Sculptra for Hollowed Cheeks and Under Eye Hollows?

Sculptra is OK for the cheeks but NOT for under the eyes.

Sculptra in cheeks, yes; lower lids, NO
Sculptra is great to use to fill out about the cheek bones, but it takes at least six weeks to see an effect. For patients in a hurry we typically will prefer Radiesse which will give an immediate effect. Both are good. For maximum effect in patients with loss of a lot of fat, we typically prefer to do two treatments so the tissues can settle in and the look is natural.
We NEVER use Sculptra or Radiesse in the lower lids, since both have a high incidence of showthrough. (As a referral...
