After my first injection, I noticed some fullness in my lower face, but it was injected on cheeks only. Had 1 vial so far,but for a series of reasons (very bad reviews, bad attitude, office uncleanness, etc),I don’t want to return to the same PS. I'd like to continue the 2nd course of injection with a more experienced PS when the six weeks interim is over? How do you guys feel about seeing someone who had the 1st course of Sculptra done by another doctor?
Answer: Sculptra injections Thank you for your question. It is very important that you feel comfortable with your plastic surgeon, so if this is not the case, then you can continue your Sculptra injections with another plastic surgeon. I would make sure you see how experienced they are with Sculptra. I am a trainer for Sculptra and there are a wide range of experience with Sculptra out there.

Answer: Sculptra Sculptra is what we call a “biostimulatory” filler in that its main capability is to stimulate a collagen response in the skin which then fills in the treated areas over time. It is prepared as a liquid suspension and so although it doesn’t necessarily “travel”, it does spread from the site of injection via simple diffusion. There is no problem seeing another doctor to continue your treatments as long as that doctor is an experienced Sculptra user. Also, it’s usually best to bring your old medical records with you so that your new doctor has all the information he or she needs.

Answer: Can Sculptra create fullness in areas where it was not injected? When Sculptra is injected to treat a patient, it should be injected directly into the areas that need to be filled. It is possible, however, to have some temporary fullness in areas below the treated area due to swelling from the treatment. This does not mean that any filling effect would occur in these areas though. In regards to having your second treatment done by another physician, this should not be a problem.

Answer: Filler follow up I routinely evaluate and subsequently perform more filer injections for patients who have previously had filler. Six weeks is the minimum amount of time I like to perform subsequent treatment- clinically we see new collagen formation up to 8 weeks after a Sculptra treatment. Scultptra is one of my favorite fillers to inject- it is smooth, easy to inject, can go almost anywhere and is long acting. It improves the quality and texture of your skin as an added bonus!
