I had a Sculptra injection and am supposed to have 1 more in 6 weeks, the doctor's idea was to make my skin stronger so he can do a threadlift. After doing some research I think this is not for me and I'd like to go back to my original idea of having a traditional facelift - but I am now worried that if I get a facelift when my skin is a bit tighter from the Sculptra treatment it will sag again in 1-2 years once the Sculptra wears off. Can this be a problem after just 1 Sculptra injection?

Answer: Face lift after Sculptra
Face lifts and volumizing procedures such as fat grafting or sculptra work together instead of getting in the way of each other. It would be fine to do a lift after sculptra.

Answer: Face Lift
See a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an assessment. We do not do thread lifts as they do not seem to have any long term benefit, and suture reactions can be an issue. Thus, the facelift sounds like a good idea, and a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon can assess if Sculptura is an issue now or will be in the future. Perhaps you will need Sculptura in the future.

Answer: Facelift after Sculptra
First, I agree with your decision to skip on the threadlift, and go with a proven surgical procedure. Second, a single injection of Sculptra is not going to significantly fill out your cheeks and interfere with your long term facelift results.
