I've read that Sculptra should be diluted hours or pref days before injection. With the Dr. i've been seeing, i bring the 2 vials from the pharmacy, he says he's "going to prepare them" and then i'm injected! 10 mins after i arrive. I haven't gotten lumps from it, but is there a problem with mixing/injecting straight away like that? I suppose he could tell me he's "preparing it" and then he goes and gets pre-prepared ones, but i've always had the impression he uses the ones i bring. Thanks.

Answer: Sculptra dilution time In my opinion, it is best to dilute Sculptra a while before injecting it. This time frame can vary by physician, but the manufacturer recommends diluting 2 hours prior to use. I find it is usually helpful to dilute more than 2 hours before injecting. I would not recommend diluting Sculptra 10 minutes prior to use. It is very likely that your physician has vials that have been prepared prior to your arrival and he is just switching them out. You could just ask his office about this to check.
