Is Sculptra Likely to Cause Lumps if Injected in the Temples? A PS suggested this could be done to create volume in this area. But Im very thin there. Its just like under my eyes and is skin on bone. I find it hard to believe it wouldnt end up visibly lumpy. Then I watched the Sculptra dvd and it shows before and after pics featuring only the area around the mouth. The dvd even states Sculptra has only been evaluated for nasolabial wrinkles and folds. Is Sculptra effective at creating natural looking volume in the temples?

A: Sculptra to Improve Temple Hollowness

Sculptra is a great way to improve the temple region to look natural appearing. The sculptra would be injected deep under the muscle. There are ways to avoid getting a lumpy result, mainly with careful preparation, injection technique, and post-procedure massaging.

Sculptra: What Can I So to Speed Up Production of Collagen? 2 Vials in 6 Weeks and No Results Yet. Is it normal to have had 2 vails in 6 weeks and not notice much yet? Why am I slower to respond than others?

A: Sculptra

Everyone responds differently and typically it takes 2-3 treatments to see results. However, this is something you should discuss with your surgeon.

Sculptra Pain Medication? I am considering 2 vials of Sculptra to my cheeks and jawline for my inital treatment. What is the best pain med. that could be taken to endure the procedure? Should I ask for a script or is over the counter Tylenol enough for the pain? Thx

A: Sculptra

For injectibles, either numbing ointment can be applied immediately beforehand or you could ask for a dental block if you are concerned about pain.

	“Another Case of Little-to-no Results...” I didn't have any awful side effects like nodules, and I hardly bruised at all from the 3 times I had the procedure. I visited the top facial plastic surgeon in a major city. While I will say I noticed an extremely mild fill in my cheeks, I still looked exactly the same. I looked gorgeous for three days after the treatment, and then three weeks later almost exactly the same. I echo... more
	“Sculptra Didn't Work for Me. Perhaps...” I've had 3 sculptra treatments at $1000 each. I am about 8 weeks post my last treatment and I have seen no results whatsoever. I don't mind when I buy a $50 night cream and don't see any results. But $3000 and the pain, bruising and now a small lump at the corner of my eye? For this I paid $3000? I don't know why it seems to work for some people and not others. I don't think it was my doctor's... more
	“Definitely Worth It (For HIV Related...” I had four treatments to counteract the effects of HIV fat loss in my cheeks. It looks fantastic and did so much for me psychologically. It's not cheap, but they have program where you can receive a pretty good discount on the product if you're income is less than $80K annually.
