Sorry for the delay. Sculptra is something that really takes patience. The results are slow and I'm not surprised that you haven't seen anything yet. Be patient (as hard as I know that is!). It will take months and the results will continue for a long time. When I first had mine; maybe three years ago my face looked so thin. It hasn't gotten back to that previous condition. It sounds too like you have an excellent doc. I think the only downside to sculptra is lumps and your doctor sounds so excellent I wouldn't worry. You might want to keep a before picture to look at over the next 6 months. If you have a before. Ot take one now and I'm sure you will see a difference. Best of luck to you!

I had sculptra around the marrionete lines (form a half circle from edge of your mouth on either side of the chin) and my lower cheeks). I want the doctor to put some on my upper cheek bones but have yet to ask him. It looks so natural and the effect is gradual and subtle but definite. The initial look goes away but over time your body builds more volume as collegen and makes you look younger, I was afraid at first due to the stories of lumps which really scared me so the first Doctor I went to was Dr Connant in San Francisco was one of the original Drs who pioneered Aids research and has done injections for many years. He does an excellent job and I recommend him however he is very expensive. My new Dr is Dr Beverly in OC who is also excellent and I wIill go to him in the future. It is about 700 per syringe. To me it is worth it. WHen I can afford it I will go again. I'll be bringing my sister to him soon. Let me know if you have more questions. If you live in OC Dr Beverly is your best bet.
I have had sculptra too and love the results. My Dr prepares the sculptra a few days ahead of the injection so there are no problem with lumps. His name is Dr Beverly in OC. I got the recomendation from this site. He charged about $700.00. I went to another Dr before who was excellent but charged 2 times as much.
