How safe is Sculptra? I heard that you can go blind/ very rare though. I've had it three times no problem.

Question

I have never had a problem but I am scheduled to get it again in a few weeks. having heard this for the first time I am nervous. first time I got it was in 2005 and had three subsequent treatments over the years. is this something I should be concerned about? I am going to my dermatologists' partner who specialize in fillers.

Hi and thank you for your question! While there are some risks with all fillers, they are generally very safe and Sculptra is among the safest fillers as long as it is injected properly and in the right areas. As long as you are working with an experience physician, you should be fine and no concern is warranted. I hope it helps and good luck!

Sculptra is one of the safest and most natural injectables on the market. Sculptra itself will not cause blindness but it could be a side effect of injecting improperly. Check your injectors credentials and make sure they have a full understanding of facial anatomy.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Nearly 100% of complications that have occurred with the use of Sculptra we're related do the technique or reconstitution error. Sculptra, having very large particles, should be administered only with the use of cannula. in the right hands Sculptra is a great product. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City
