WORTH IT$5,200
After my last 6 vile sculptra treatment in october of 2011 i felt now year n half later that i was loosing the great amount of volume i had n 2012. Just yesterday march 1 2013 i had 1 vile for a touch up which i hope will bring back all the volume i had after my sixth treatment. I will post the results n 4 to 5 weeks. But overall sculptra was the best thing i have ever did for myself, it improved my apperance immensely.

I guess you mean "phial" rather than vile ;)

This question for Big Wil BIOTCH. Hi Big Wil, You might want to Find out if the Doctor is Injecting Sculptra too deep into your Dermis?
December 28, 2013
Also anything that speeds up your metabolism can affect your Sculptra like Smoking.

Also I would try to see another injector Specialist for better Results. Maybe the doctor isn't using all of the Product like they should.

Goodluck I had my second injection and in total I have got Vials or Phial Biotch

So 4 vials in 8 months 2 of which were the initial starting point back in June 2013

I made a appointment to have one more vile of sculptra to add to the other vile maintenance treatment. I thought u only need one vile for yearly maintenance treatment? Or is it some people need more viles for the maintenance treatment ? I do know one thing, if this next vile does not give me continuous volume my cheeks need then im done with sculptra! I cant afford this becuse i read u only need one vile for yearly maintenance to keep from going back to the way u looked before ur initial treatments! So far im so not happy! Right now my face lost all the volume it had earlier today!!! : (

I just now drank a glass of water and now after the volume gone 5 minutes ago the volume just now came back? My cheeks are filled back out again? Does anyone know whats going on???

Ive been having a few beers tonight and now my cheeks have more volume then earlier when i drank the water! I got to find out why im having this strange reaction with fluids i drink and the collagen sculptra created!
April 12, 2013
I have found that when i drink water continuously throughout the day my facial volume stays high, once i get home from work and stop all the water drinking my facial volume greatly reduces intill i drink more water.

Im currently sitting here at my derms office awaiting 2nd vile of sculptra. This is my yearly touch up treatment that is required to keep from going back to my original low facial volume. If this 2nd vile does not give me back the volume i had after my first 6 injections then i will not do sculptra anymore, its to expensive to be unhappy with the results im getting with this yearly touch up. I hope this second vile does the trick.

All went like usual injections swelling red face and now the 4 week waiting game.

For me the sculptra injections barely hurt. Doc said ur tough! U dont jerk or clinch ur face or nothing! To my surprise the doc said u have a good cheek pad and i can feel ur skin still has a decent amount of collagen. She said Wil i wouldnt do anymore vials for a long while cause if u get anymore ur face is really going to be over filled. I was surpised that she said that to me cause most Docs want ur money, she is a really honest doc that i really like and respect.

Westerville dermatology is the only place I will go. They have the highest values and ethics I have ever experienced anywhere.

Its been 9 months since my last 2 maintenance vials... Im so depressed i have lost all the collagen that the last 2 vials gave me which was somewhat less than what i had expected but was enough to satisfy me. My sunken cheeks and hollow eyes have me looking gaunt again. Friends are asking r u loosing weight? Have u been sick? I cant afford it but i miss my filled out face so bad im going to do what ever i have to do to come up with the 700.00 for another vile. I cant stand this sickly look that has come back to haunt me!

The second pic was me 1 day before yesterdays treatment. I am pleased with the results but decided my cheeks still look a little sunken so yesterday i got a fourth vile. Again im swollen n red but excited to see how much volume i get this time.

how is everything going with your sculptra lately?
September 6, 2014
I have seen some more volume from my 4th vile of Sculptra but not the amount i seen in 2011. I went in Aug 12 and had a 5th vile and hope that n 6-8 weeks i will achieve the volume n my cheeks i will be happy with.
September 6, 2014
I was told by the doctor that did my most recent Sculptra injection (my 5th vile) that now im 40 i would not see the amount of volume i got in 2011. Your body does not produce as much collagen as it did when i was 38. In 2011 i got 6 viles of Sculptra which produced a large amount of collagen that had my face filled out beautifully. She told me that i would have to have 7 or 8 viles to achieve that same result i got in 2011. I was so very surprised that being 2 years older since my 6 viles in 2011 i would not produce nearly the amount of collagen i did when i was 38. Unfortunately its a fact i have to face, so whatever amount of collagen i get out of this 5th vile it will have to satisfy since i cant afford the additional Sculptra viles.

Yeah take down my email for we can talk more about sculptra larrylee118@gmail.com. This email is to u Guy
Thank you so much for adding photos - it is so helpful to see the volume you gained from the Sculptra!
Please keep us posted how much volume comes back after the vial you just had injected. I'll be hoping you see great results! :)
Oh my gosh that is strange!! Maybe because its such new tissue its more sensitive to changes?? You will definitely have to let us know if that continues or if it fades away after a while.
Yes, definitely let us know how this vial goes for you. What did your injector say about the change in volume you were seeing when you were eating & drinking?
