How precise does Sculptra placement have to be?

Question

Being that Sculptra stimulates the growth of your own collagen, how precise does placement have to be? Does it require the same precision as a filler or is it more generalized? TIA.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

One has to be just as precise in administering Sculptra as they would with any other filler and perhaps even more so. The reason for that is there is scar tissue or what you called collagen that will form approximately 6 to 12 weeks after the initial injection and if improperly placed it will cause a lump in that region. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery

This product is injected into the dermal layer of skin! Avoid bony area and avoid deposit injection. It is best to be injected with a micro Cannula antegrade or retrograde when the product is warm and well mixed to avoid clumps or clogging of the cannula!
