Can I get Sculptra if I want plastic surgery in the future?

There is a very minimal risk of scarring with Sculptra, especially if it is done by an experienced provider who knows what they're doing. Sculptra is quite safe, FDA approved, and is excellent at boosting collagen in the skin.

Hello G,
Sculptra is metabolized by our body and converted into collagen and connective tissue. The natural tissue can become a little tougher to dissect in subsequent surgery, but patients can still have surgery with an expert surgeon. Most importantly, seek an expert physician injector who knows where to place Sculptra to give you the volume replacement you deserve while preserving the soft tissue planes that will be involve in later surgery. Good luck and be well.

Hello Gregarious:

Nowadays facelifts are performed at a very deep level, beneath where Sculptra is placed, and plastic surgeons do not feel Sculptra interferes with a facelift.

I hope this is reassuring to you!
