I'm 28 yrs old now. I've got my first Sculptra injection on my cheeks and lower face 3 weeks ago. I had to say I hate the puffy looking on my lower face . I was born with a heart shape face with little fat , but now the Sculptra brings me a rectangle face! I I know Sculptra may last for years , I just wonder if it would go away soon since I would not do the second treatment. And is it possible that the growing of collagen not stop after this injection?

Answer: Best Treatment to Correct Unsatisfactory Sculptra Result Hi Rachel,Sorry to hear about your concerns.The amount of volume change with Sculptra is directly proportional to the number of injection sessions that you have. Sculptra is a great facial rejuvenator when used properly and with natural artistic vision. I would re-evaluate your face in 3-6 months to restore your natural heart shaped face. Most importantly choose your injecting physician most carefully based on their skill, experience, and natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Answer: Sculptra -- Post Treatment Lower Face Overfilled I am sorry to hear your experience. #Sculptra is a collagen stimulating agent that is different than hyaluronic acid fillers (#Voluma, #Vobella, #Volift, #Juvederm, #Restylane). At this early stage, you are not seeing the "final" result and you are likely experiencing swelling. Over the next week, you will return close to your baseline appearance as the swelling decreases. Mild collagen growth will continue to occur for 4-12 weeks. Please voice your concerns to your board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon so he or she can re-evaluate and reassure you. Best of luck,Suneel Chilukuri, M.D.Houston, TX
