Update to all following: Switching to Sculptra!

I did some reading up and seems like Sculptra is the next progression here for a longer lasting result, it lasts 2+ years and seeing as I am over 30 I would like a longer lasting solution to push back aging a bit more. It was recommended I add the Sculptra while Radiesse is still there so that the transition is gradual. I have my appointment scheduled for Mar 1st...let's hope it goes okay and there is no serious brusing :)

Some dr.s comments about my question:

How long after Radiesse should I wait to inject Sculptra at the same site?

"I think it would be fine for you to have Sculptra injected at any point now into the same area you had Radiesse in September of 2016. There is no interaction, but some of the effect you have from the Radiesse will begin to fade while the Sculptra gradually fills it.
Michael I. Echavez, MD"

"There shouldn't be any problems injecting Sculptra after Radiesse. There is no interaction between the two. Sculptra is a great filler for the right candidate. It provides gradual collagen stimulation and natural-appearing results. I have found that injecting Sculptra with a cannula in most facial areas greatly reduces the likelihood of bruising.

Good luck with the new filler. Let us know (and post some more before & after pics) how everything goes. Are you going to the same doctor or a different one?

You look great! You look much younger afterwards (not that you're old)-- Just that the procedure makes you have a more youthful appearance. Love your new hairdo, too! You'll look even better once the swelling has gone down. Nice to read your updates.

I appreciate the compliment! I agree makes me look at least five years younger....maybe can pass for 21 again ( but even before the treatment I had been carded two times this summer haha) ..maybe those people were just being nice before but usually after having the filler people do not believe I'm giong to be 31 this year!
