How long before going back to my baseline appearance with Sculptra/Radiesse?

Question

How long will it take for three rounds of Radiesse and two rounds of Sculptra to the jawline/chin before I go back to my base appearance? A vial each was used each time. I had these done two months apart between the ages of 27-28 by an inexperienced surgeon who told me they were dissolvable. My face shape has been altered so dramatically that I'm beyond depressed. Thank you.

You can use injectable steroids and 5fu to help reverse the sculptra/radiesse, sometimes RF treatments like venus viva with venus legacy or thermi250 and exilis help. I suggest you see an expert.  typically its better by 6-12 months.

The effects from both Radiesse and Sculptra gradually fade over time.  I would say effects from Radiesse should not last more than 12-18 months.  Effects from Sculptra can last 2-4 years.

Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, facial implants (cheek, chin), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years.  I have used Sculptra, Radiesse and other dermal fillers for over 30 years.  It may take 24 months, from the date of your last Sculptra injection, for your face to return to the pre-injection baseline.Hope this helps
