I am 70 years old and I've had two facelifts previously. My cheeks are sunken, as my skin is very thin. I am very healthy, but my cheeks look damaged. Is Sculptra for me? How many injections does it usually take, and how much does it cost?
Answer: Sculptra ideal for natural cheek augmentation I have found that Sculptra offers my patients equivalent and more consistent results for cheek augmentation when compared to fat injections even for patients in their 70's.Without seeing photos its difficult to judge how much Sculptra is needed. Most patients in their 70's require two vial treatments x 3 spaced 8 weeks apart. Results will last 2 plus years. Touch up usually 2 vials every 2 years is recommended. I have had patients come back 5 years later who failed to touch up their treatments who still had significant residual effects. Ran Y.

Answer: Sculptra for sunken cheeks Sculptra can work great for many patients. In general, younger patients require less Sculptra than older patients to achieve similar results. Most patients in their 70's would require at least 2 vials per session with 3-4 sessions to achieve the desired results. Prices will vary widely from one injector to another, and are usually priced per vial. At 2 vials per session, most injectors are going to be charging somewhere around $1500 per session or more. Always see an expert physician injector.

Answer: Sculptra for sunken cheeks The ideal spot for maximal benefits of Sculptra are the cheek hollows. I love it for any soft cheek volume loss, temple hollows, jawline definition and for the wrinkles on the upper chest. I would make one caveat to any 70 year old who comes in for volume correction. At age 70 you are no longer as good acollagen builder as you were in the sweet spot years of 25-55. I learned this lesson when I used Sculptra for the cheek hollows in a very vivacious, active 75 year old woman. After 6 vials we were scratching our heads as to why she had little or no response. The answer all depends on your ability to build collagen. You may be a better candidate for hyaluronics fillers such as Voluma, Restylane Lyft and Juvederm Ultra Plus..
