Am I good candidate for Sculptra or should I just get fillers? (Photo)

Hi Adventurous,

You are an excellent patient for Sculptra treatment by an expert injector. I believe that I can help you achieve your facial aesthetic goals with one or two sessions of Sculptra injections spaced over a 2 to 3 month period. I have been treating hundreds of patients like you with Sculptra over the past ten years without complications or problems. The most common adverse event, though I find it quite rare in my patients, may be a small bruise that resolves within a few days. Sculptra injections on the face require advanced injection techniques, the rate of complications is related to the injector, not the product. It is very. important that you choose your Sculptra injecting physician very carefully based on their experience with the product, their skill, knowledge, and most importantly their natural artistic vision. Please call my office at your convenience to schedule your consultation and appointment for your Sculptra treatment. I look forward to meeting with you and helping you achieve and maintain your aesthetic goals for many years to come. Happy and healthy Thanksgiving.

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.
