Why do some doctors only inject sculptra at the front of the face and not at the sides? Is it because this would involved superficial injections that would risk showing lumps if they formed?

Answer: Can Sculptra Be Injected Along the Lateral Side of the Face/cheeks?
Most definitely. In my opinion, and I have been injecting Sculptra for over 7 years, it is one of the best products for the lateral part of the face. This would include the large depression in front of the ears, in the hollow area lateral to the brow, and along the jaw line. Volumizing these areas helps reduce the jowls and helps tighten the neck. Regarding depth, Sculptra can be injected just beneath the dermis of the skin and is also effective when injected near the bone. The latter is indicated in the cheek bone area and the anterior jaw (called pre-jowl sulcus). As we age, we lose volume in the subcutaneous tissue, the thickness of the skin and in some of the facial bones. Sculptra is an excellent over-all vomumizer. It should not be injected in the lips or in the muscles around the eyes, as this may cause lumps.

Answer: Sculptra to sides of face
I commonly inject Sculptra in the lateral face, including the cheek in front of the ear. It is injected in the subcutaneous space in this area (below the skin, but not very deep). The great thing with Sculptra is that it is a dilute filler which enables treatment of large areas (not just individual wrinkles) to give a full cheek volumizing and lifting effect.
