I’m planning on getting pregnant this year. Will Sculptra buttocks injections before conceiving affect pregnancy or lactation?

Question

Harold J. Kaplan, MD · Answer

Hello,
A good question, but our answer may not be what you are expecting.   There are no known reasons for why you should not have Sculptra injections for the buttocks if you are not pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of treatments.  However, we would like to suggest that it may be prudent to wait until AFTER pregnancy/breastfeeding.  The reason being, hormonal fluctuations and body changes may greatly affect how you will respond to treatments.  Your goals/needs may be quite different following pregnancy with regards to weight changes as well as body shape changes.   By waiting, you may have a better financial  investment and outcome.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

pregnancy really should have no effect on sculptra but it will not affect you getting pregnant or lactating.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

The safety of Sculptra for use during pregnancy, in breastfeeding females or in patients under 18 years has not been established.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

There should not be any issues with having Scuptra treatment prior to becoming pregnant.  Treatment before pregnancy should not affect the pregnancy or lactation.

Dean P. Kane, MD, FACS · Answer

Dear marie142814, 
I see no contra-indication up to the day you conceive. Sculptra is a bio-active filler that does have "signaling" activity to stimulate fibroblast generation of collagen and other molecules.  Please discuss this with your Board Certified Injector and your Gynecologist  as to its necessity as the FDA states: Safety and effectiveness of SCULPTRA Aesthetic has not been evaluated in subjects who are pregnant, lactating, breast feeding, or under 18 years of age.

I wish you all the best!
