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?
We love Sculptra here in my clinic because it does inspire the building of one's own collagen and it does have a lasting effect of many years (as opposed to most any other type of filler). Even patients suffering from fat atrophy due to medication causes such as HIV afflicted patients see lasting improvement. Plus, it is very well tolerated by people's tissues and we have yet to see any nodule formation or allergic reactions to this product. It is a wonderful choice to get some lasting facial volume.
The last round of injections was 10-11 weeks ago... Have I waited too long for a new injection to work with what I previously injected?
You are absolutely fine in that time period. I think the only mistake that can be made is by doing injections too close together so that you cannot appreciate the patient's response to the product. I usually space the injections 6 weeks apart, but patients frequently wait longer due to scheduling issues. You are on a good timetable.
