Can Sculptra and Radiesse cause scarring in the face that may result in necrosis during the healing of a facelift flap?
Melissa175Oct 4, 2015
After necklift/lower facelift consults, a doctor asked about fillers/location. I've had 6 syringes Sculptra over 2 years-in temples/ upper cheeks; 2 syringes Radiesse: cheeks, nasal folds, marionette. Surgeon is concerned fillers caused scarring while building collagen and compromise flap healing, resulting in necrosis-but would not be able to tell until performing the surgery. How likely is this to happen? I do not have excessive skin in the neck or cheeks--just tightening jawline and neck.
