Is what I immediately saw after Sculptra injections (minus swelling) close to what my results will look like?

Question

Over time will my face look as it did immediately after Sculptra injections? I loved how I looked immediately after, but my face now appears as it did before the injections.,

The final results after a series of Sculptra treatments will depend on how many treatment sessions are done and how much Scuptra is used in each treatment.  I would say that it is usually possible to achieve the immediate results seen after the injections.  Since Sculptra is a stimulating agent, those immediate results normally will fade over a week or so and then there will be some gradual improvement over a month or two.  Multiple treatment sessions are usually needed to provide the desired improvement.

Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS · Answer

Sculptra comes in powder form and needs to be diluted in sterile water prior to injection. The improvement that is seen immediately after the injections is due to the water. As the water is reabsorbed and the swelling subsides things will go back to the way they were before your injection. The collagen building process then begins and can take 3-6 months. Usually multiple sessions are needed for optimal results. Make sure you are under the care of an experienced physician. Best wishes.

Sculptra is a fantastic injection and it takes several treatments to have the full effect of Sculptra.  Sculptra injections are saline based and the injections mirror the full results of the injections.  The final results of the injections are dependent on how many vials are injected and the volume loss.  For the best cosmetic results please consult an expert in Sculptra.  Best, Dr. Green

The solution that is used to reconstitute Sculptra is usually absorbed by the body in the first day. This makes the patient frequently believe that they got no result, but nothing could be further from the truth, because approximately six to eight weeks later the volume is restored and Improvement is seen. This Improvement does not happen overnight but over six to eight weeks and in some patients even a little longer. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City
