Sagging nasolabial folds - Would Sculptra work for me? (photo)
brittsullivan85Mar 28, 2025
I lost 50 lbs last year and noticed these sagging nasolabial folds pretty quickly after that. I waited to see if my skin might tighten up on its own but it has not. A dermotologist suggested that what likely happened is that the volume loss is actually in my cheeks above the nasolabial area, and the extra skin just happened to sag and end up there in the nasolabial fold. Therefore, any treatment wouldnt need to be on my nasolabial folds but the cheeks to address the volume loss. I'm 39 and would like to know if Sculptra would address my concerns? The doctor who does the sculptra at the consultation I visited mentioned I might want it in my temples as well, but I definitely dont want to overdo it. Do my temples have significant volume loss as well?
