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!
Im a 64-year-old woman, 510, 115 lbs, with a naturally slim face. In the past I had good results with filler, and a provider recommended Sculptra as a longer-term option. Over the course of 12 months, I had 3 sessions (2 vials each time total of 6 vials), all placed in the lower face/jawline only. No product was used in my cheeks, temples, or upper face. I was told that treating the lower face would help lift the whole face and cheeks. I dont look better. Ive since read that Sculptra is typically placed in the upper and mid-face first, and sessions are usually spaced closer together. Is lower face only over 12 months ever considered appropriate? Im just trying to understand whether this approach aligns with standard protocol. Id appreciate any insight.
Hi, I always had early aging due to probably estrogen issues that I didnt realize until I got diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 35. Since then I have been on estrogen blockers for the past three years, which have caused my face to look very very old. I do Botox for the crows feet and forehead, and I spend a lot of money on peptides retinol and all the vitamin C stuff. I have a lot of melasma out that I didnt have and I have vertical lip lines as you can see with creepy skin. Im feeling very depressed about this as Ive been told that theres not much I can do And Im only 38.
Ive now had 2 bbls the most recent being a revision. Im 8 weeks post op, starting to have the same concerns as my first round. Flat spots, no real volume or just overall roundness and fullness. Im also concerned with my back rolls & stomach. Stomach isnt flat and pokes. Ive spent over 20k and still not satisfied. Its disappointing when I see girls that have spent much less w perfect results. Would a 3rd round be helpful, different MD of course.
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 get Botox in forehead and crows feet however this is when I smile. 30's thin face, avid gym go'er. I've tried getting Botox to correct this area to no success. I also use tretinoin. I sleep on my right side and don't see that changing (Lol). I don't like the puffy filler look at ALL. So I'm curious as on what to do... or skin pen? I research a lot! Thx!
I need to get a booster shot for the hepatitis B vaccination. Do I need to wait any amount of time before/after the Hep B vaccination to get a Sculptra treatment in my face? Does it matter if I do the Sculptra or the vaccination first? Would it be better to do one before the other to avoid a longer waiting period? Or maybe there is no correlation between the two? If there is a correlation and one does affect the other, why? Thanks!
