I am 64. I have had conflicting recommendations. An ocular plastic surgeon recommended sculptra instead of fillers. An aesthetician said she uses sculptra but not on patients older than 60, as they do not have sufficient collagen to stimulate. Instead, she would use radiesse at temples and mid cheeks and belotero in upper lip and tear troughs. A dermatologist said she would do the same as the aesthetician bc she found sculptra to be unreliable. Why the conflicting recommendations re age?

If you are taking coumadin, you will have a greater risk of bleeding and bruising from your Sculptra treatment. As a result of the increased risk of bruising, you may also experience some more pain and this may make it challenging to massage the treated areas.
Sculptra is a wonderful product when used correctly. I would be a little wary of nodular formation in the arms or legs from Sculptra. I would consult a board certified plastic surgeon for a second opinion.
I can see what you are complaining about. I would try to dissolve the Belotero in this area with hyaluronidase. If you have no improvement, its probably due to poor placement of Sculptra and then you can't do much, other than try to camouflage the area with filler around it....
