Can Sculptra and Radiesse (Or Restylane) Be Used Simultaneously in Cheeks?

I have performed many Cheek Augmentations with fillers (Radiesse, Perlane and Sculptra) as well as with Cheek Implants. Technically any of these fillers can be mixed if delivered in different tissue layers however, since Sculptra is suspended in a large amount of sterile water compared to the degree of active crystals, I'd think about having the Sculptra first. Wait about 6 weeks, to see the results of the Sculptra and then use another filler if you want additional... more

Restylane and Sculptra use

Combining filler can be (and is frequently) done, since they are usually placed at different levels. Sculptra is typically injected deep, right above or along the bone. Restylane is typically injected in the deep dermis or superficial fat. It really depends on the patient and physician if they want to do it at the same session or separately.

Sculptra And Radiesse Use

Sculptra and Radiesse could be used simultaneously but I would reccommend against it. Keep things simple and avoid and confusion if there are problems.

Using Sculptre and Radiesse (or Restylane) Simultaneously

For exact augmentation of the cheeks I prefer Radiesse because results are seen immediately. Sculptra works well, but multiple injections are necessary and improvement is gradual. I do not use Restylane for cheek augmentation because it does not last as long as the other products.

Sculptra and Radiesse Simultaneously

Sculptra and Radiesse can be used safely and effectively at the same time. It is important to understand that Sculptra is designed to be a gradual volumizer and the results take at least 4 weeks to take effect, usually necessitating multiple treatment sessions.

Yes

In the hands of an experienced, artistic surgeon, all can be done at the same time. Remember though, that Sculptra may take months for the final result. I prefer to use Sculprta for global volume improvement and Restylane or Radiesse for focal lines or precise contouring.

Using Sculptra and Radiesse at the same time

I have quite successfully used Radiesse and Sculptra treatments for different areas of the face in the same patient but I don't recommend injecting them simultaneously. I usually recommend injecting Radiesse first for the "instant" results which can then be followed by a series of Sculptra treatments at a future date to give longer-lasting results. I feel they each have certain advantages, when properly used, to fix volume loss in different areas of the face. Radiesse is... more
