How Does Sculptra Fade?

July 2, 2012
Asked By:ncanne

I had Sculptra approximately 16 months ago to try to reduce the 'jowel' look on either side of my mouth. I felt like the Dr. put too much into my cheek area rather than the cheekbone. I have noticed even now that my cheeks are very poochy - not a good look at all. When the Sculptra 'fades' - what does it actually do? Can it actually 'settle' into my cheeks?
