Facial volume filled with Sculptra, at first I thought it was a good idea, now I don't

Sculptra Bad Idea

Sats
$800
I had a face lift & fat transfer in May. When the doctor tried to put fat in where the sculptra was he said it was really hard and I still get the lump by my chin now years later. I hate it, i don't know when it will ever go away! Stick with HA fillers. At least you can have them dissolved if you don't like it. Buyer beware.

Dr Cross was rated the top doc for fillers. She injects your face in a natural way, not too much and not too little. Very caring. Doesn't push anything on you. Knows what she's doing. Has a knack for facial sculpturing. She also does fraxel, had more results from her one treatment than all the other i had in 5 yrs. Her staff is amazing. Dana her receptionest gets back to you no matter what time you e mail or call.

update on sculptra

Sats
Well it's been almost 2 yrs since sculptra. I don't notice any difference, I did at first when I had it injected the 2nd time but now I
sometimes I feel a small bump inside my mouth by my jaw where the sculptra was put. It comes and goes. When I feel it I massage it down. Wouldn't get it again. Too long to wait for results, more expensive & might cause bad problems down the road. I'll sick to HA fillers from now on.

Frankly I think Sculptra is completely obsolete, very risky, and a terrible product. Why would someone want this when there is something like Juvederm Voluma now with equal longevity? Plus it is must safer and fully reversible. You get immediate results, so what you see is what you get. With sculptra you have to wait months to see the result and often times the voume created is unpredictable. Some people get a delayed reaction and their bodies start creating too much volume. There is nothing you can do to correct it but time. Also, would you really want to inject something where in the package insert, it says explicitly that it works through a "granulomatous reaction"? Sculptra is essentially causing intentional granulomas and scar tissue to create that volume.

Now i know that. I went to a reliable doctor. She used it all over her face & said it would help so I tried it. She said it lasted 2 yrs and was cheaper than getting other fillers. I wish i didn't get it after coming home and reading about it. I def didn't know that it could cause lumps or you can't get it out. I trust the doctor as usual. Bad idea.

I still love the doctor who did it since I didn't get the bad problems others have gotten and she was great filling my eyes. It's just the sculptra that I'm not fond of.
