While I was visiting the UK (I live in the US), I had Hyacorp MLF 1 filler injected into the indentations on my inner thighs. These indents were caused by receiving too many radiofrequency (RF) treatments. Unfortunately, the Hyacorp filler led to the formation of granulomasred, inflamed bumps that flare up intermittently. Ive been using Triamcinolone cream, which helps calm the inflammation when it flares, but the indents themselves havent improved. Im now considering Sculptra as an alternative, but Im worried it could also cause granulomas. I understand Hyacorp is hyaluronic acid-based and can be dissolved, but Sculptra cannot. That makes me hesitant. My questions are: Are some people more prone to developing granulomas from fillers? Given my reaction to Hyacorp, should I avoid Sculptra? If so, is there another injectable you would recommend that is both effective for volume loss and has a lower risk of granuloma formation?
Picture is AFTER 1cc of voluma. I had cheek implants years ago that really accentrated my pyriform hollowness. I also had a smas facelift that didn't address this as it's not a matter of sagging. And im only 28 What is best to treat this bothersome issue? Do i need another 1cc of voluma? I'm scared of increasing migration risk. I like the immediate-ness of bellafill - is that safe here? Does renuva actually work? Thank you!
I feel like my face is very downward facing and makes me look angry and unapproachable sometimes. Can sculptra give me more prominent cheekbones, jawline, and a more rejuvenated look? Ive had filler before and has migrated so am afraid to go back to that.
I've had fillers in the past but I stopped due to the fear of getting an occlusion. Is this also a possibility with sculptra? Furthermore, is there an antidote for sculptra like there is for hyaluronic acid fillers (hyaluronidase)?
I went for a consultation on sculptra and when i asked for before and after photos i was told their patients dont want anyone to know what theyve had done so they can't show me any photos. Is that right? I understand if patients don't want their before and afters posted on social media but why can't the clinicians show prospective patients their before and after photos? I thought it was a good question so I can see their work. Is this a normal reason or should I look for another provider? They're a pretty well respected and known clinic here where I live.
I had Sculptra about a year and a half ago. Around five months ago, I went to South Korea for liposuction after connecting with someone on RealSelf who told me about a doctor who could remove Sculptra using lipo. Now, Im dealing with the devastating aftermath of both the Sculptra and the liposuction. My face doesnt feel like mine anymore. I hate how I look, and it feels like Im losing myself. I dont know what to do. I need help.
Hi ive recently had a fat transfer(50cc) to my face and 3 months later I feel like it's super subtle on my cheekbones suddenly, despite taking 1g of vit c nightly, red light mask 2x/wk, having a stable weight. It was the Beautifill machine too, which is all live fat. Sculptra took beautifully in my temples and arouhd my mouth, but its barely noticeable when i use it for my lateral cheeks. What are my options here? Bellafill and renuva are very costly per cc. I had a medical condition where i can only sleep 5hrs some days, idk if thats affecting anything. Im a young person too btw
