I had 4 vials of Sculptra in different areas of my face. Will the 5th vial create enough collagen on my cheekbones to blend in?

Question

I have had 4 viles of Sculptra and today i had a 5 vile. This 5th vile was placed on my cheekbone which the other 4 viles were not. They were placed on my cheek under the cheekbone. My question is since the other viles were not place on my cheekbones will this 5 th vile create enough Collagen on my cheekbone to blend in with my previously treated cheeks that have had 4 viles?

Our office specializes in Sculptra injections and we continue to see excellent results in the cheeks and mid face with Sculptra use. Good luck and continue to massage the soft tissue after injections. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Sculptra usually does very well on the cheekbones. One vial between two sides is a reasonable amount to start with. Wait 6 months and see how your face looks before deciding with your physician if you require a 6th vial on the face.In general, if you are 50 years old you require 5 vials, if you are 60 years old you require 6 vials. I don't know your age nor what your face looks like. Certainly the deep cheek and cheek lower eyelid junction is a good place to re sculpture the face and add volume by biostimulation with Sculptra (poly L lactic acid). I expect you will be very pleased with the results, after being patient whilst it is laying down collagen.
