From Nere1. At the suggestion of Dee, I am making this a 'sticky' post:
"Sculptra lasts about 2 years, sometimes longer. Yes you can get volume from it. However you need to figure out if you want soft volume or hard volume. Sculptra is a soft volumizer because it thickens the skin.
If you have enough fat in your face (but lack projection - ie flat cheek bones), then I would recommend hard volume like Radiesse or Voluma injected on the cheekbone. On the other hand if you have enough projection (ie pronounced cheekbones), but lack soft tissue (ie giving a skeletel look), then I would recommend a soft volume like Sculptra, or fat grafting.
If you are unsure, then I would recommend trying restylane (firm), or juvederm (softer than resty) to see if you like it first. And if it doesn't look good, then dissolve it with hyaluronadaise (sp?)."

Is it ok to respond to stickies? Cuz I saw a lady get Sculptra injected into the backs of her hands today on the "Dr. OZ" show. There was an immediate improvement in the softness, vein coverage and reduction of wrinkles in her hands. I was impressed! Has anyone gone this route yet? (Or, as I suspect, are y'all TOO YOUNG, with great looking hands?) Signed, Bony Claws

Hmm. So it looks like Restylane might be what I need to see if I can fix the assymytry of my cheekbones. A doctor once told me that my cheekbones are so assymetrical that any implants I get below the forehead would create bad results. My left cheekbone is fkatter and positioned differently, but I don't want anything permanent in case it doesn't work out.
