Well, Sculptra worked!  No mistaking that fact. I have to go get a second treatment to augment the area I did not get injected, the tear troughs.  As you can see in this  photo I have these little "ditches" where no product was injected.  Although it took several weeks to show up, here I am at 3 months post-injection and pretty much at the amount of augmentation I will receive from my first treatment.  A second treatment will be required, plus I'd like to get some on my cheeks and nasolabials.

Pics 3 months after first treatment

My Second Sculptra Treatment
Dr. Humble was having a grand opening party for  her new office in La Segundo so we decided it was time for more Sculptra and Botox.  Los Angeles is about 3 1/2 hours away, just a day trip.  So off to Dr. Humble's we went.
