I got Sculptra a year ago and I don’t look like me anymore. My face looks like a bloated puffer fish. What can I do? (Photo)

Question

Sculptra done January and March 2019. Face is bloated looking and unnatural. What would be the fix? I consulted a different injector and she said my full face should have not gotten sculptra, what can I do to look like me again!

Results from Sculptra are not permanent, so over time, the effect from your treatment will gradually go away and your face should return to the appearance it had before your treatment.

its really hard to see a difference between those photos, completely different angles and ligthing.  morpheus every 1-2 months, RF facials twice a month and buccal fat pad reduction with facetite can all help.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Sculptra injections can have a long-lasting effect but it's still not a permanent one n the majority of the patients.  Once the effect of Sculptra is gone, I would recommend that you receive any treatment if at all necessary only from a plastic surgeon with a great deal of experience in injectables and specifically sculptra. I hope to help send good luck from New York City plastic surgery

Hello and thank you for your question and photos.  As stated before, sculptra will dissipate over time.  Typical results last 2-3 years.  Good luck to you, you look beautiful!!
