What’s your biggest feat when it comes to getting Sculptra? Let’s talk about it below 👇 Have you ever regretted an aesthetic treatment? What made you regret it? What worries you the most? Getting a pillow face? Are you afraid because you cannot reverse Sculptra? Do you trust your injector to know what’s best for your face and where to treat? Is fear of a bad outcome stopping you from getting the look you want?

[@NaturalInjector]

@ Thanks great to know it worked well for your temples. The jowls are tricky and usually have to be addressed from multiple areas of the face. I like filler to the marionette lines, used sparingly but I think filler is important in the lower face area. Thanks for sharing!

[@ScubaAspen]

my np says they do juvederm only bc sculptra is newer and not as known? is this TRUE?

[@NaturalInjector]

@ Our first hyaluronic acid filler was approved in 2004. Sculptra was approved for cosmetic use in 2009. It’s not as popular as fillers but it’s gaining popularity and has been out for quite awhile. Your NP may just not be as familiar with Sculptra

I saw those same posts on Real Self and I was like whattt?? I have also seen them on KZbin. Thanks for your explanation about it Emily!

[@The_Viking_Highlander]

Hi Emily. I had my first Sculptra treatment today. My practitioner is an MD with vast qualifications, training and experience in aesthetics. He's also a lovely guy too. To start he dissolved the 12 year old upper lip filler that had migrated and looked lumpy and asymmetric. The hyaluonidase was a bit stingy whilst being injected, but tolerable. Whereas, the Sculptra treatment was completely painless, I only felt the initial local anesthetic injections. He treated my temples, submalar hollows, preauricular areas, marionette areas, depressions around the chin, prejowls and submental. He also treated small pockets of fat under the eyes, jowls and behind the inner knees with Kybella. It's been a few hours since the treatments and my face looks fine. The no redness apart from the start of some slight bruising at the injection sites. The 12 year old lip filler seems to have completely dissolved, and how wonderful it feels. Only the areas treated with Kybella are moderately swollen and feel like pockets of fluid. I've been massaging for 5 mins each time, only twice so far, but Dr Thomas reiterated the three 5s rule; massage 5 times a day for 5 minutes a time, for 5 days. All in all, I'm pleasantly surprised, extremely pleased, and have butterflies of excitement for the potential outcome over the next few months. Next session in 6 weeks when he'll be treating the same areas as today, but next time including Sculptra to the upper abdomen, and also introducing a treatment of hyper dillute Radiese to my neck and possibly around the mouth. I'm also hoping to have my lips re-filled, albeit much more naturally this time. How are you? Do you find that you get busier towards the holiday season? All the best Anna

[@NaturalInjector]

@@The_Viking_Highlander Hi Anna. Thank you so much for sharing your story and what you had done. That’s quite a lot to have been done in one session! I have heard of Kybella being used around the jowl but not under the eyes! How do your under eyes look? That’s great that you also got your submental area and your abs! I think those are important areas to treat. I’m good thanks for asking. It tends to get busier now yes. 😊

[@The_Viking_Highlander]

@@NaturalInjector Why do you think it's a lot to have done in one session? Does it matter as long as the patient is comfortable? I certainly feel and look fine. Just some slight bruising at the injection sites and a little puffy swelling in the areas treated with a very small amount of Kybella. The undereyes look and feel fine too. Just a bit puffy and swollen like the jowls. I've been advised to do gentle effleurage type lymphatic drainage after massaging the areas treated with Sculptra. My face did look quite strange this morning, but all the puffiness settled within an hour or so after massage and lymph drainage. My case is slightly unique in that the practitioner is treating a face that suffered a serious trauma injury 4 years ago, then I had to have my right infraorbital rim, zygoma and mandible reconstructed surgically 3 times. During the final reconstructive surgery some fat was also transferred to some areas of depression and irregularity, including to the right infraorbital rim that became lumpy and uneven in appearance afterwards. So, that's why Dr Thomas injected a little Kybella in a couple of random lumps of transferred fat under my right eye. I really didn't want to have any more surgery and have been assured that these non-surgical treatments and techniques will help provide an improvement without the need to go under the knife again. 3 times was enough for me.

