I am scheduled to have a rhinoplasty, brow lift, and blepharoplasty in 2 months . Is there any guidance against doing sculptra in my jaw/cheek area ~1.5 months prior? I was planning on doing microneedling and sculptra soon. I dont see any reason why these would interfere with surgery but just want to err on the side of caution.
Im 52 y/o and have some loss of fullness in my face and beginning of slight sagging around my mouth. Its subtle but i noticed it the past 2 years. Im bot ready for a facelift but may want one in 5-7 years. Ive read some scary posts on reddit about lumps or the face getting too full and scar tissue. Can someone give some insight on how well the procedure works on skin tightening and loss of volume in the face. Also what are the potential issues if i have rosacea and hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's) which is under control? Does the procedure complicate a future facelift. Id be having it done by my dermatologist whos been doing it for several years.
I had two vilas of sculptra back in May 2023 I can now feel scar tissue/Granulomas. Im seeing a dermatologist in August. Would you recommend steriod injections, I cant have them surgically removed, a I already had two nodules cut out?. Is there anyhting I can do on my end to getrid of them or does it just go away over time???.
Hello! I cannot seem to find information on the deposition or transport (I'm not sure the best terminology) related to the poly-l-lactic microspheres used in sculptra. For instance, what percentage stays where injected vs going into bloodstream? A separate question is, as it biodegrades, what form does it take as it is presumably degraded and then taken into the bloodstream and excreted? Thanks in advance! I'm looking for a talented sculptra injector.
I have a minor depression in the preauricular area on only one side of my face. 1.5cc of sculptra was injected into that area. The injector told me I need to come back 2 more times and inject 1.5cc each time. Is that amount the norm? Is it too much or too little? Also, I get bumps and scars when I get sutured. I read that sculptra is made of suture material. Does that mean I will get granulomas and nodules?
I had two rounds of Sculptra this year. In each Session one vial was used in the cheekbone, jawline and nasolabial area. After the first round I barely Saw a difference. Now Im 10 weeks post the second treatment and my face looks distorted. I cant smile because my face is too heavy and I look puffy. Could this still be edema or is it overfill. My injector unfortunately isnt helpful but rather defensive. She says there is nothing she can do for me and that this is probably the end result.
I am a 30 yr old female and received 5 vials of Sculptra over a 3 month period. I feel that I now have overcorrected results which have changed my face shape/smile. What are my options with overproduction of collagen from Sculptra treatments? Will phototherapy for Scleroderma help? Is there anything that will help lessen the volume? Thank you
Hi I am female mid 50s with just a touch of laxity in face and neck, would like to try sculptra but spent a long time struggling with overfullness from facial fat transfer. I have asked the practitioner to do one vial at a time so we can proceed really slowly but her advice is that it wont do anything that way. Does going lightly like this actually prevent the process working properly in the long run or just slow it down (which is my goal)? Many thanks!
