My doctor said I would benefit from using Sculptra for the little criss cross wrinkles and bagging under my eyes. I haven't read much on Sculptra being used in this area. She tried Botox, but it doesn't really do too much in that area. I just turned 44 years old and am fair-skinned. I am also concerned about excessive bruising in that area. Any advise for using Sculptra on this area for eye bags and wrinkles? Thanks!
Answer: Sculptra under the eyes Sculptra can be used to improve volume loss in certain areas, but its ability to improve the lower eyelid area depends highly on patient anatomy. If there is volume loss in the cheeks and descent of the soft tissues of the cheek away from the orbital rim, then Sculptra may be helpful to restore volume in this area and camouflage the lower eyelid problems. Keep in mind that Sculptra will not directly address the lower eyelid bags and will simply be temporarily disguising them. The Sculptra should also not be injected near the eyes or close to the eyelid skin due to risks of complications. Even when performed properly, this is going to be a temporary and unsatisfactory solution in most patients. A similar option (although quicker) would be to use a hyaluronic acid-based product like Restylane to disguise the lower eyelid bags more directly, and then add volume to the cheeks with Sculptra. Ultimately, the best option is going to be a lower eyelid blepharoplasty in addition to something (Sculptra, Voluma, fat transfer, cheek implants, etc) to restore volume to the cheek area. Using fat transfer or cheek implants, this results in a permanent solution and the best cosmetic result. Always see an expert physician injector for any injections, and for lower eyelid issues, see a surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics. All the best,

Answer: Sculptra For Under the Eyes or Tear Trough? Sculptra does well for cheek augmentation and global loss of volume. However, it should not be used in patients for under eye areas, including the tear trough, as the skin is very thin and the chance of a visible nodule or granuloma is higher. In addition, the mobile area around the eye is much more likely to clump the product and the use of Sculptra should be avoided.

Answer: Sculptra around eyes I do not use Scuptra to address eyelid laxity, wrinkles, bagging(festoons). It has no place for use in the soft periorbital skin. Options to consider would include Belotero injections into the fine lines or using some energy based technology to tighten loose eyelid skin. Options we consider with our patients include: customized Ultherapy treatments, Genesis treatments, RF treatments such as Pelleve, and skin resurfacing with ablative lasers. Severe laxity may even require surgical correction.

Answer: Sculptra under the eyes Sculptra is good for many things and in the right hands, the areas under the eyes can be treated skillfully. However, with so many good hyaluronic acid fillers that can be easily reversed, the area around the eye is not recommended as an area of treatment with Sculptra. Sculptra is a wonderful drug in 'thicker' parts of the face.
