I mixed sculptra with Bacteriostatic sodium chloride instead of Bacteriostatic water. Can a doc use this on a patient's face?

Question

I mixed sculptra with Bacteriostatic sodium chloride instead of the Bacteriostatic water. Can the doctor still use it on a patient face? Is this a bad substitution. Will the patient have an adverse reaction.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It will have no impact at all on the treatment as long as the same dilution is being used.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I have been using Sculptra for about 4 years and have always used bateriostatic saline for the mixture.  I also train other doctors for Galderma. This is not going to affect results.

Either solution is OK for mixing Sculptra. I prefer to dilute with 5 cc of sterile water. We use Sculptra as an injectable filler in our Williamsville, NY office.
