To which Khlo&eacute; replies, &ldquo;They suck you in, they hold you tight, and they still show off your silhouette.

One commented, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re doing some nonsurgical work today, but it&rsquo;s a secret. Okay.&rdquo; Another chimed in: &ldquo;Right!

Dr. Rubinstein tells us. But then there are more &ldquo;egregious cases,&rdquo; he notes, like those featured on the show, where patients have been operated on, sometimes multiple times, by unqualified providers who may not even be legitimate plastic surgeons. &ldquo;The stuff that goes on in our field doesn&rsquo;t happen in any other branch of medicine,&rdquo; he adds. &ldquo;You&rsquo;d never go to a colorectal surgeon for cardiac surgery. But that sort of thing has become commonplace in plastic surgery.&rdquo;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-injectors-are-buzzing-about-the-relaunch-of-sculptra\">Injectors are buzzing about the relaunch of Sculptra<\/h2><p>The injectable collagen-stimulator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realself.com\/nonsurgical\/sculptra-aesthetic\">Sculptra<\/a> (poly-L-lactic acid) has earned several new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galderma.com\/us\/news\/galderma-receives-fda-approval-new-sculptra-label-offering-more-options-aesthetic-partners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FDA approvals<\/a>, prompting an official relaunch of the drug. The label updates pertain mainly to how providers reconstitute, or prepare, the product for injection&mdash;and are designed to make the process more convenient and comfortable for patients.<\/p><p>While Sculptra is perhaps best known for restoring lost volume in a gradual fashion&mdash;it was originally approved for treating facial wasting in HIV patients&mdash;ongoing clinical trials are demonstrating the drug&rsquo;s less-publicized power to decrease fine lines and wrinkles while improving the overall quality of the skin, for up to two years or more.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realself.com\/dr\/michael-t-somenek-washington-dc\">Dr. Michael Somenek<\/a>, a Sculptra investigator and board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Washington, D.C., recently spoke about the drug&rsquo;s benefits on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/6PK2QL90znLl6P9rtUqVHe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Blade &amp; Beyond<\/em><\/a>, the podcast he cohosts with his partner, board-certified plastic surgeon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realself.com\/dr\/troy-a-pittman-washington-dc\">Dr. Troy Pittman<\/a>. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s something called the Sculptra glow,&rdquo; Dr. Somenek says. &ldquo;A lot of Sculptra injectors, we notice in the imaging we do consistently with patients that their skin quality looks better [after treatment]. And in further studies we&rsquo;re doing, that&rsquo;s being assessed&mdash;radiance and things of that nature.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p><p>Dr. Somenek expects that the relaunch will introduce the injectable to a more diverse swath of aesthetics enthusiasts, including those in their 20s and 30s who are aiming to stall volume loss while their collagen cells are still young and reactive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Month in Aesthetics, a recap of industry-molding moments, Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian got secret skin tightening, new Juvederm approval,
