I am 31 and very athletic but not underweight. I have tried fillers and I metabolize them very quickly. I do not want to dramatically change my appearance. I am very afraid of loosing my strong features and I have read many horror stories about fat transfers gone wrong.
Answer: Sculptra vs fat transfer vs ?? In my experience, Sculptra is usually going to create volume, but some individuals need more than others to create enough volume. If you've tried Sculptra, placed by a very experienced physician who knows the best techniques of injecting it, then another great and predictable option is Juvéderm Voluma. It can be very long-lasting after a full correction is done. Fat transfer is not likely to be less expensive, and its longevity is very unpredictable.

Answer: Fat Grafts vs. Sculptra: pros and cons Sculptra is a great way to soften harsh contours in a very lean face. Fat grafts also work well, but actually are not always a less expensive option. When I perform fat grafts, I always use a sterile operating room, and my patients are under twilight anesthesia. The fat graft procedure, when done properly, often results in significant bruising and swelling. Results from new techniques in fat grafting are more reliable than they used to be, and can last for many years. Most of my fat graft patients are in their mid forties and older, and the procedure is often done at the same time as a facelift or mini-facelift. Sculptra may be a better option for younger patients who need less rejuvenation and more of a gentle volume enhancement. Results from 3 Sculptra treatments (each done 4 to 6 weeks apart) can last up to 2 years. Many of my Sculptra patients like to return for a single booster treatment at about 1 year in order to maintain a great result.
