Does Sculptra give you bad popcorn skin underneath if I want future face lift?

Hi Angelee,
Great question that many of our patients are asking. Many of my colleagues and I have done facelifts on patients who have received Sculptra treatment in the past. There has not been a problem. With the deep plane face lift, very little skin is elevated before dropping down below the facial muscles over the bones of the face. Sculptra treatments are only as good as your treating physician. Therefore, it is essential that you choose your expert Sculptra injector most carefully based on their experience, knowledge, training, and natural artistic vision. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact our office to schedule a virtual or in person consultation. Good luck and be well.

Sculptra is a dermal filler used to stimulate collagen production, but it’s important to consult with a skilled medical professional for recommendations. There isn’t evidence to suggest Sculptra causes “popcorn skin.” However, potential side effects and outcomes can vary among individuals. Sculptra injections should not interfere with a future facelift procedure.
