When can I get a deep plane facelift after Sculptra? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and for providing a photo.
I have not seen as many issues with sculptra in terms of facelift surgery as with some other injectables (particularly threads). It also depends where you received your injections as directly under the eye should not affect facelift surgery since the dissection for this is more lateral than that area typically. For the under eye, I would strongly consider whether fat transfer to the under eye/upper cheek and/or a lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning would be more beneficial than a facelift, but they can certainly be performed in conjunction with eachout.
Your best bet is to schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon who specializes in facial rejuvenation to further discuss and determine which options fit best with your goals.

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. .

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.
