Sculptra - How Much Pain After Anesthesia Wears Off?

A: Post Injection Pain With Sculptra

I do have not seen significant pain in my patients with Sculptra injections after the local anesthetic has worn off.  Pain is, however as mentioned by others with this question, a very subjective thing and is very difficult to quantify.  If you feel that you would benefit from Sculptra injections, you should not allow this fear of pain to intimidate you.

A: Fat May be Better Choice than Sculptra in Hands

From your description, I think injection of autologous fat into your hands would probably be better than using Sculptra.  If you live in NY, Dr. Sid Coleman in Lower Manhattan has the most experience with these injections.

Should Patients Be Informed if a Doctor is Inexperienced in a Certain Procedure?

For example - If you injected Sculptra for the first time into a patient's face, would you inform them they were the very first, in writing?

A: Experience with Sculptra

Unless they have changed their protocol, Sculptra will not sell their product to anyone who has not undergone hands-on training with another practioner who is experienced. With other injectibles , such as Restylane, Perlane, etc.), techniques are similar enough that if a surgeon is comfortable with one, there should be no problem with the first experience with another product.
