I have discoid (not systemic) lupus, can I have radiesse or sculptors?

November 22, 2021
Asked By:Brave200040 in Los Angeles, California

Hi! I have a slight sagging of the jowl and nasal labial folds. I'm 40, otherwise healthy, and have been diagnosed with discoid (not systemic) lupus. My condition is well under control with Plaquinil and I haven't had a flare in at least 11 years. Would I be able to use radiesse or sculptra or thread lift to remediate the sagging jowl and nasolabial folds? Or is fat transfer my only option? Please help. Thank you

Hi there Unfortunately this was not the right product for you. You need like a Refyne or Belotero. Botox may help as as well! Make sure you see an expert injector to discuss other options for you! Best of luck!
