I had buccal fat removed 10 years ago. Within the last 3mos my face keeps losing an inordinate amount of vol. I got Radiesse a month ago, it helped a little. Considering more, but improvement seems to be wearing off. I'm considering getting Sculptra at the same time as Radiesse but... 1. if the fat in my cheeks keeps "burning" off, will Sculptra really help? Can I maintain results? and 2. can you get as much as you want and establish as much volume as you want or will this too "burn" off?
Typically if you are suddenly loosing volumn:in your face:
- You have been loosing weight
- You have increased your excercise level
- You have added a hormone such as thyroid
- You have changed a basic medication that you might have been taking
- You have developed an illness such as rheumatoid arthritis or sprue etc.
Sculptra is the best product to restore your volumn, but if something else is going on, you need diagnosis and treatment.

How Long Does Sculptra Take to Work?
Sculptra is a unique way to add volume to the facial contour, but it does require patience to see results. Initial treatment can result in some very slight improvement within six weeks. However, it is very important to plan on having at least 3 treatments, sometimes 4, each done four to six weeks apart. Several weeks after each treatment there will be further gradual enhancement. Maximum improvement is visible within 4 to 6 months, and will last up to two years. Many of my Sculptra patients elect to do a single booster treatment after the first year.
