Question

I had SmartLipo in March and now I have bad dimpling and cellulite. Can Sculptra help the appearance?

Kimberly Butterwick, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and I am sorry you didn’t achieve the results you hoped with your procedure. There are some different options for treating the dimpling that was left behind from your lipo procedure. Sculptra is a good choice for cellulite and laxity of the arms. I also use hyper-diluted Radiesse of the arms to produce a good effect. I see in your photo more laxity and skin irregularity than cellulite. These treatments may help alone or in combination with a skin tightening device like Thermage or Ulthera. Make sure you work with a doctor that is experienced and board-certified in all these treatments. This expert should be able to personalize your treatment to your precise needs for the best possible results.

Hi thank you for your question.  I am sorry to hear about your bad experience.  I do not believe that sculptra would be the best treatment to achieve the results you are looking for.  There would be a much better result with diluted Radiesse for a smoothing effect all over.  It is best to have an in person consultation with a board certified injector to see how many syringes you would need.  I have also seen great results with radiofrequency devices such as Thermismooth.  Typically about 6 treatments of Thermismooth are needed in two week intervals.  Best of luck!

I am sorry to hear about your poor experience with Smart Lipo. Even though Sculptra can be used to fill such indentations, it is best to use autologous fat grafting which will provide you with permanent and natural results. Make sure you find a plastic surgeon who's well-versed in such procedures. Good luck from New York City
