Sculptra to outer thighs?

Question

Can sculptra create a contoured look to outer thighs to fix the edges created by botched lipo that has given me a sharp edge rather than rounded buttocks/thighs. I have no fat left to transfer. Also can sculptra give some volume back to my inner knees that were also aggressively lipo'd and now are hollow and hurt when I sleep in my side and both my knees touch. Anyone in Sydney skilled in sculptra to these body parts ? Oen to travelling to the US west coast if no Doctor here has the experience

I have been using Sculptra for many years to create more beautiful contours and curves on the face and body. It can be an excellent choice for filling in defects from poorly performed liposuction, although sometimes other treatments are preferred. Sculptra works by stimulating the skin to form its own collagen, so the benefits can last for up to two years. Using Sculptra on the body requires expertise, as it must be diluted and carefully placed  Sculptra usually has to be performed 3 times or more, one month apart, for optimal results. Try contacting Sculptra Aesthetics in your country for recommendations regarding local expert injections to get the beautiful and feminine contours you desire.

Sculptra can be used in the outer thighs for depressions and post liposuction deformity. I have used it and the patients have been happy with the improvements. You may need several treatments and multiple vials per side. Sculptra lasts about 2 years and need maintenance injections to keep the results. Good luck, Dr. ALDO

Thank you for sharing your question.  Sculptra can be used to help mask cellulite, indentations, and harsh angled areas in the body by encouraging growth of the patient's own collagen.  I would see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss the likelihood of a positive improvement.

Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear about the problems you had following your liposuction procedure. Sculptra Aesthetic is very versatile and can be used off-label on body areas including the arms, decollete, buttocks, thighs, and knees. It may take 2-4 sessions to correct the areas that you are concerned about. Be sure to seek out an injector experienced in the use of Sculptra Aesthetic on the body.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
