WORTH IT$675
I had sculptra injected 6 weeks ago and in my 5 week i noticed my face filling out nicely,But now in my 6 week my face has lost all the collagen that sculptra created and my cheeks are back like they were in my 1 week. I dont understand i thought once your bodie started creating collagen you would have it for up to 2 years, I only had it for a few days. I am so disappointed!

Yes i called my doctor and left a message. I hope i will get to talk to her tommorow. I cant forget how excited i was last tuesday when my face was filling out so nicely. Now it is back to the old tired sunken look.. I am so very dissappointed!

Hi bigwil1,
Welcome to the Sculptra community. Hmm, I've not heard of it going away so quickly. Did you go back and ask your doctor happened? I wonder if it was slightly diluted. Also please feel free to post a question in our doctor Q&A. Please keep us updated.
Thanks so much for your review,

she said that it is becuse ive only had one treatment. its going to take 2 or 3 more treatments to get real noticeable results, So what is the keyword for sculptra...Patients!

Hi Bigwil
I just looked at your pictures and must say now the difference is really huge! Your face looks great and full! You look healthy and younger! Thanks for sharing!

I really can't see anything clearly from your photos. I can't believe you spent $4500 and think it was worth it. I am getting refirm for $150 per treatment and I do see results but it is very subtle and will share before and after when I get my photos organized.

When will the doctors answer my post? I ask them yesterday but have no response yet.

It sometimes takes a day or two for the question to get posted and then the doctors answer when they can. I will check it out for you.
Thanks,

If it gets too expensive just get it done in Tijuana, Mexico...IM note even kidding...its full of Americans who go down there to get all kinds of stuff done...I've been there many times and its worth checking out.

Jokes aside this is the worsed advice you can give a person! Sorry dont mean to be rude but if you want to mess with your face you want someone who is an expert in this area. Should things go wrong and you did it in Tijuana you want to chase the Doctor in Mexico for compensation? Seems to me very risky but then everybody is different so I think whatever makes one comfortable is ok.

Mirja I agree we have ALL heard horror stories about surgeries etc in Mexico, South America etc...I had a friend who went to Colombia to get "liquid" facelift...ended up with lumpy lopsided cheeks, amongst other issues...she had to have surgeon here do a facelift, try to remove the foreign substance and scarring, and her face has not been right since. :-(

Hi bigwil, you need to give it time. My surgeon told me at least six weeks to start noticing any difference. I actually had 4 treatments altogether over a period of about 5-6 months. After the first treatment you wouldn't have known I had anything done apart from the initial water, swelling which I was warned about. A year after completing my treatment I couldn't be happier, I get compliments all the time about how young I look.If you doctor is telling you 2-3 go with what they are telling you. My surgeon told me possibly 4-5 but after he did the 4th he said that was enough and he did not want my face to be overfilled.
