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.

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.
