I'd like to have a bit more volume in my mid-face and buccal areas. While I'm considering fat grafting I think it's risky given the possible asymmetries/ variation in technique so I'm thinking of Sculptra. 1) Why does sculptra have only a 64% rating in real self? 2) What are the risks of sculptra? 3) Is it predictable compared to fat grafting? How can collagen formation be predictable? 4) How much does it cost per vial? Thanks.

Answer: Why does #Sculptra have a low #satisfaction rating on #Realself?
Sculptra is a great product but not meant for injection in the lip area. Now that you have this complication you may need a surgical removal. This is a complicated problem and you need to find someone who specializes in this type of procedure. Please let me know what happens. Best, Dr. Green
Yes, Sculptra is an excellent filler. That said, to the best of my knowledge there is not so much reported as using it for filling of the labia majora as you are requesting. Fat is commonly used here. Alternatively, an HA filler like restylane and Juvederm may be less...
There is no connection between sculptra injections and the development or worsening of autoimmune diseases. i would discuss this with your cosmetic dermatologist who can also speak to your treating physician.
