Can you have Sculptra while on an Anticoagulant?

nullibistFeb 27, 2019
I have to inject Clexane (Enoxaparin) for at least the next 3 months and am due for Sculptra for facial lipoatrophy in 6 weeks. As long as whatever would happen (bruising, some bleeding) would be temporary and would resolve over days/weeks i'm prepared to go ahead with it. Is there anything more dangerous/permanent to be concerned about? Thanks for any info. Danny.

YES you can use it in the hip areas and buttocks but you won't get the volume that a fat transfer can give. It will take time to see the result and the results will only last 2 years. Why not go back to your provider and add more fat for a more permanent solution. Hope this helps. JB

Sculptra can be used to improve the shape of the buttocks. Keep in mind, the buttocks need numerous vials of Sculptra over time to build volume, and in some instances the results are subtle and will need to be combined with fat or implants to achieve desired results. I recommend seeing a body...
