Are There Permanent Fillers in Development That Works Like Sculptra?

Are there any permanent volume injectable fillers on the horizon? I use Sculptra and love it but wish it was permanent.

I am hoping a Sculptra like product that is permanent is in the works somewhere down the road.

I had a Fat transfer but not all the fat survived after 6 months so it was disappointing. I still needed Sculptra (successfully used under the eyes and cheeks).

Sculptra has taken the high ground... more
