40 Years Old, First Time with Sculptra - Santa Monica, CA

Doing well. Slight swelling

I quit smoking several years ago after 20 years. I had many fine lines which Dr.Karamanoukian took care of with CO2 laser. However my nasolabial folds were deep, and I had very strong marrionette lines. I am one of the happiest people I know, but my face looked "down" and the marrionette lines looked as if I were frowning all the time. After my eyelid surgery,and a 50 pound weight loss, I decided to "add the cherry on the cake" so to speak. We used half a vial and the results were instantaneous! When the nurse handed me the mirror I started to cry. It was better than I had even imagined.My boyfriend, who is not that easily impressed said it was "Absolutely Amazing". He never speaks like this. He could not stop talking about it on the way home. He said I looked at least 6 years younger (which is his age) Finally we match! I will continue to use Sculptra as needed. I have read not so positive reviews on Sculptra, but I beleive you must seek someone highly qualified with an artist's eye as well. This is why I would highly recommend Dr. Karamanoukian. Everytime I have gone to him I received a fantastic outcome. Sculptra and Dr. K together perform miracles!