[@The_Viking_Highlander]

@@NaturalInjector The addition of the hyaluronidase to dissolve my 12 year old migrated lip filler was an additional treatment I had specifically asked the Dr to perform. He said that provided I felt okay, (and I did) it will be fine. Honestly, compared to the injury, trauma and reconstructive surgeries, yesterdays treatments felt like a trip to the spa!

[@NaturalInjector]

@ ahhh ok I see. It’s just that Sculptra needs to get massaged and that’s a lot of injections itself and then the added Kybella injections which you probably do not need to massage. Thanks for sharing your story. Hope the Sculptra helps with everything.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@The_Viking_Highlander Yes I’m sure that’s fine to do the same session because you can’t put Sculptra or Kybella to that area 👍. Glad you got it dissolved

[@monicastraub3372]

Shes right! I've been getting ot for a few years. I definitely do not even look filled. I just look more normal than before my first initial 7 vials spread out within 1 year. I now just get maintenance treatments. I was very quant. I look healthier now. That's it. i exercise a lot, and i am now 49 years old. Lot of fear mongering on the internet!

@@monicastraub3372 Thanks so much for sharing! Yes I don’t think Sculptra would make anyone look unnatural, unless placed in areas it should not be like the under eyes.. Yes a lot of fear mongering for sure. 👍

[@onlychimerically]

Hi! Can you look at Dr. Abs video on sculptra (he has a couple disparaging ones...) and discuss it? I was certain and now I'm very much on the fence when it comes to sculptra due to fibrosis

[@kdub10009]

I’ve had fantastic results from two vials of sculptra with zero issues (just make sure to follow the aftercare instructions and do the massaging that’s required to prevent nodules). I’m 50 years old and am routinely mistaken for being in my early 30’s or even sometimes late 20’s depending on the lighting. My main issue was hollowness in my lower cheeks.

[@Ana_D125]

Thank you, Emily! I love Sculptra! However, my left side responded better than my right side, although the same amount of vials was injected. It is subtle but I can definitely see the difference. Should I just use more treatments on my right side?

[@NaturalInjector]

@@Ana_D125 sometimes that happens and it could be because your left side doesn’t have as much to correct as the right side. I can’t really give advice as far as more treatment without knowing more. I do offer virtual consults it that’s helpful but I would follow up with your injector

Like she says the only possible downside is that you end up wishing you had more noticeable results. It's never going to give you a bloated face... It's just a stimulant for the skin in water... After you've had it done it dissipates into nothing. Then gradually some stimulation of real skin will happen. And hopefully enough to notice an improvement. I've been doing sculpture for myself and clients for years now. Alongside other newer biostimulators it is the way forward in skin rejuvenation.

I had RADIESSE 2 times about 3 years ago. My face still amazing and glowing

[@tellingthetruthforpeace]

Hi Emily. I am one of the unhappy Sculptra people. I am 105 pounds and my family genetics tend toward a thin face. A couple of years after Sculptra (yes, it DOES take awhile to fully bloom) I really felt like I had "fat face." I didn't feel consistent with my family's facial type anymore. It has abated, as its now been several years. I honestly think that 1 vial - period - would do it for me. I don't need two sessions. But I'm not sure that I like the Sculptra effect. I like the process theoretically, but it just didn't look right on me.

[@Margaret-t9y]

Enzymes disolve native tissues as well so they can be used to slim down face that was overdone with sculptra or permament filler

[@margaret_rejnowska]

The issue for those people complaining might be, that they are inpatient and overdone Scultra. At 50 I have done one vial of Sculptra injection + fat transfer and started seeing great results four months after the procedure.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@margaret_rejnowska Thanks for your comment. Yes it takes time to notice the results 👍. Interesting, yours took 4 months for you to notice

[@margaret_rejnowska]

@@NaturalInjector That's probably bc I didn't take pictures before and after. I just realised one day that my face looks very rejuvenated in texture and volume. What would you recommend for loose skin on thighs, Prophilo maybe? I lost 30lb last year and when I do downer dog yoga pose the view of of the skin above the knees makes me sad.

[@stuartist]

Could it be an immune response in some people that causes their puffiness? I know my cousin had an immune response to an IUD and developed inflammation and fibromyalgia like symptoms. Everything resolved once it was removed. You also hear about some people having a reaction to implants.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@stuartist Yes I have definitely heard of ppl having reactions to implants but never heard about the type of reaction stated from Sculptra. Thanks for your comment!

