About Sculptra Injectable Fillers

Many patients who have previously undergone anti-aging cosmetic surgery often supplement their results with injectable fillers. Others who only need slight enhancement seek facial rejuvenation specialists for injectable fillers, such as Sculptra, to lessen the signs of aging within minutes without a lengthy recovery period.

Sculptra is one of the top requested injectable fillers on the market today. It has been proven to lessen the signs of aging by as much as 80 percent. Sculptra is made of a synthetic Poly-L-lactic acid material that is commonly found in dissolvable stitches. The material increases the thickness of the skin, filling in skin folds, wrinkles and indentations.

Sculptra is one of the top requested injectable fillers for the treatment of skin folds, indentations in the chin, hollowed cheeks and sunken eyes.  In order to receive the full results, patients typically require three to six treatments, with the results lasting two years after the initial procedure.

Sculptra is performed like other injectable fillers. First, the plastic surgeon evaluates the patient to determine if he or she is a good candidate for the procedure. Next, the plastic surgeon identifies the appropriate amount of Sculptra and locates the ideal injection sites. Once the plastic surgeon is prepared, he or she gently administers Sculptra in the location sites underneath the dermis and subcutis layers of the skin. Following the procedure, the plastic surgeon may recommend patients apply an ice pack, as well as gently massage the area to ensure the even distribution of the material.

After the procedure is complete, patients can return to their daily activities. Many plastic surgeons recommend patients avoid sunlight for a few days immediately following the procedure. Some patients may experience redness and discomfort at the injection sites, which should subside within a few days.

Many Sculptra patients seek out additional facial enhancements, including Radiesse and Botox injections. Patients desiring a more dramatic rejuvenation often seek out the services of a skilled plastic surgery specialist. The surgeon can recommend certain procedures such as lip augmentation, facelift surgery or breast augmentation to help patients receive the body of their dreams.
