I lost 50 pounds last year very quickly. I started to have thia sagging skin at my nasolabial area that hasnt tightened up, as soon doctors said it might. My dermotologist recommended Sculptra. But then when I got some consultations at places that offer Sculptra, one said that no, it wouldnt do anything for that. I thought the sagging as more nasolabial folds but it seemed at that location, the woman working there thought my volume loss was higher up in my cheeks, causing it to sag in that area, but the volume that needed to be restored to improve the area would be higher up the cheeks. (She explained this to me while recommending filllers for this) but she said Sculptra would not do this. Then why would my dermotologist specifically recommend this? Will Sculptra help or no?
I (38y/o fem) had two sessions of sculptra this year: The first one in may, one vial was used, and a second one in July, with a second vial. The treated areas were the mid face (my area of concern), parallel to the nasolabial folds and along my chin - which I was very concerned about, as I feared it would distort my shape. The injector told me it wouldnt. Now, 10 weeks post 2nd treatment my face just looks round with no contour and my jaw is huge. Im scared it wont stop growing. Help!
Im 29yrs old. I had two vials of Sculptra injected 3.5 months ago. Based on research Ive done, Ive had a vigorous reaction. My face has volumized significantly way more than desired. Im puffy and have very prominent nasolabial folds now that I didnt have prior. I know its non reversible, but Im desperate for anything that will remotely reverse this and even stop collagen to continue to produce. This has exponentially impacted my mental health. Please help! Thank you for your time!
I had 2 vials of sculptra 12wks ago. I lost 100lbs naturally 3yrs ago which resulted in more prominent nasolabial folds, however, I still had a full face. Just more definition. Sculptra has made my face so chubby, folds actually look worse, and my cheek definition is gone. Im 54 and 140lbs I dont think I could lose much more weight to fix this. My face looks like it did when I was 240lbs. Im so depressed. I know sculptra is not reversible, but is there anything I can do to slim my face?
I've done a lot of collagen inducing procedures such as lasers and peels. I'm considering sculptra but it almost seems like my issue might be jaw related? The area where the fold is dips in deeply, on one side more than the other.
I have a deep pocket of volume loss near or on my nasolabial area. There is also dimpling on one side of my mouth with random and shallower pockets of volume loss. I have used threads before and that seemed to help but only slight improvement, and went away fast. Should I try sculptra to contour and lift my mid to lower cheek area? Or other Hyaluronic acid filler? Or do threads again?
24F with TMJ and I have on deep fold in the nasolabial area only on one side of my face making it very uneven. I am considering Sculptra but think there may be another underlying issue, so I'm not sure it's right. The unevenness doesn't really look like wrinkles. The area between my cheek and upper lip has no volume. And when i feel the area, there is actually a separation in the muscle between my cheek and upper lip area. I'm concerned Sculptra is not right for this.
I had a bit more than half a Vial of Sculptra injected into both my nasolabial folds and have since experienced swelling, redness and burning pain in the area. My injector is a nurse and not a doctor, so I've been concerned about her management of this. We believe I've had an immune reaction to the product. The injector would like to use Saline solution to dissolve/remove the PLLA. My question is, will saline solution help or could it make matters worse by spreading the PLLA?
I turn 45 next month. I have noticed hollowing of my temples/cheeks/eyes & deepening of my NL folds & jaw wrinkles/lines. I look tired/harsh & I want to look refreshed. I am open to lasers, microneedling w/PRP, RF, liquid facelift, etc. I am scared of fillers bc of risks, pillow face, etc. Someone recommended sculptra to me & I just don't know much. I use dysport for forehead, 11s & crow's feet. Use tret micro .06% nightly for 11 mos.
