Guest guest Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I spoke with someone from Dr. Mest's office about maybe getting some sculptra. It was relayed back to me that Dr. Mest didn't recommend having sculptra bec I have BA and PMMA already in my face. Any thoughts on this? no sculptra for me? I would gladly go back to Dr. Casavantes in Mexico, as there is no one better than him, I just thought if my insurance will pay for sculptra, why not give it a try. Seems like I'll just have to settle for PMMA with the always fabulous Dr. Casavantes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked through some of the messages on the topic but I did not come across information on current cost and if the Assistance programs are still in place. I am waiting to hear from the Sculptra people about their Access Program, but I also would like to get up to date info on any other assistance programs that might be available. My dermatologist wants $500.00 per session. PRH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 and JIm have shamed me into answering..For docs, i use Mark Illeman or Echavez (numbers avail if you can't google/bing them)Last shot from was $300 per vial if you don't do them together ($600 for two, Mark was similar if i remember) Sorry Jim, but i like sculptra. I've had three series, about 2001, 2005, 2011. Yes it goes away, but i've seen " permanent " which look worse than sculptra, and i've read here about problems with " sagging " and not being able to suck it out...  Some of the others are even more expensive. The patient access program at dermik is really very generous, probably no worse than any other pharma corp in the world. My last two times have been FREE and i don't consider myself poor. The first time was only $400 copay for EACH " kit " of " two vials. "  I think it still depends on your AGI (adjusted, not gross income, BIG difference).. It's definitely worth checking with the program, 866-310-7551, MF 9-5 eastern. ___________ Potrero HillSan Francisco Re: Sculptra, Fri Jul 13, 2012 7:14 am (PDT) .

If you go down the path of Sculptra, you're wasting your money. It doesn't last, and when they stop the patient assistance program, your wasting will come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 ,Yes I agreed with you about Sculptra that give me natural look. I don't want look like something foreign object shove in my cheeks. Sorry JB. I prefer stick with Sculptra but I have to find lower price on injection fee on Sculptra from doctor next touch - up appointment. My partner got over 12 vials at little cost plus no injection fee. because he covered with Veteran Affair benefit. How lucky he is. He look so good.
