Bad Sculptra experience. I was recommended to use micro-silicone drops. What's the safety & pros or cons of this therapy?(photo)

Silicone should be done only by someone experienced.  I have done this for 8 years now and it takes more than 1-2 treatments for the best long term results with little complications.  Often I have patients return monthly to every 6 weeks for about 10-12 treatments with your type of facial hollows. I have patients who fly in every month or two for this type of treatment, because any permanent result is just that, permanent! If I wasn't going to use something permanent, I would use sculptra but in combination with Radiesse, which you would be a GREAT candidate for and would see immediate results.  Not a delayed gratification like silicone.  Any filler, it doesnt matter if its silicone, fat, sculptra ect, can cause necrosis if injected into a vessel.  It is more likely with silicone since it is a viscous substance and has to be injected with larger needles versus sculptra which is a solution and the needle can be aspirated (checked for blood) prior to injection.  I suggest going to a filler expert for your type of facial concerns.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Airenyc thank you for the pictures.  I am very sorry to learn of your experience with sculptra. Why would  you consider silicone that has not been  approved as a facial filler by the FDA ? My favorite  filler to help improve your facial contours is artefill.  It is proven,  long term,  soft and economical.  You could also consider fat transfer.  I would  be  happy to see you at my office to reach your desired outcome.