[@fatoumfatoumeh]

Can I get Sculptra 8 months after getting hyaluronic acid filler (in the same areas) ? I figured that would be ideal, since the HA filler is starting to fade anyway, and the Sculptra will start to plump up the areas by the time the HA filler goes away. The HA doesn’t look unnatural on me, as it’s injected strategically in the temples, a little in the cheek hollows and sides of the face, pyriform, around the chin and prejowl, and it was my first time getting filler…eventhough I love the results, I don’t want to do it again and prefer a more natural option like Sculptra. I really don’t want to wait until the HA filler goes away because I’m loving my new face and want to maintain my look.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@fatoumfatoumeh You can discuss it with your provider but I would have no issue with this.

[@BalU-bk1ii]

Im a huge sculptra fan. Im appalled by that there is minimal regulation around how some of these professional clinics and/or Docs label sculptra. It's a stimulant, and it is completely based on how it's mixed, technique by the injector, and then the aftercare. I see plastic surgeons somehow loop sculptra into fillers on youtube, but then they go do facelifts on people who lack collagen, and they look like aliens with stretched skin. And they are proud of their work ? It would be best to work on the skin so it thickens with sculptra. And then maybe a year down the road do a facelift, so the person looks natural. Thank you, Emily, for all the information and politely combating the misinformation.

[@mariacardaropoli90]

Love sculptra !! I’ve been doing yearly for the last 3 years, it’s my secret lol question thinking if a fraxel how long do you wait if you just had sculptra? ❤❤

[@petvuk]

I did Sculptra 11 weeks ago and i notice negative changes last 2 weeks, like it dragged my face down, i got it only in temple area and scalp and sides of face, but i really notice drastic unusual chnage last weeks.... i am disappointed, i have researched so much and trusted those advices... it somehow dragged my jowls more down than up. if you want i-ll send you my photos to see what i am talking about, i got monkey face it makes my nasolabial worse and jowls, maybe too much volume added to side of face it is still dragging it down

[@NaturalInjector]

@@petvuk Thanks for sharing. Did you get it 2 weeks ago? I would follow up with your provider because I have never had or heard of any negative changes to the face from treating the temples. The temples are such an important area to treat, especially for lifting effects

[@petvuk]

@NaturalInjector ,11 weeks ago and i notice changes last 2-3 weeks that scare me

[@petvuk]

​ @NaturalInjector no the bad change seems to be in the area of nasolabials and mouth, so like lower face... i think the added volume drags the upper face down too

[@NaturalInjector]

@ I would follow up with your provider to compare your pictures

[@NaturalInjector]

@ Did you gain weight by chance?

[@Glossyvixen]

There is a such thing as injectors doing your lower face when maybe it doesn’t make sense to do that though. I wish I had left when my injector refused to just do my temples and upper face.

[@constancegabriel-haevecker5912]

I had some runner's face and I've had 3 vials of Sculptra. I cannot say that I am overly impressed with the results. Maybe it's to do with the fact that I wasn't as lean as before, when I got the first dose anyway and have since put on around 5 more kilos, which fill out my face even more, having a round face to start with. So I am not able to see any clear results. Or maybe 3 vials just wasn't enough for my face as I am over 40 (even though I aged well). Laxity around my submental area and nasolabial area have not improved i.e. I am unable to see a structural improvement. On a side note: it seems unusual practice here in Germany to inject near the mouth/nasolabial area and isn't usually done, same with the temple region. Sculptra here seems to be placed only/most commonly in the upper and lower cheek areas. I had one injection to the temple upon request and none to the nasolabial area. (Reason given was that the material of 1 vial/2 max. will be divided between the treated areas, so there is only so much you can do with it.) I might go for a 4th vial once I have shed some weight and hopefully see a noticeable result.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@constancegabriel-haevecker5912 yes if you put on 5 kilos then it could be harder to assess the improvement because gaining weight will add fat to the face. I had runners face before I started Sculptra too. If you are over 40 and have runners face you likely need at least 4-5 vials. Thank you for sharing your story! Weight is an important factor to note.

