Can or should I get Sculptra if I have Multiple Sclerosis? (Photo)

Question

I have Multiple Sclerosis (Relapsing Remitting) 14.5 years now. I am 43 and having concerns re: hollowing in my temples and cheeks. I was told I am a good candidate for Sculptra. However, I am concerned about contradicting information regarding its use if you have MS or any other autoimmune disease. My Neurologist in not familiar with Sculptra and does not know how to advise me. I am currently using Ocrevus at a treatment for my Multiple Sclerosis and am stable.

Thank you for your question.  Should not affect your Multiple Sclerosis since fillers aren't injected into the muscles.  I would recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced physician for optimal results.  All the best

Typically MS is not a contraindication for injectables. However, you do need a consultation with a board certified physician in order to determine what is truly best for you case. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

In my opinion, it would be okay to use Sculptra in a patient with Multiple Sclerosis.  I would not consider this a contraindication to treatment.

I think you're going to enjoy this. There is absolutely nothing better for rebuilding the volume of the face or creating nice cheeks than the patient's own fat. Fat grafting will give you permanent and natural results. Make sure you find a plastic surgeon who has many, many years of experience with fat grafting. In my patients, there's absolutely zero fat loss and the results are always enjoyed by 100% of patiets. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City
