laxity or contour irregularities
- Prefer to avoid surgery, anesthesia, and extended recovery
- Are in good overall health and are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have no active skin infection in the treatment area
- Understand that results develop gradually and require maintenance
Patients who want substantial added volume are usually better candidates for surgical fat transfer. Dr. Liu will tell you honestly which approach can realistically reach your goals.
Why Choose Liu Plastic Surgery Sacramento for a Non-Surgical BBL?
Injectable body treatments are only as safe as the person planning them. At Liu Plastic Surgery Sacramento, your treatment is guided by surgeons with formal training in aesthetic plastic surgery, not a provider who performs injectables alone. Dr. Jerome Liu completed his aesthetic fellowship at UT Southwestern and the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, where he trained in advanced body contouring.
Dr. Tom Liu trained in aesthetic surgery at the Plastic Surgery Institute of San Francisco and serves on the patient safety committee of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). Both are members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Our practice was founded on honesty and integrity. That means you will always hear our genuine opinion, even when it is that a treatment is not in your best interest.
What to Expect From Your Non-Surgical BBL
The non-surgical BBL process at our Sacramento office includes a consultation, one or more treatment sessions, and a gradual results timeline.
Non-Surgical BBL Consultation and Cost
Your consultation includes an evaluation of your buttock shape, skin quality, and goals, along with a discussion of the treatment's off-label status and risks. Pricing for a non-surgical BBL depends on the number of syringes required, the number of sessions, and whether it is combined with other treatments. You will receive a personalized quote, and our team can explain available financing options.
The Non-Surgical BBL Treatment Session
On treatment day, the area is cleansed and numbed. The filler is then placed through a fine cannula or needle in a pattern designed to support shape and stimulate collagen across the treatment area. A gentle massage helps distribute the product evenly. Most sessions take about 45 to 60 minutes.
Non-Surgical BBL Results Timeline
Some improvement in contour may be visible right away. Collagen-related changes build gradually over the next two to three months, so many patients see their best results around that point. Depending on your goals, Dr. Liu may recommend a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. Results vary by patient, and maintenance treatments help sustain them over time.

When can I sit and exercise after a non-surgical BBL?
How long does a non-surgical BBL last?
Results vary based on your anatomy, the product used, and the number of sessions. Because the treatment stimulates your own collagen, improvement can be long-lasting, and periodic maintenance sessions help preserve it.
Does a non-surgical BBL hurt?
Most patients describe mild pressure or soreness. The treatment area is numbed beforehand, and some fillers also contain a local anesthetic for added comfort.
How much volume can a non-surgical BBL add?
A non-surgical BBL is designed for subtle shaping and skin improvement, not large increases in size. For significant volume, Dr. Liu typically recommends surgical fat transfer or alloClae.
What are the risks of a non-surgical BBL?
Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, and firmness at injection sites. Less common risks include nodules, asymmetry, infection, and, rarely, injury to a blood vessel. Because this is an off-label use, Dr. Liu reviews every risk with you before treatment.
When can I sit and exercise after a non-surgical BBL?
Most patients sit normally right away. Strenuous exercise is usually paused for a short period, and Dr. Liu will give you specific aftercare instructions.
