Thank you for your question. For those individuals that do not have enough body fat for fat grafting to the buttock, sculptra may indeed be a viable alternative to fat. There is no downtime with sculptra,and in most cases it can be done in a office setting under local anesthesia. Please keep in mind that more than one session of injections may be necessary to provide the desired result. For minor dimpling and buttock creases and irregularities, 4 vials may correct the contouring issues and give the desired result. However for a more dramatic change in contour, 10 to 20 vials or more may be necessary to give a more noticeable result. MY suggestion to you would be to consult with someone who can give you an adequate assessment of your body fat and have one procedure or the other. You may want to start with sculptra injections for the convenience, and then decide to proceed with a full BBL. However, understand that you own fat is the "gold standard" for dramatic changes in buttock contour.
The answer to your question is yes. You can have thermismooth after fillers and surgery. Thermismooth will heat the tissues and have a tightening effect on the skin resulting in an improved appearance. In my practice, it is my preference to start with a series of thermismooth sessions prior to the eyelid surgery because the heated tissues with have improved blood flow , thus theoretically improve healing and minimize scarring. In this particular case, I would wait 3-4 months after the eyelid surgery for most of the swelling to subside before proceding with thermismooth.
Hello. The answer to your question is no. Fillers do not cause individuals to look older or age faster. They in fact, give support to the structures of the face and help prevent sagging. Nontheless, we have all seen individuals that have that "done" look, where over time there face can appear different, and in many cases distorted because of the over use and misuse of fillers. Care should be taken to find an injector who will be honest with you and not over inject when not indicated. Fillers delay the effects of aging; emphasis on the word "delay". At some point you may become a candidate for more aggressive treatment modalities.
