While Sculptra is FDA-approved for facial wrinkles and folds, there are specific considerations for using it around the mouth and lips:
- Indirect Improvement: Sculptra isn’t inject directly into the lips for augmentation. However, by restoring volume in the surrounding areas like the cheeks, it can indirectly improve the appearance of the lips and mouth area.
- Skilled Injector is Essential: The area around the mouth is complex and requires a highly skilled injector with a deep understanding of facial anatomy to avoid potential complications.
- Off-Label Use: Using Sculptra around the lips is often considered “off-label,” meaning it’s not a specifically FDA-approved use. Experienced practitioners may still utilize it strategically after careful patient assessment.
At AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills, your practitioner will determine if Sculptra is a safe and suitable option for your concerns around the mouth and lips.
