I had sculptra in the cheek 2 weeks ago. Can I have Restaylane for tear trough or should I wait? (photos)

Question

I know the sculptra starts to work within 6 weeks and because I had sculptra injected in the cheek two weeks ago and now I want to have restaylane for tear trough I'm afraid that the final result of the treatment at the lower eyelid area will be affected when the sculptra starts to show result or it would not affect as the area for both treatments are different areas?

You need to wait to get the complete treatment of Sculptra prior to decide if you need to have your tear trough treated with Restylane.  Sculptra can change the need for tear trough treatment. I would wait at lease 6 to 8 weeks after the last treatment with Sculptra to begin treating you with anything else.

Hello.  Because Restylane in the tear trough is normally injected under the muscle and away from the cheek area, it's unlikely that you would have any issues with using the product at the same time.  We have done this many times and have not had any interactions between the products.  Good luck and for examples of Los Angeles Sculptra before and after photos, click the link below.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

the answer is yes. I often do them on the same day actually.  If you go to an expert injector who uses cannulas for injection to limit bruising and swelling and give precise placement, you do not need to worry about injecting the fillers on the same day.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It is definitely okay to have Restylane placed into the tear troughs after Sculptra was placed into the cheeks.  There is no interaction of the two products and as you mentioned, they are in slightly different areas.  I have used that exact combination for the same areas many times.

Hi Dadazinha, I have used Sculptra and Restylane together in the same setting in my practice many times without any issues. For tear trough I prefer Belotero over Restylane injected with a Cannula.  Best, Dr. Yaghouti
