WORTH IT$4,800
I am avery thin guy and my face over the years had become hollow..Some due to age and some due to extensive meds i have took for health issues..I started researching Sculptra in 2016 and was very interested but at the same time a lil iffy as to if i wanted to take that step..In feb 2017 i decided that Yes i wanted and needed to do this for myself..I started talking to Doctors and patients to get their input and to the companies who make sculptra and decided that it was time..On July 25 2017 i went in for my first 2 vials..Right after treatment my face was swollen and after the numbing wore off a lil sore in about 5-7 days the swelling went down and i had my old face back;(Kinda disappointed but i knew that this would happen so i was just patient..after a few days i developed small lumps on my left side and was concerned altho i talked to my Dr and he assured me it was normal.So i just waited it out..about a month post treatment i had larger but not noticeable lumps and my Dr said this is how u know the sculptra is working So i was excited and just held in there..By my next treatment on Sept 14th 2017 i was very discouraged bc i had lil to no results..At my appointment b4 getting my next 2 vials my Dr told me not to worry that this was normal and Sculptra takes time..He said the first 2 vials are basically a waste and by the 2nd treatment i would notice more change..So he injected my next 2 vials..This infection was a lil different than the first and hurt just a bit more and made my eyes water and feel funny..But after i went home and rested for a few days i noticed that my face felt different..Yes the lumps were still there and maybe a lil noticeable now but nothing major..After a few weeks i could tell that my face was lifting and filling out and i was so excited..2Day is Dec 15th and even tho im still not completely where i wanna be,I am so happy i did this..My face is allot fuller and i have cheeks now;)lol I go in for hopefully 2 more vials in a few days on the 19th and i am so excited..Hopefully these next 2 will put me at my goal..Also i want to add that the price for scultra that i listed may not be exactly accurate i was listing the price for 6 vials and roughly around $800 per vial So many may not need this much to get the desired outcome..And also wanted to add that Dr Justin Harper @ Juvly performed my procedure and he is Fabulous..I appreciate him so much for helping me on this journey and having the insight he does..And also for taking the time to explain things 2 me:)..So if u ever think that there is no help and u will always feel less of who u truly are due to a situation like this..Stop?.. Because with Sculptra and Drs like Justin and his staff u can always get your life back..So check Sculptra out and Good Luck!

seems like the side effect of little bumps could be a HUGE Deal to some people..
December 21, 2017
Well at first they were bc i felt like they were very visible and not normal but with sculptra its actually normal and means the sculptra is working..Once the sculptra sets in more the bumps will b gone and as long as they arent noticeable its all good..

just throwing it out there, if the hollowing was related to a medical condition, it's possible insurance could cover it. there's one particular condition I'm thinking of, but it's possible it would be indicated in lipoatrophy of other things too

No insurance wouldnt cover it but i did get some assistance thru Galderma and im so thankful that they have assistance programs bc it has changed my life..Thanks for your comment

Thank u for your lovely comment and i am glad i took this step..Just remember if u decide to do sculptra that it is a process and it tales a lot of patience..I Started in July and im still going thru it and it is still building so i have patiently waited..But even tho i absolutely love my results i still have not reached my goals with sculptra so i am going in for HA fillers(Juvederm voluma)On the 8th So here in a few days;)But thank so much again for your comment..;)

It's true, you look just great, keep it going, we are so fortunate to have all these treatments available today, it's just a worry ...what's going on,on the inside ?? As the human body is the most complicated , I am amazed at what's possible, it's my pet subject, and I love to see the before and after results done...good luck and belated birthday wishes.

Great results! Did the little bumps go away?
January 1, 2018
Actually im glad u ask that bc that was gonna be my next post..The bumps did decrease as the sculptra built new collagen the bumps got allot better..Altho with this last treatment that i got it did form new bumps but my Dr.informed me that these bumps will decrease as well the more collagen builds and sculptra does its job..The bumps were never really that noticable and prob allot less than what i felt they were anyway..Im just very self conscious about stuff like that..But all in all this has been a great journey and im so glad i did it..Thank u so much for your comment..
December 31, 2017
Awesome! So happy for you!!!
January 1, 2018
What a fantastic result. You look amazing!
January 1, 2018
Thank u so very much..And the best part is that i feel amazing!I know that looks isnt everything and there are allot more important things in life but when u feel better and more secure about yourself,It makes a huge difference on how u live your life..And im so glad that we have these options..I was very unsociable and depressed for a long time and now i feel so good;)Thank u for your comment..~Always~B

January 2, 2018
It just keeps looking better. When we feel good about the way we look it really makes a difference. Will you stop at 6 vials as your last 2 will keep developing?
January 2, 2018
Thanks So much!I am gonna wait till march and then reevaluate and in the meantime keep up with my Micro needling and see where that gets me..I think thats a good window..im Hopeful that i wont beed anymore as far as sculptra due to my thin build..Im gonna update here in a few days..Again Thank u so much for your comments i look forward to them;-)
January 3, 2018
Thanks for sharing, your results look so great! Just curious, did you massage your face often after each procedure? I know this can be helpful in avoiding "bumps"
January 3, 2018
Thank u so much!And yes i did the 5x5x5 i even had my phone alarm set for every 3 hours so i would know when to massage lol..From what my Dr told me small granulomas are normal and thats how u know the sculptra is working..I still can feel small bumps but they arent noticable
January 4, 2018
Thank you so much, good to know and I like your setting alarm idea! Take care and happy new year!!
I have done 3 vials so far.
