Sculptra and antibiotics?

685436Feb 7, 2020
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.

Once sculptra is in the skin the skin responds by producing collagen. If you are unhappy with the results, it will take 1-2 years for that specific area to subside. You can camouflage the are with other fillers or use sculptra around to make the area more contoured. I suggest you see an expert...
