Is it safe for a dermatologist to do Sculptra or is it better for a plastic surgeon?

A derm or a plastic surgeon can inject with solid quality results. Experience and training is important and you should ask about both during your consultation. Good luck. Dr. ALDO 

Now all experience injectors who have been certified can inject Sculptra. You should go to someone you know and trust. All physcians go through the same training. Don't be fooled by titles. Hope this helps. JB

Thank you for sharing your question.  Both board certified plastic surgeons and dermatologists are excellent options for your Sculptra injector so I would see the before and after images of their patients in order to make the best decision.  Hope this helps.

Sculptra is a great product when used correctly, but I would say that it requires a bit more experience than most other fillers.  You should look for a physician that has a lot of experience with Sculptra, and this could be a dermatologist, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon.  

Thank you for your question. Sculptra is safe to use as long its done by board-certified provider. Please make sure you research the before and after pictures and credentials of the providers you are interested in working with. 

Sculptra is a safe and effective treatment when performed by a skilled physician.  Board certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons are both qualified to inject Sculptra.  I have been safely injecting Sculptra for years and believe it is an excellent choice for subtle, natural volumization. I recommend searching for an aesthetic injector with plenty of experience using this product. 

You want to go to an injector who is trained, experienced, and comfortable with the product.  That injector is not necessarily a doctor.  Ask about experience and to see before/after photos.  You should be comfortable with your injector before beginning treatment.  

I would look for either a Dermatologist, Plastic Surgeon or Facial Plastic Surgeon with experience in injecting Sculptra. I think the specialty matters less then the experience level

Hi koubie,
It really depends on your aesthetic goals. Surgery can produce more visible results while Sculptra for is more subtle and has less downtime. It's like comparing yogurt to ice-cream and not Coke to Pespsi,
All the best,
