What is best for deep lines in the face? I am thinking Sculptra, but are fat injections better?

Sculptra is a volumizing filler but it also stimulates collagen which can thicken the skin and lessen the appearance of wrinkles.  Fat does not have any stimulatory effects but it can fill deep wrinkles.  So the answer to question lies in which wrinkles you want to fill and where.
