Are the results of the sculptra liquid facelift comparable to plastic surgery facelifts? How so?
Anyone who is marketing Sculptra as a "Sculptra Facelift" is using inaccurate terminology and is misinforming you. Sculptra is a volumizing agent, made from L-polylactic acid; it is a wonderful adjunct to a Facelift, but definitely not a replacement. Although its results are very nice (assuming correct technique is used), it will not address the neck, jowls, or sagging jawline. Additionally, Sculptra will last for a duration of two years, while a Facelift should last at least 10.
Has Sculptra been evaluated for safe and effective use in the temple area?
I am quite impressed with the results provided by Sculptra in the temples; I have not encountered any problems with its use. Replacement of lost volume occurs gradually and lasts for about 2 years.
3 yrs ago I had 2 vials, my volume improved a bit, but I couldn't tell if it was from Sculptura... at that time I was doing a LOT of things to revive my weight & my skin. (I got a small imperceptible lump in my cheek from it tho) 4 wks ago I got 1 vial in my cheeks, temples, and along my jawline (to make my mini-jowls less noticeable). I know it takes "6 weeks", but shouldn't I see something by now? My temples look like skin on bone. Should I even bother with a 2nd vial, or am I immune?
Sculptra can produce some very nice results. Since the main concerns are under filling and overfilling, the treatment process is performed gradually in order to achieve adequate volume and avoid overdoing it. For most patients with appropriate indications, this takes 4-6 vials.
