I am a 25-year-old skinny girl who would like to have a chubbier face and therefore intend to have Sculptra injected. However, I heard that Sculptra helps to stimlate collegen rebuild instead of fat growth. I am afriad that my hollow face is not attributed to collegen loss and just because my face is born this way since my puberty. I wonder if Sculptra can help those who are genetically skinny to have a plumpy face.
Answer: Sculptra
I recommend that you first see a board certified facial plastic surgeon for an evaluation. You may be a good candidate for Sculptra.

Answer: Sculptra
Sculptra has a collagen stimulating effecton the deep tissues,so it increases the volume of where it is placed,usually close to the bone
The effect of Sculptra is usually gentle and onset is slow
In your case I think it is an excellent option

Answer: Sculptra for Any Age - Volume is Volume whether it's fat or collagen
The truly wonderful thing about Sculptra is that it does not discriminate as to age, reason for volume deficiency or skin type or color.
As to fat deficiency that is genetic, the volume replacement impact with Sculptra will give you similar results that you'd get from fat transfers. The entire premise of Sculptra from the beginning has been to restore volume lost as a result of what we call lipoatrophy (fat loss).
The initial FDA approval was for treating immuno-compromised patients who suffered from sometimes profound fat loss. The results were so staggering that it was almost immediately used "off label" cosmetically for those who had fat loss from aging or genetically low percentage body fat.
The really great thing for you is that young people have a vibrant "collagen" factory so it takes far less product to get to the end point you wish. I treat a lot of younger women with Sculptra, so a look at the gallery can give you an idea of how Sculptra can change the facial dynamics of younger patients.

Answer: Skinny face and Sculptra
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.

Answer: Scultptra Excels at Facial Balancing
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.
