I have had sculptra injections but I'm not happy with how my cheeks look. I only wanted to improve my under eye hollows but the sculptra has made my cheeks really fat. I had the injection done recently. If I massage upwards will this move the filler away from my cheeks and towards the under eye area? Also, will losing weight help my cheeks to look less full?
Answer: Sculptra massage Sculptra massage is important for even distribution of the microparticles in the injected areas as a means to minimize the risk of micronodules. You can't really massage it with the intent to move the particles. Sculptra is not my go to product for use around the eyes as the risk of palpable and visible lumps increases in such soft thin skin. Products better suited for periorbital skin are Restylane for deep placement and Belotero for superficial placement. Often a combination of both in deep and superficial layers give optimal results for tear troughs and eye hollows.

Answer: Massage not going to help Massage isn't going to "move" the Sculptra. I would suggest that you see your surgeon about what could be done to get your desired outcome in the cheek area. Although I will remind you that full cheeks are a sign of a youthful face. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Sculptra redistribution Sculptra is a unique filler in that its effects are primarily achieved via stimulation of collagen synthesis. It is injected as particles suspended in solution which distribute finely throughout an area of injection. Therefore, it cannot be repositioned by massage. The advice to apply massage with Sculptra was developed in the early days of Sculptra use to reduce the possibility of nodule formation.

Answer: Sculptra And Facial Contouring where sculptra is injected is where it works best. Massaging only prevents clumping. If you want more under the eye or upper cheek then have more injected in that area. But do it conservatively there. Best, Dr. Emer.
