Sculptra, because I needed to see myself in the mirror again!

Sculptra rejuvenation

WORTH IT$1,400
In a period of about 2 years I lost about 15 lbs. I didn’t want to lose the weight, but I have an extremely active lifestyle, and had also gone through a few stressful times in the last few years. Being 45, my face didn’t bounce back from the weight loss like it had in the past. I looked like my face was deflating. Sculptra gave me my face back. I’m still quite thin, but my face does not look as gaunt. I am extremely happy with the results

I am wondering how many mls they put in your temples when they did them? I have had mine done 3 times with 2 mls each time. No results at all. I am thinking that they are under filling them?

They probably aren't! They should fill them to the point where they actually look a little over filled . And then in a couple of days your body will reabsorb so much of it. But if you don't even notice a big change on the first day when it's mixed with water.. in my opinion, something's not right!

Who was your doctor. I tried looking for dr Hess but there are multiple ones. Your results look fantastic!

I’m not sure about the exact amount that was put in my temples. Thank you so much for the positive feedback. Dr. Hess is truly a miracle worker. He’s located in Center City Philadelphia, and the office is Center City Dermatology:) I have an appointment May 8th, and I’ve been counting the days. I’ve used so many fillers, juvaderm etc., only to be crushed in 2 weeks time when the results wore off. Sculptra and Dr. Hess have done so much for my confidence. 45 feels a lot better, when you feel like the best version of yourself. It’s not even that I think I look younger, I feel like I look less haggard. Time can be a bit&@!

No offense. It’s just that all the other pics look great and normal except for the one where it looks like you’re purposely making ur face look weird. Why is that?

Sculptra is definitely giving me my face back!

My bruises are staying to heal, and I really have to say that after spending soooo much money on fillers that went away fast, and did basically nothing, I am so very happy With Sculptra. It’s rebuilding my face in a real way. I’m so excited and so happy.

thanks for your review. I had a medical biopsy which for some reason took all the volume out of my cheeks. I can't stand to go outside!!!!!!!!! you really helped
