Will collagen produced by Sculptra take longer to go away than my own collagen?

Asked By:Persistent757699 in Wales, United Kingdom

I’m 64 and had 4 vials of Sculptra a year ago in my cheekbones and jawline, effectively giving me a facelift, which I hate. I expect the 3rd treatment would have sorted the hollows I did want done, but then I’d look even younger, so I don’t want to risk anymore Sculptra. Will the collagen produced by sculptra take longer to go away than my own collagen? If so, I will end up stuck with the cheekbones and jaw and even hollower cheeks than I already have. And will the shape stay the same as all collagen on the face degrades at the same rate? Or will the Sculptra degrade first and my normal face shape come back? Will my face always look younger when the Sculptra has gone?
