Hello, I had my 1st session with Sculptra and I am very concerned because everything I have read states that Sculptra should be mixed 72 hours prior to injection. The Doctor mixed it right then and there! Will this effect the outcome? and should I seek someone else as this doctor has already used incorrect fillers which did not work at all for the problem areas I have and now she states I probably need Sculptra. I feel like I am being taken for?
55 y.o.; 5'2, 110#. I have some fat and loose skin on my upper arms. I don't want brachioplasty, I'm not a candidate for short-scar arm lift, and if I were to get lipo now I don't have enough elasticity for the skin to retract after the reduction in volume. If I get sculptra in that fatty area, is it possible that it could bring back enough elasticity to be a candidate for arm lipo after about a year or so?
Hi- My face is long and narrow. Im concerned that using Sculptra across jawline makes my face look bottom heavy. I really wish to widen the back of jaw ( Like Brad Pittwishful thinking) then a filler for the rest, that will hopefully firm without thickening so much. My chin area has never been addressed with fillers and realizing Sculptra would be disastrous, could I use a filler to smooth out the creases and dimpling from age without adding volume? Im over 55.
Im 64 and had 4 vials of Sculptra a year ago in my cheekbones and jawline, effectively giving me a facelift, which I hate. I expect the 3rd treatment would have sorted the hollows I did want done, but then Id look even younger, so I dont want to risk anymore Sculptra. Will the collagen produced by sculptra take longer to go away than my own collagen? If so, I will end up stuck with the cheekbones and jaw and even hollower cheeks than I already have. And will the shape stay the same as all collagen on the face degrades at the same rate? Or will the Sculptra degrade first and my normal face shape come back? Will my face always look younger when the Sculptra has gone?
Im 64 and got 4 vials sculptra a year ago for hollows + saggy jowls due to weight loss. The experienced Dr extended my jaw. I thought Sculptra was subtle but I now have a square face + broad, sculptured jaw and I look like I've had a face lift and grind my teeth. And it did nothing for the hollows and saggy jowls. I'm so depressed. I hate how I look now. I don't want more sculptra. Can I get rid of it? I read it could last 5-7 years in the jaw. Is that correct? Most doctors say sculptra lasts 2 years, some 2-3, and a few say 5-7 years. What is your personal experience please of how long Sculptra lasts in someone age 63/64.? Thank you
At 63 I had 1.5 vials of lanluma 4 months ago and loved it. I had another 1.5 vials two days ago and am definitely over-filled. My lovely shaped face is round, chubby and I have chipmunk cheeks. I know this will be the end result as the swelling accurately showed the end result last time. I am so depressed I can't face a future with my face like this. Is there anything that can be done to prevent the further production of collagen? Steroids? I can't live like this. Please help.
I am 58 year old female in very good health. I am seeing the progression of the aging process and I am not sure which option is best to reduce early jowls, and add volume. I am concerned that Sculptra and skin tightening devices will create scar tissue under my skin making a facelift harder in the future. Any advice? Thanks in advance for your help.
