Sculptra: Q&A

Should I Continue with Sculptra or Another Procedure for Marionette Lines and Jowls?
I had a sculptra treatment six weeks ago and now find that my cheeks are filling in they are large and drooping even more than before, It makes my marionette lines and jowls more pronounced. Should I go for a second session of Sculptra or would it be safer to have another procedure done. My biggest problem are the marionette lines and jowls. Would a mini lift be better?

Sculptra vs. facelift
Sculptra is an excellent product for generalized volume restoration. The use of it should be tailored to individual needs however.

Continue Use of Sculptra

Sculptra is most effective when used as a volumizer for the cheeks, temples, brow etc. but not to fill depressions. The use of sculptra in the marionette region can result in the formation of small nodules...
