Sculptra for men. Is there a risk of feminizing the face?

Yes,
it is possible to feminize a male face with Sculptra injections if
the practitioner isn't knowledgeable and skilled in the difference
between male and female facial anatomy and aesthetics. This is why it
is so important to spend time researching and finding the absolute
best board-certified dermatologist for any cosmetic procedure. At our
clinic in San Diego, we treat many male patients with Sculptra. They
often travel great distances to work with us, as we have extensive
experience and offer a great variety of treatments for our patients.
Male faces do very well with Sculptra placed properly. A healthy,
handsome masculine appearance is definitely achievable. Please find a
board-certified dermatologist that you can work with over the long
term. Looking good is about more than just one procedure; it's about
taking care of your skin and adjusting to changing needs over time. 

In the right hands, well-placed Sculptra will give you great results without feminizing your face. Keep in mind, it takes 3-6 months to see results with Sculptra. Sculptra is a great product for improving facial volume and collagen building, but for best results, I recommend using it in a combination depending on desired results. I combine Sculptra with other fillers, lasers, toxins and skin care to give immediate results. Cost will vary. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. I use sculptra in male patients on a daily basis. The injection technique for men versus women is very different. Novice injectors of sculptra may put you at risk for a feminized face. Ask to see before and after photographs of other male patients to see examples.

A male can be feminized with any of a number of different products-but it isn't the product-it's the injector!  Injectables are all used differently in the male face compared to a female face.  You need to find an experienced board certified injector to discuss your objectives.  Good Luck 

Thank you for your question.  Sculptra is one of my favorite fillers for my male patients because the results are subtle and gradually build over the course of several weeks after each treatment.  Please keep in mind that many patients often need a series 2-3 Sculptra treatments for best results.  That said, if placed improperly, any filler can feminize the face, so I recommend seeing a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon with extensive experience in treating male patients.  Prices for Sculptra vary depending on the expertise and qualifications of your injector, the amount of Sculptra being used, and the geographic location of the clinic.  I hope this helps!

This is a great question. I learned to do Sculptra in a clinic where most of the patients were men. Yes, the placement of fillers is different in men vs women. That is true of any filler, not just Sculptra. Find a board certified Dermatologist in your area. There are some real experts in Toronto so you should have no problem. Hope this helps you,Dr Beverly Johnson
