Is Sculptra Safe in Skilled Hands?
I have seen several plastic surgeons.They feel that sculptra is best for me. I have hollowing of my temples & volume loss in cheeks. The drs have both never had any problems w/sculptra. They say that problems only arise when its not administered properly. Could my body have a reaction to it anyway?

Should you be wary of possible reactions with Sculptra?
How Sculptra works might help you feel more comfortable with choosing it for your volume loss and temple depressions.
Sculptra is delivered to the physician as micro fine powder in a sealed vial. The powder is primarily poly-L-lactic-acid (PLLA), the same material as dissolvable sutures. The powder is carefully reconstituted with sterile water for injection.
Once the PLLA is injected, your body will respond to its presence by manufacturing new collagen. This reaction is...

Sculptra is safe and gives great results
Any product or procedure is really only as good as the person doing it....so it is always in your best interest to choose your provider wisely. Sculptra can be great for volumizing the cheeks and temples. It doesn't provide the instant (or near instant) gratification that some other fillers do but if you are patient with the process and know in advance that you should expect to do 2, 3 or sometimes even 4 procedures and are willing to wait it out, then Sculptra is a great...

Sculptra is safe and effective in skilled hands
Sculptra is a very powerful facial volumizer. There is more bad things written about Sculptra than all other fillers combined. In my experience, the criticism is not justified. I have been using Scuptra in my practice since it was first available in this country and have authored several studies about this material (and no, I have no financial relationship with the company).

Sculptra is safe but there are risks with all fillers
Sculptra is not a filler but a volumizer. It is a "seed" that is planted and allows your body to mount a response by developing more collagen. Even when done by the most expert hands, there are very rare delayed lumps and bumps that are related to the immune reaction of your skin and subcutaneous tissue. We have learned to dilute the product more than when it was initially introduced into the U.S. and this has helped significantly.

Sculptra safe in skilled hands
Yes, very safe. But the misconception is it is 1 treatment! It on average is 3 to 6 treatment sessions usually 3 to 4 weeks apart to get the full benefit and result. Costs than approach $3K to $4k.

Yes it is safe
Sculptra is very safe when injected by a trained expert. No filler is 100% free of potential complications, however. Lumps, asymmetry, discoloration, swelling and bruising are the most common adverse events, but they are usually self-limiting and mild.
