I've done a lot of collagen inducing procedures such as lasers and peels. I'm considering sculptra but it almost seems like my issue might be jaw related? The area where the fold is dips in deeply, on one side more than the other.
I have a deep pocket of volume loss near or on my nasolabial area. There is also dimpling on one side of my mouth with random and shallower pockets of volume loss. I have used threads before and that seemed to help but only slight improvement, and went away fast. Should I try sculptra to contour and lift my mid to lower cheek area? Or other Hyaluronic acid filler? Or do threads again?
24F with TMJ and I have on deep fold in the nasolabial area only on one side of my face making it very uneven. I am considering Sculptra but think there may be another underlying issue, so I'm not sure it's right. The unevenness doesn't really look like wrinkles. The area between my cheek and upper lip has no volume. And when i feel the area, there is actually a separation in the muscle between my cheek and upper lip area. I'm concerned Sculptra is not right for this.
I had a bit more than half a Vial of Sculptra injected into both my nasolabial folds and have since experienced swelling, redness and burning pain in the area. My injector is a nurse and not a doctor, so I've been concerned about her management of this. We believe I've had an immune reaction to the product. The injector would like to use Saline solution to dissolve/remove the PLLA. My question is, will saline solution help or could it make matters worse by spreading the PLLA?
I turn 45 next month. I have noticed hollowing of my temples/cheeks/eyes & deepening of my NL folds & jaw wrinkles/lines. I look tired/harsh & I want to look refreshed. I am open to lasers, microneedling w/PRP, RF, liquid facelift, etc. I am scared of fillers bc of risks, pillow face, etc. Someone recommended sculptra to me & I just don't know much. I use dysport for forehead, 11s & crow's feet. Use tret micro .06% nightly for 11 mos.
My temples are genetically sunken, especially when I smile (see photos) and I would like to fill them up. My nasolabial folds make a weird bump (see photos) rather than a deep wrinkle, so I was also wondering if there was a way to correct this and smooth them out. Although my concerns are not age related (i'm in my early 20s), I was interested in Sculptra for it's longer lasting effect. Would this still work even if i'm young? Or would an HA filler be more appropriate?
I'm 25 years old and I'd those folds years ago but this year I'm noticing them even more maybe due to stress and some health issues, so I was willing to plump this area a bit since it's not that deep so I was thinking about biostimulator if it might help.
My PS explained to me that my nasalabial lines were caused by hollow cheeks from years of hard cardio activities, causing some lower sagging. I had my cheeks treated with 1 vial Sculptra. Despite my PS explaining there would be initial swelling, I was concerned afterwards as I looked really 'filled'. A couple of days later I loved how it looked once it had gone down slightly. I know it's my first treatment, but I'd just like some more opinions? Is it possible to overdo Sculptra?
I was wondering if it is bad to massage sculptra if there are bruises in the injection areas and pain? What kind of pressure should I give? moderate? Light? It is in my NS folds, is there a technique to massage there? I've been massaging several times a day but not long intervals as it hurts.I tend to just press the ice pack there and move that around to massage it, is that sufficient? Will bruises get bigger massaging too much? Or fade quicker?
