Sculptra for jawline? (Photo)

Question

I'm 43. I had infini, and I get Botox in my platysmal bands. Can sculptra help my jaw line look better? My chin is weak, and my jawline wasn't before, but in my 42nd year I started noticing drooping!TY

David Shafer, MD, FACS · Answer

Sculptra certainly will add a subtle enhancement.  Generally I prefer Sculptra for areas such as the temporal fossa or global volume in the cheeks.  For the jawline I prefer Radiesse or Voluma.  These products will give you instant improvement and the product has nice structure and enhancement when placed directly on the mandible (jaw bone) and chin.  Voluma has an advantage of being long lasting (up to two years) and is reversible if you don't like how it looks.  Radiesse has the advantage of having 50% more product per syringe in case you need more volume or are on a budget.Good Luck

Thanks for the question and photos. Sculptra is a great product that works to produce more collagen within the dermis. Recommended treatment areas involve the cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds, and jaw line. We have seen great results with all areas, especially when the patient receives multiple treatments. Both women and men ask about more defined jaw lines, and sculptra is both a safe and effective treatment to do so!

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

Yes. Sculptra will help with the jawline and the cheeks as well. Sculptra is FDA approved in the face and you should have a formal consultation for best results. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Thank you for your photos. Sculptra could be used for your jawline but ideally I recommend it for larger areas where you desire a significant amount of added volume such as sunken cheeks. Unlike other injectable fillers, Sculptra is a volumizing filler that causes the body to produce new collagen. This means it takes longer to show results, but also that the results may last longer than other filler. I recommend getting an in-person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.

So I would need a lateral to say for sure but I think you have a strong chin. You can of course always make it stronger but for you, i think it is more likely that you are experiencing the early signs of mid and lower facial ageing. Rather than strengthening your chin, there may be something more surgical that you might want to consider like a neck lift. Hope that helps, Adam Goodwin

Dear  IzzyandLumen:
·         Congratulations on taking great care of yourself. Thanks for sharing your photos. 
  
·         Sculptra is a bio-active filler. While it will provide a smaller amount of filling volume, it does induce skin tightening unlike any other injectable. Think of Sculptra under the skin like retinoids on the skin. The stimulate the skin to exfoliate, regulate and produce collagen and other structural molecules to rejuvenate skin laxity. 
  
·         Yes, you can use it along the jawline at the bone, subcutaneous and subdermal levels but you would be best advised to stimulate tightening of the entire facial surface including the cheeks, naso-jugal folds, nasolabial folds, marionette folds, chin – jaw – nasal – and cheek recessions as well.·         As reviewed above, I also recommend considering external retinoids too.Please consult with a well experienced, skillful Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to review your desires and to best achieve your goals. 
  
All the best!

Thank you for your question. I agree with the prior answer: sculptra is a great treatment for enhancing the jawline. It is definitely subtle and it does require at least two treatments and likely three or four for best results.

Faiyaaz Kalimullah, MD, FAAD · Answer

Thank you for your question, and for submitting your photo.  Sculptra is one of my favorite products for subtly lifting and contouring the jawline.  Sculptra is a collagen stimulating filler - after injection, it actually promotes your own body to produce new collagen to add volume and contour.  Initial results are typically visible in about 6-8 weeks, and continue to improve for a few months after each treatment.  Most patients require 2-3 sessions for best results.  I would recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss the best treatment plan for you.  Best of luck!
