WORTH IT$600
I've has sculptra injections 4 different times over the span of a year. My main treatment areas have been crows feet area, temples, tear through hollows (very conservative in this area) and cheeks. I have a thin face, so volume was what I needed. The results look very natural and makes me look young and fresh. I love it and will continue to use it as needed. There was one area on my face that had a very defined sunken in area, I had to treat it with a different type of filler.

You look great! That is the result I'm hoping to get. Would you tell me where you went for your injections? I live in Oklahoma City as well and I'm looking for the best place/price. Also, is the $600 per injection? Thanks so much!

Thank you!! I'm sorry I didn't respond earlier, I just saw your post. I went to dr Michelle Cohn. $600 was per vial. Her regular price is higher than that but you can catch some great deals. Last time I called I think they were having a rebate through December. Best of luck to u!

It looks really good, very natural, gives you a refreshed youthful look, I am thinking of starting this treatment next year for similar areas to yourself , there are quite mixed reviews and it seems down to the individual's body as to how it's tolerated and the results gained

I am surprised that it hasn't gotten better reviews. I'm not sure why that is. Iv noticed the risk of getting lumps seems higher in the tear throughs, so I avoid that area even tho I could use help there. I had them done the very first time but not again after that. Also some of the people might not have wanted to pay for enough of the product or have all the areas treated. My dr injects it into my temples and into my scalp behind my temples. I was surprised how much of a difference that made. The final results also take a couple months to fully develop. Best of luck to you. I hope you love it as much as I do!!

I have just had the 4th treatment in over a 20 month span. I am very pleased with the results. It is crucial to follow the after treatment recommendations. To avoid getting the lumps you absolutely need to massage the areas for 5 minutes 5 times per day for 5 days. Sculptra is not a filler. It is a product that induces your own body to produce collagen. That is why it lasts so long. The product contains water taht causes the swelling. After 3 days or so the water is absorbed, your face looks like it did before treatment and then a slow gradual process of collagen building begins.

That's great news. I'd love to see your before and afters. What all areas did you treat?
December 30, 2014
Sorry to say that I don't have photos. I take them and then delete them after a bit. (Don't want any evidence hanging around, haha) I started with first 2 vials in cheeks, March 2013, in October 2013 had another 2 vials in same areas adding a little at temples. In April 2014, same areas. I have been extremely pleased With the results. My face is thin and my jaws have a little sag toward the front near my chin. I wanted to lift it without having a face lift so yesterday I had 2 vials under my cheekbones and between cheekbones and nose. Doc said my cheeks were flat there. Want to specify that when i have 2 vials i mean 1 vial each side of my face. So by now i know the drill, extreme swelling first 2 days, then by the 3rd day you start to think that you wasted your money. But over the next month or so your face starts to appear fuller and you look 17 again. I love it!

That's awesome. I love it too. I'm so surprised it's reviews aren't better.
December 30, 2014
I am guessing that the reason is that the reviewers haven't followed the post procedure treatments. Ie. massage, massage, massage. And the docs didn't inject deep enough. I have read that if the injection isn't deep enough then the nodules form. And also, Sculptra is not recommended for area around the eyes or for nasolabial folds. Or for foreheads, either, I think.

You look great! I've had one treatment so far and really like my results. I'm in Va and one vial is $600 here too. Another treatment scheduled for January. Thanks for posting.

I have shopped around a lot. $600 is a great deal. In the beginning I was more conservative and each time I went I let her do more and more. She injected quite a bit into my temples and in my scalp behind my temples and I think that made a huge difference.

Can you please tell me what type of filler you used?

The type of filler is a poly L-lactic acid injectable called sculptra.

Love all your photos!  They really tell the story- you can see subtle changes over time and I think you look great.  You were already really pretty but you achieved subtle results that make you look really refreshed!

My sculptra face

After I read some of the other sculptra reviews, I felt I should add some more details regarding the look and shape of my post sculptra face. Some of the negative remarks I read said it made their face too full and changed the look of their face to the point that they didn't look like themselves anymore. On some level I do agree with these comments. I have always had a slim angular face. After sculptra, Initially I didn't notice it as much looking at myself in the mirror, but when I see pictures of myself, I am surprised at how totally different the overall shape of my face looks. Once I noticed it in the pictures, I started noticing it more in the mirror too. My whole adult life I would catch glimpse of myself in the mirror and see so much of my mother looking back at me. It suddenly occurred to me that I really don't see it at all anymore. With all that being said, I am still thrilled with my sculptra results and I consider it the best option for me. You just need to know what it is you are getting into and decide if it is right for you.

Thank you for posting -very helpful. My face is very similar to your before pics - very angular. After losing some weight, my face appears too thin. Can you tell a little bit about the area you described as being more sunken and requiring a different type of filler? Also, how was the post injection recovery?

My wisdom teeth cause bone loss in my jaw. The bone loss causes a sunken in area at the back of my jaw and up into the lower cheek area. The sculptra def improved it, but not as much as I wanted, so I had it filled with Radiesse. Below is a link to the review I wrote on it. I'll post some more pics on this review of it also. Based on my experience, sculptra is ideal for adding fullness to areas that need it due to weight loss and effects of aging. Since it works by promoting your body to produce collagen, the results are natural looking, smooth contours and it lasts approx 2 years. If you have some specific problem area like I did, u can always spot treat it with one of the thicker fillers. As for the recovery, I always did it during the week and never missed a day of work. The main thing I experienced is soreness. Kind of like your muscles after a work out. The only problems I had occurred in the tear through hollows. Once she hit a blood vessel and it caused a minor black eye and another time she hit a nerve and the lidocaine paralyzed my eye muscles, but it wore off in like 10 minutes. I prob had one or two other small/light bruises but nothing significant. Hope this helps. If you need any more info, let me know. http://www.realself.com/review/oklahoma-city-radiesse-hollow-area-back-cheek-and-jaw
