Asked By:wendysway in New York, New York

I am two weeks out from total hip replacement (anterior approach) and healing fast. I and want to have Sculptra facial injections. The surgeon's PA said to wait three months, a dermatologist said its oaky. "no problem" just make sure injection site is clean. I would appreciate a clear, concise answer that possibly stems from experience as opposed to guessing. is there any information or research on infected artificial joints from facial fillers especially Sculptra, Botox and Juvederm.
