About a month ago i got sculptra injections for my butt to fix divots/dents. The bruises never really went away and i have the injections scars as well. I just received my second treatment today and I’m worried that I’m going to have even more scars. I’m so upset my doctor only recommended a lighting cream and he said it will go away in time. I am living in South Florida and i would love to be able to wear a bikini by March or May.. i just don’t understand why he didn’t tell me this would happen

Answer: PIH after Sculptra Butt Lift in dark skin Any skin trauma in darker skin types can end up with PIH. This should be treated with hydroquionone, Retin A, chemical peels, Aerolase, and PRP. Sun protection is also necessary. When I do the Butt lift with Sculptra, I use cannulas which is less traumatic and leads to less bruising. With multiple areas affected, my guess is that needles were used. Also, the Sculptra with cannulas is injected deep to the dermis leading to less dermal risk as well.

Answer: What to do to remove Sculptra butt lifts scars and hyperpigmentation 1 months post op? So many questions need to be addressed before any recommendations to treat these very minor discolorations can be offered. Best to seek only in person second opinions from surgeons whom offer Sculptra Buttock injections. Plus are you a scar former? that would maybe explain the markings. I am also concerned about the amount injected, the techniques used, did the MD inject or was it a staff member? etc..
