Are there safer alternatives to Sculptra for subtle volume in face?

November 4, 2023
Asked By:alleykat in Seattle, Washington

I had 3 syringes of Juviderm XC in my mid face years ago, got overfilled, but loved the residual lift it gave to my cheeks for years to come. My face has lost a lot of volume recently. I was told at two places that I’d be a better candidate for Sculptra to not mess with my good bone structure than Voluma which’d make me too triangular looking. I’m very nervous about Sculptra since only 3/4 patients seem to like it and nodule formation is common. Is there a safer alternative for a subtle volume?
