The Sculptra Procedure
Your Sculptra appointment at Maffi Plastic Surgery is personalized to your unique needs. After discussing your treatment plan, your provider will carefully administer Sculptra through a series of small injections into the targeted areas. The treatment typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. Most patients are able to return to their daily activities immediately after their session.
Recovery & Results for Sculptra
Recovery
Recovery after Sculptra is generally low-maintenance, with mild swelling or tenderness at the injection sites that resolves within a few days. We recommend massaging the treated areas as directed to support even collagen stimulation. It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for the first 24 hours to promote optimal outcomes.
Results
Sculptra results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen, typically becoming noticeable within six to twelve weeks after treatment. Improvements continue over several months, creating a subtle, natural enhancement of facial volume and skin texture. Results can last up to two years or more, and maintenance treatments can help extend your treatment benefits.

Contact UsWhat is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike dermal fillers that immediately add volume, Sculptra gradually improves skin thickness and structure, creating soft, natural-looking rejuvenation. It is commonly used to enhance the cheeks, temples, jawline, and lower face. At Maffi Plastic Surgery, your Sculptra treatment is customized to achieve a balanced and refreshed appearance.
Candidates for Sculptra
You may be a candidate for Sculptra if you have noticed facial volume loss, hollowing, or a gradual decrease in skin firmness with age. Sculptra is FDA-approved for healthy adults and is ideal for those seeking gradual and natural-looking improvements rather than immediate volume changes. During your consultation, we will assess your skin quality, facial structure, and aesthetic goals to determine if Sculptra is the right choice for you.
