Sculptra is FDA approved for treatment of lipo-dystrophy of the face (facial fat wasting) due to HIV disease. It can be used off-label for those wanting to add fullness to their face, even if they don't have HIV, but is better suited for deeper areas such as the cheeks.

It is not suggested for the lips. Better options for injectable filler for the lips (lip augmentation) would be Perlane or Juvederm Ultra Plus. If you just want the border of the lips (lip line) more defined, then Restylane or Juvederm are good options.
