Is there anything that can be done after Sculptra in lips? (Photos)

She never told me that it wasn’t reversible like the HA fillers she has always used previously, and she certainly never told me that sculptra isn’t meant for lips.

I frequently will inject Sculptra into an area that has previously been treated with a dermal filler. Sculptra works differently than most dermal fillers because it is a stimulating agent that produces volume over time. I would recommend waiting at least 2 weeks after the dermal filler...
