Great Vaser Lipo Experience So Far - Tampa, FL

Has my implant dislodged?

Hi Sats, Thank you so much for your response. I was so excited that I made an appointment with Dr. Cross the day you wrote back. Well today I went down there. (I live up in New Tampa). Dr. Cross was everything you said and more. I've had the Sculptra and love the result so far. I was concerned about looking like a freak for a couple of days but that was unfounded. I've been running errands all day. The result is so subtle that even my husband didn't notice. (He is usually very observant.) The worst thing about it was waiting for the lidocaine to wear off. She recommended that I come in again for a second treatment in a month. I hope that I don't absorb this stuff too fast and before it has a chance to grow the new collagen as I usually metabolize fillers at a fast and furious rate, thus they don't work for me. I did fat injections last year looking for an alternative to fillers and that was a complete waste of $$$ after about 10 days of down time.

Thank you so much for the update. I am so sorry that you've had a bad reaction. I wish there was more information about the dangers of mixing cosmetic procedures and something as "harmless" as dental work. I had breast aug recently, then went for my regular cleaning which caused a lot of gum bleeding. Believe it or not, that can jeopardise the breast implants as the bacteria stirred up in your mouth can get into your bloodstream and infect the implants (potentially causing capsular contracture). I was on anti-biotics for a week but wish I had waited to have my teeth cleaned. I hope you are feeling better.

Hi, I am interested in Sculptra and live in Tampa too. Are you still happy with your results? You mentioned spending $1600. Was this for each treatment (you said you had 2) or was the cost for both treatments combined? Thanks!

Hi, I am interested in Sculptra and live in Tampa. Are you still happy with your results? How did it work out for you in the long run? I'm also trying to get an idea on costs. You mentioned spending $800. Was this for 1 vial or more?

Thank you!!! Your response confirmed that I'm done with fillers. I've already flushed $3500 down the drain for fat injections in the face which lasted about 30 seconds. I am presently trying Exilis which is a skin tightening treatment done in series. I purchased 4 treatments and had my first one last week. No change yet...
