im currently 49, I received sculptra first time Sept 2024. I developed a small eye bag about a month after. my injector told me it was aging. I waited till our next appointment in Jan 2025, and she recommended co2 laser for the eye bag which I didnt do, and she didnt attribute it to anyting she had done.,we did the second round of scupltra, within a month I was assymetrical, very puffy on one side, brow ptosis which im unsure how this happened. and the skin under the bag has hollowed out more. she tells me that there is no way scupltra has done this. I what I want to know is when I can get a deep plane lift. im concerned about I consider it now to be recontructive surgery. im afraid the scupltra will react or the surgery cant be done due to adhesions. can I still get a good result now and how long do I need to wait?
Answer: From Filler to Facelift: When Is It Safe After Sculptra? Yes, you can still have a deep plane facelift after Sculptra, but timing is key. The Sculptra needs time (3–12+ months) to settle and mature into collagen. As long as your facial tissues are soft, non-inflamed, and without any thickened areas, a facelift is possible. The surgery will be safe and effective in the hands of a skilled surgeon who knows how to navigate previous fillers. A physical exam is essential to determine when your tissues are ready.

Answer: Sculptra I would highly recommend against letting anyone (especially an injector) inject Sculptra into the face. It creates a very large scar burden and can be highly unpredictable (especially in sensitive areas like around the eyes). You can proceed with seeking a surgical intervention. I would just be very transparent with the surgeon you select by sharing what has been injected/where.

Answer: Deep plane facelift Sculptra is a product that theoretically lasts 3 to 5 years max. That being said, the product would not prevent you from having a deep plain facelift. I would recommend that you let your surgeon know that you have Sculptra in place prior to your procedure. Additionally, I would recommend that during your procedure have some fat grafting carried out in order to balance out the asymmetry in your face. .

Answer: Deep plane facelifting after Sculptra Thank you for your question. I have been in practice over 30 years. I had tried Sculptra many years ago and never found it to be helpful. When I pole my patients, there are very few people who actually feel that Sculptra was beneficial. The question is how long after having a Sculptra injection can you perform facelifting? There should not be any issues after 3 or 4 months. Sculptra is mostly water and some suture material which dissolves by 3 to 4 months. You should be fine to go ahead with a deep plane facelift at your leisure. Best wishes to you.
