Sculptra Injections to Hip Dips & Butt - Definitely Worth It!

WORTH IT
This is my 2nd treatment I've done with Dr. Parikh. The 1st was fat transfer to breast a year ago and I love my results. I had such an amazing, seamless experience with Dr. Parikh and his staff and I trust him to do work on other parts of my body.
I had Sculptra Injections to Hip Dips & Butt with Dr. Parikh on Nov. 2, 2018. Treatment time was very quick and Dr. Parikh and the nurse are so knowledgeable, professional and personable.
Before we got started with the treatment, Dr. Parikh walked me through each step, what to expect and the nurse even held my hand during injections! I hate needles so much and have a very low pain tolerance but they were very comforting and supportive. The only pain I felt was the numbing injections (because I hate needles). Once the numbing kicks in, the actual Sculptra injections don't hurt at all, only feels like pressure. If you have an okay or high pain tolerance then you should be fine.
It has been 2 months since I went in for my session and for me, this treatment is definitely worth it. I've slowly seen the hip dips fill in and my upper/mid butt filling into a round shape. I'm getting the hourglass shape that I've always wanted.
Vials: 10 total. Breakdown of vial distribution:
2 vials to each hip dip (4 vials total).
3 vials to upper/mid butt (6 vials total).
Treatment:
1. Numbing injections at hips and butt. Wait a few minutes before injecting the sculptra.
2. Inject scupltra (only took about 5-7 minutes to inject it all) and massage for about 3-5 minutes after injection.
I love Dr. Parikh, he is simply the best! Patient comfort and goals are top of mind to Dr. Parikh and his staff and everyone cared about my aesthetic goals and educated me on what was realistic. Dr. Parikh has exceptional bedside manner/post procedure care as well. He will check in on me and see how everything is going after the procedure and answer any questions I have. Amazing! I really feel cared for.
If you're considering sculptra or other procedures, I would highly recommend reaching out to Dr. Parikh for a consultation. :)