[@constancegabriel-haevecker5912]

@@NaturalInjector Thank you so much for taking your time to reply and always providing such valuable information on Sculptra and other treatments. It has helped me a lot in making informed decisions and speaking to my providers on an eye-to-eye level. Will I still be able to see the results from Sculptra after losing weight or will losing weight/fluctuating weight also affect the amount of collagen? (probably a stupid question) Will any Sculptra treatment I might get even though I haven't 'leaned out' as much as before still get a comparable result if I then lean out some more afterwards or is there kind of an 'end-point' of collagen stimulation in relation to the amount of facial fat still present i.e. will my body produce less collagen because of space limitations in the face when that space is instead filled with fat?

[@nikki.m.7724]

What are your thoughts on doing Sculptra on someone overweight but older. My injector said I don’t need Sculptra because I’m not losing volume but would Sculptra not create collagen to help hold up the volume as we age?

[@stephaniepond5650]

Nah sculptra def gets overdone and makes people's faces look fat. Seen it.

[@HealthWealth-sy2jq]

Girl, it’s true! I am dealing with this. My first vials looked alright because of my gaunt face, but looking at some photos I do look a bit pillowy and chubby. However, I was happy at the time because like I said my face was quite gaunt. Fast forward 2 years later, my injector decided another vial of sculptra to maintain results. Bad idea. My face blew up and is super round. I liked having volume but not to the extent that I lose having cheekbones. I also think it makes my lower face heavy. Anyway, I literally had to lose 5 lbs to try to make my face less fat. It’s really annoying. I don’t think I’ll do sculptra again.

[@stephaniepond5650]

@HealthWealth-sy2jq yea it last for very long time and at end of day it is a plastic. Same as a medical sucher ...maybe rf microneedling around the areas with excess fat would help melt fat?

[@HealthWealth-sy2jq]

I should also mention, I weighed less the last time I got injected with sculptra compared to the first time. So my chubby face was definitely sculptra related.

[@HealthWealth-sy2jq]

@stephaniepond5650 yes, it lasts super long. It sucks when it is overdone or unhappy with results. I had no idea it was plastic either. Interestingly enough I had the same question about rf microneedling and asked another dr on KZbin Dr. Rajani. He said rf will not dissolve sculptra which I get, but he didn’t mention the fat part. I’d probably have to consult in person to see if that’s an appropriate choice for my face. I’m a bit scared with procedures these days, I wonder if it even worth it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Do you think it could be a natural response when gaining weight after Sculptra to get an extra boost of fat growth due to the Sculptra? I don’t know if I’m explaining that well enough. Like you start gaining fat back in your face due to weight gain but now because you have Sculptra, it’s Sculptra on steroids.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@beautyandaging Yes I think it’s possible! Great question. There was a small very recent study done that showed that the fat layer increased by around 27% or something like that after Sculptra. The reason behind why they think this may happen is because the fibroblasts, the cells that make collagen & elastin, communicate better with the adipocytes after Sculptra, the cells that make fat. That’s the theory behind why it could possibly happen. I discussed this in my last video before this one, (Sculptra Facelift) and linked to that study in the description of the video.

[@raghad758]

Is it a good idea to regain weight in order to improve the look of the sagging cheeks if the sagging is mild ? and if I lost weight for any reason in a healthy slowly way would that make them looks better?

[@biljam972]

My problem is why is Sculptra not allowed for use in many European countries, including mine? I wanted to try it but there is nowhere to get it.

You should learn from Dr. Abs in London. You won't think Sculptra is a great product anymore.

[@lifebelle5430]

sculptra makes you produce bad collagen looking like collagen bolus and not organised fibers attaching the skin closed to the bone ; hence irreversibly stretching the skin, making it harder, heavier and with time more sagging with gravity like seen in the disease scleroderma. your body would have never produce such a bad collagen without the inflammatroy injury from sculptra. so no this collagen is not natural exactly like comparing own hyaluronic acid and the one from filler. there is no difference between sculptra and HA filler all is unnatural and produce only volume.

How can you produce bad collagen? Sculptra stimulates your body to produce more collagen; how can your own body produce bad collagen? That makes no sense. Most of the procedures done to our skin stimulate our body to produce collagen. What you wrote doesn't make any sense.
