Sculptra for Cheek Asymmetry?

Tags: age 18-24, cheeks, asymmetry

I'm 20 years old and have one cheek slightly fuller than the other (behind the apple of my cheek). It's not a huge difference but I feel it totally throws the balance off. Would sculptra be a good treatment for this? Would I have to get it in both cheeks? I'd rather go the route of fat grafting but unfortunately have a mega-metabolism and am slightly under weight.

Sculptra is an excellent product for cheek asymmetry

Sculptra is an excellent product for cheek asymmetry as it is works wonders for facial contouring. It also lasts longer than most fillers and produces the body’s own collagen. You just want to make sure to find a trained Sculptra physician as it is not like injecting other fillers.

Asymmetry of the cheeks

Yes Sculptra may provide you with a balance that you wish. If the unaffected side is proportionally fine, then it doesn't need to be filled and only your atrophic side can be injected with the Sculptra. Usually it is a series of treatments and remember, it is not an instantaneous effect. It does take up to severalmonths to realize the benefit.

Sculptra for cheek asymmetry

Sculptra is best for treating overall facial wasting that occurs with age due to loss of fat and other supporting tissue. The body slowly digests the stimulus and new collagen is produced. The nice thing is that there is really no down time to this quick fix treatment, except for some possible bruising and initial swelling. Two to four applications spaced over four to six week intervals are normally needed to get Sculptra’s full effect and lasts about two years. You may also want to... more

Sculptra works well for cheek asymmetry

You are an excellent candidate for Sculptra augmentation in one or both cheeks. Obviously we would inject more on the less full cheek to achieve symmetry.

Sculptra for cheek asymmetry

Give it a try but it will take at least 3 sessions to see a average result. Why not try fat grafting or Artefill fillers. From MIAMI Dr. B

Sculptra is best for facial volumizing

A slight degree of facial asymmetry can be normal. But if you have it to a degree that is noticeable to others, a filler is a great option for temporary correction. Sculptra would be the best option currently available in the U.S. market, since you will achieve the greatest degree of correction for the longest period of time with Sculptra. Find an experienced physician injector to treat the cheek that you feel is not as full. You would not likely need treatment in both cheeks since... more
