Sculptra on Fuller Faces - will it widen my face? (Photo)

My natural face and chin are on the fuller/wider side. I’m considering Sculptra to correct some laxity I’ve seen after losing a large amount of weight. In particular I’ve developed deeper nasiolabial folds which is more apparent in certain lighting conditions. However I wonder if I’m a good candidate since online in some before/after photos I do see that Sculptra can widen people’s faces. Is Sculptra more for people with more definition or thinner faces?

Hello Amarkian, Yes, it is safe to have laser treatment even the same day as having Sculptra injections. Unlike typical hyaluronic acid filler injections, Sculptra is not affected by heat based treatments. Good luck and be well. Michael A. Persky, MD Encino, CA

I gave up using Sculptra quite a few years ago. It is expensive, does not yield immediate results (usually takes at least three sessions over a three month period of time) and the results last about two years or so. Robust HA volumizing fillers for cheek augmentation typically yield immediate,...
