What happens if you don’t premix Sculptra?

Question

My other doctor used to tell me that Sculptra needs to be premixed 2 days in advance. My new doctor said it’s unnecessary and she would mix it only after my arrival. How will that affect the result?

Erin Smith, MD · Answer

The older formulations of Sculptra did require a pre-mix several days in advance, however the new formulation is ready for use immediately following mixing. Sculptra can be a great choice for volume replacement. Discuss with a provider who is familiar with these treatments.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

Some doctors prefer to mix Sculptra in advance, but Sculptra can be mixed just before the treatment and it should not affect the results.  It can take a bit more shaking of the vial to get everything mixed well though.
