Can you get Sculptra after a treatment of hyperdiluted Radiesse to the same area, a few days or weeks after?

Question

Hi, is it possible to have a treatment with Sculptra on the cheeks after having had one in the same area with hyperdiluted Radiesse? Unfortunately, my provider says I will need to wait at least 6 months before having Sculptra since the results will start to show gradually during the following months. Since I feel like Radiesse hasn't filled up my (sunken) cheeks enough, i would like to proceed with a treatment with Sculptra. Would very much appreciate your opinion

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Hyper diluted radiesse should not be used in the cheek area to begin with, as your body will absorb all of the saline and leave you with whatever radiesse which was actually injected. Approximately four weeks after the procedure with Radiesse you may be able to add Sculptra. But as a general rule, you do not, or should not mix different products in the same region. You may be better off, adding some more Radiesse   I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery You’re one of the roads are still the temp is Donald.

Your question raises some ethical issues. From your use of "my provider" indicates you had injections from non MD injector? Thus you might want/need to seek MD injector if desiring injection of another product after 1 week. I do inject only after 1 week but I see the patient and describe the risks/benefit ratios.
