Sculptra and antibiotics?

Question

I am having sculptra injected March 2nd. I will getting gluteal implants March 17th. I wanted to get the injections well before to prevent any bacteria from getting to my new implants. Will the strong antibiotics taken after March 17th stop the inflammatory process needed for collagen formation concerning Sculptra. I know Sculptra takes months to build collagen.

If the injection is in the face, it should be fine but if the injection in for gluteal area, I totally advise against it.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I am assuming the Scuptra injections you will be having are on your face since you mentioned you will be having gluteal implants after the injections.  Taking antibiotics after your gluteal implants should not affect the results of the Sculptra treatment.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Something does not make sense here. I can't imagine a plastic surgeon recommending both, gluteal implants and Sculptra. If you are undergoing Sculptra treatment, there is absolutely no need for gluteal implant. Please get your facts straight and discuss everything with your treating plastic surgeon. Good luck from New York City plastic surgery
