Can someone with ulcerative colitis and on Remicade get Sculptra asthetica in their cheeks?

Sculptra is injected locally and works locally, there are no reported systemic autoimmune conditions associated from this.  I have treated many patients with these types of conditions with sculptra, including HIV patients (for which they have severe immunodeficiency) without problem.  I have no problems doing this in my practice but I may not be the normal.  I do not feel this can harm you , but you should know the risks regardless.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There should be no issues here with Sculptra. I have found that patients on steroids likely need more Sculptra than usual. Best, DR. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Since sculptra works locally, I don't think there should be any problem. However, when you schedule an appointment for a consultation with either a board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist, make sure to tell them about your condition. Best, Dr. Nazarian

I would not want to be injecting collagen stimulating products into a patient who has any connective tissue disorder or systemic inflammatory disease.  There are no specific studies, but even in the package insert, Valeant acknowledges that 'safety and efficacy has not been studied in these conditions'.   This is where priorities need to be set.  As collagen building products are creating a foreign body reaction which results in collagen building reaction, I just don't feel that this is appropriate use when there are more serious underlying systemic conditions at play which could be exacerbated with such injections.  Have you considered fat transfer?

Best for you to personally read the contra indications in the Sculptra package. Than discuss with your injecting doc and GI doc...
