Cecile,Hello and thank you for the question. In my practice, I reconstitute Sculptra with 8 ccs of sterile water 2 weeks prior to the procedure. On the day of the procedure I add 2 ccs of 1 % lidocaine, for a total of 10 ccs per vial. This has worked well for me and my staff.Warmest Regards,Glenn Vallecillos, MD, FACS
Sculptra should be reconstituted at least 24 hours before injection. Depending on where you go, different offices may reconstitute a couple weeks or days before injection. Every injector has their own technique. However, it should be at least 24 hours before injection.
