Hello! I'm very self conscious about how hallow my face looks. I just turned 30, I don't smoke, drink or do drugs and I want a more full face and i'm debating if Sculptra is right for me or fillers is best? What are the complications from Sculptra and how common are the risks?
Answer: Sculptra vs. HA fillers Either Sculptra or HA fillers could give you a very nice result. Fillers offer immediate gratification in that you see the results almost right after your procedure. Those improvements typically last 6-18 months, depending on the filler used and how quickly your body metabolizes the hyaluronic acid. Sculptra works by triggering your body to produce more collagen, creating the most natural and longest-lasting results in most cases. However, you will not see your improvement for a few weeks or even months. You will also likely need a series of injections to produce an optimal outcome. My advice is to schedule a consultation with a very experienced and qualified injector. By examining you in person and discussing your concerns and goals in greater detail, your injector will be able to determine the best treatment plan for you.

Answer: Sculptra for a Thin Face Hello Adventurous. Yes, Sculptra is an excellent option for you and for anyone with very thin features. It is an excellent product for naturally contouring the face with your own collagen. In your situation, we would caution you to use Sculptra to add softening and volume, but without changing the shape of the face. You have a long, thin facial structure and this is your particular facial anatomy. Trying to make a face like yours too round will lead to a very unnatural appearance. Vest of luck.

Answer: Using Injectables for Facial Shaping and Contour We're lucky to have such a wide variety of fillers which can be "mixed and matched" to contour and shape the face.

Answer: Sculptra is a Face Softener Although a majority of practitioners prefer hyaluronic gel fillers best because they can be reversed, Sculptra is a great alternative that actually is different in the kind of results you get. HA fillers have a large 'elastic modulus', or in layman's terms, a lot of lifting power. They can create definition and volume. Sculptra is a product that stimulates collagen production and provides a softer volumization. You already have cheek definition, you need to blend and fill the lower areas (buccal region) to give your face volume and softness. Sculptra is not permanent, unlike Bellafill, and eventually over 12 to 18 months dissipates. When done correctly, Sculptra will be smooth and not lumpy, a reputation it gained 2 decades ago from use in HIV positive men with facial fat wasting. Understanding why it got lumpy allowed for better techniques that almost insure a smooth result. Be aware of practitioners who want to over treat you with a all sorts of things you don't need.
