Am I A Candidate For Sculptra at Young Age? I Have A Naturally Skinny Face I'd Like To Plump.

First,  discuss your facial appearance with trusted friends and family.  Make sure that others see the need for a "chubbier face." 

Then, if you still intend to pursue a treatment:

I would consider either Sculptra injections or fat injections, depending on the amount of volume that you need.  In fact, the two treatments may be complimentary over the long-term.  Keeping our face volumized is a maintenance issue, because as you age, you will then loose collagen and bone structure and will need to be re-injected to keep the volume.  Physicians love to treat patients that are pro-active about their ageing face because you can do a little every year to keep people looking natural and healthy.

Sculptra indeed builds brand new collagen in the areas of injection. This is very beneficial in younger people who show the earliest signs of aging, or were just born with some imbalance in their facial proportions (very common).

Sculptra has several distinct advantages over fat grafting:


Sculptra volume does does vary when your body fat fluctuates

Sculptra can be more precise than fat injections

Sculptra does not have the down time associated with fat grafting.


After correction, I find that maintenance treatments can be as few as once per year.
