Does Sculptra Change Your Look Forever?

Thank you for your question. Sculptra is indicated for 25 months, sometimes it only lasts 12 months, for others it can go for 36 months.  I rarely see it lasting longer 36 months.  I would not anticipate seeing any significant product left after 36 months.  I hope this helps!

Sculptra will not change your look forever.  The effects will typically last 2-3 years, and your face should return to its pre-Sculptra state.  Your surgeon should be able to improve on the symmetry by injecting the less full side.  

The effects of Sculptra are not permanent, but rather long lasting.  Your original facial symmetry should return once the Sculptra diminishes.

Sculptra is not permanent but long lasting. I estimate that it can last 3 to 5 years. Once its collagen effect starts diminishing you should go back to your old facial symmetry. However, there is no reason to wait. If you can afford to do it, I would get a Sculptra injection on the side that is less prominent.

Hi Searching.  The collagen produced because of the Sculptra injections can last quite some time, on the order of 2 years or more.  With that said, if you do not do any more injections, your face will return to basically the same look you had prior to injections.

We always take before and after pictures because sometimes asymmetry exists before the treatment.  It's worth asking your injector to send you the photos.
