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 Reconstitution Time The beautiful thing about Sculptra is the results and longevity. However, this is the "rose bush" side of Sculptra because the complications can be difficult and hard to treat. I reconstitute Sculptra for a minimum of 5-7 days prior to injecting. Best to have a longer reconstitution time and avoid problems or "sculptomas".

CONTACT NOW Answer: Time from dilution to injection for Sculptra Dear nullibist:It is unlikely he would be able to inject Sculptra 10 minutes after dilution, as the dried material does not mix with the diluent immediately. For quite a while after mixing, the Sculptra particles are still clumped and separate from the diluting liquid.He is probably swapping out premixed vials for your vials. Not sure why he doesn't order it, but if you are having the treatment becasue of a medical condition, it may be required by your insurance plan that you obtain Sculptra from the pharmacy yourself. If so, it makes sense and I can't see any harm to you. He would be protecting you from having to make two visits to his office.All the best,Dr. Clark

Answer: Sculptra and Other Fillers for Facial Sculpting -- Dilution Sculptra should be diluted at least 24 hours in advance in my opinion. In my practice I dilute at least 72 hours in advance to avoid any risk of lump/nodules. The chance of this is minimal if the dilution is 9 cc or greater. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Sculptra Dilution time frame? The original recommnedation was to dilute 4 hours before use. However, most experienced injectors do this 4 to 5 days in advance.

Answer: Sculptra Reconstitution Amount & Timing While the FDA label for the product says one thing, the product should ideally be pre-mixed for at lease 24-48 hrs prior to injection. That allows the product to hydrate completely and helps to avoid nodules. The label also says to mix the product up with 5cc of sterile water per vial, but it is also recommended that the dilution is more. In my practice, I tend to mix the vials up about 72 hrs prior to injection. I use a 9cc dilution, but anywhere from 7-12cc per vial (depending on the area to inject the product) is generally accepted. It is most important to talk to your doctor and get the vials to him, prior to your appointment for injection.
