When should a person start to use Sculptra? Is 30 too young?

Sculptra can be used to make very precise volume and contour changes. But it has to be injected within the perspective of the entire face. It's usually when a physician is only looking at a single "obvious" area and treating that area alone that you see the "fat" or chipmunk look.Your age is not a factor. Many young women who are thin tend to have some unwanted gauntness to their features. Sculptra fills with your own newly produced collagen and, when done properly, never looks unnatural.See the photos of the physician you are considering before making a decision. 

Thank you for your question. Sculptra has been used by people younger than 30 before. Sculptra proved
itself as a successful material especially effective in treating facial fat
loss.This unique filler is now applied
to the cosmetic surgery patient seeking facial rejuvenation.

Aging is often
described in analogy to a beach ball. The youthful face is full, round and
firm, like a fully inflated beach ball. As we age, the face loses volume and
deflates like a beach ball that has lost air and has withered. This loss of volume as we age is primarily a
result of losing facial fat and soft tissue. Sculptra is used to volumize or re-inflate the aging face to restore a
more youthful and full appearance.I am also attaching a video to demonstrate the steps you can take now to avoid skin problems down the road.

I suggest you consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon
to receive the highest quality knowledge, treatment, care and skill available.

A consultation provides you the opportunity to relay your
concerns and desired outcome to the surgeon while the surgeon can assess your
health profile and discuss his/her pertinent advice.

Thank you for your question. The photograph would definitely help to further assess whether you are a good candidate. However, based on your description, I do police culture would help you fill out your face so that you do not look as underweight. 

Age is not an issue, what is the issue is skin elasticity.  The better the skin elasticity the better the effect and outcome with sculptra.  Remember Sculptra was invented to help AIDS patient in the late 90's to restore facial volume loss from being so ill.  These patients were often even younger than 30 and did well from these treatments.  Have your surgeon take a look at you closely and help you decide if you are good candidate or not.ThanksDr VasishtSouth Shore Plastic Surgery

I tell all my patients to start young, it works to help build collage and contour, and it can maintain any of the cosmetic procedures you do like lasers and fillers. I have all my filler patients use Sculptra as their foundation.  Please only see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.
