Facial Lipoatrophy

Facial lipoatrophy, or facial fat loss, is characterized by lost volume, resulting in a marked hollowing of the face, causing sunken cheeks, bitemporal wasting, oral commissures, and deep nasolabial folds.^5,6

Sculptra® is intended for restoration and/or correction of the signs of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) in people with human immunodeficiency virus.¹

Sculptra® is injected into the skin for restoration and/or correction of the signs of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) in people with human immunodeficiency virus.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Sculptra® is contraindicated in those individuals who have shown a hypersensitivity to any of its components. Sculptra® should not be injected in areas with active skin infection or inflammation. Avoid injection into the blood vessels.

The most commonly observed adverse event was the delayed occurrence of subcutaneous papules, which were confined to the injection site and were typically palpable, asymptomatic, and non-visible. Visible nodules, with or without inflammation or dyspigmentation, have also been reported. Other adverse events include immediate and transient injection-related events such as bleeding from the injection site, discomfort, erythema or inflammation, ecchymosis, and edema.
