Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 I joined this newsgroup a good while back when I was searching for information on facial fillers. The members have provided me with lots of information and tips. I hope I can provide some information that might help someone else in making their decision about getting treatment for their facial wasting. This is my first posting. I just read Ford's posting and his experience with PMMA. Looks like he has made an excellent choice. After doing my research, I chose a different route. I chose the Sculptra route. I got the Sculptra free through the patient access program so I'm only out the doctor's fees (I'm going to try to get my insurance company to re-imburse me for them). I had my first treatment yesterday. There was some pain and it was a little disconcerting to hear the cracking noises when he injected into my temples, but the pain was tolerable. When I got home, I couldn't help but smile when I looked in the mirror. I hadn't had cheeks in years. My face looked normal. If the end result of the Sculptra treatment(s) make my face look like it did yesterday, it will be worth the cost. I did not realize what a positive emotional impact seeing my face restored would bring. I was very apprehensive about getting Sculptra and did not even consider the other options which required leaving the country. But after getting a glimpse of what is possible for me, I am going to continue until I get my face restored. Hopefully the Sculptra will work for me. But if it doesn't, I'll get either PMMA or Bio-Alcamid. I intend to follow up and let everyone know about my progress. Currently at day two a fair amount of the liquid that was injected has been absorbed and my face is not as full as it was yesterday. In a few days I fully expect it to look as if it hasn't been treated and then to start to fill in gradually. I'm massaging the treated areas for five minutes five times per day for five days to prevent the nodules from forming. Yahoo! Autos. Looking for a sweet ride?
