Is 2 vials of sculptra one in each cheek an ok amount as I don't want overfilled cheeks?

Question

Is 2 vials of sculptra one in each cheek an acceptable amount to start as I don't want overfilled chipmunk cheeks.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest starting small however if you really have a significant amount of lost volume you may need more over time.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello,Without an examination or at least photos, there is no way to intelligently answer your question. It really depends on your anatomic deficits and your age. I can tell you that the number one reason why people choose not to get more Sculptra is because they didn't see enough of a result, because they opted for less than the recommended amount in the beginning. Best of luck!

Thank
you for your question. It is difficult to give you advice with seeing a photo
or examining you in person. However, Sculptra requires a minimum of 2-3 treatments
to achieve optimal results. It is common to use 2 vials of Sculptra in one
treatment session. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to discuss
your concerns and to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

The amount of Sculptra needed for the cheeks depends on your anatomy and the facial structure and volume loss that you have.  If you have significant volume loss then two vials is completely appropriate.  Please consult an expert in Sculptra for the best cosmetic injections. Best, Dr. Green

Hi Whatcanmynamebe, 
Without providing photographs with different profile views of the area you'd like to have treated it is difficult to give any recommendations on the amount of vials that would be needed. I suggest having a consultations with an experienced injector.

whatcanmynamebe,
Thanks for the question.  Injecting 2 vials in a single setting is totally acceptable depending on your face, age, and areas you want to address.  I usually inject two vials per treatment every 4-6 weeks, though for some patients I use one.  This question really depends on your facial anatomy and expectations.

Susan Van Dyke, MD · Answer

Sculptra is designed to be done in a series of treatments 4 or more weeks apart.  This is because it works by stimulating your own body to increase volume in the area injected.  I generally recommend 1 to 2 vials per treatment for 3 or 4 sessions 6 weeks apart.  This gives the body enough time to respond to the treatment and thus avoid over treating or over filling.

Faiyaaz Kalimullah, MD, FAAD · Answer

It's impossible to say exactly how much Sculptra you would need without an assessment, either through an in-person consultation or at least by reviewing photos.  In general, Sculptra provides subtle results over a period of several weeks to months, and often requires a series of 2-3 treatments for best results.  That said, it is not uncommon to recommend 2 vials in a single Sculptra treatment session.  I would recommend that you seek out a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with extensive experience in Sculptra treatments prior to scheduling treatment.

Dennis Gross, MD · Answer

I agree with my colleagues below that it is really impossible to say without seeing photos to understand the amount of volume loss you have. Sculptra works over a series of treatments, typically three and depending on the amount of volume loss, can involve several vials. As long as you are seeing a reputable board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon experienced with Sculptra, I suspect you don't have anything to worry about.
