In most situations you can do this because Sculptra normally is injected below the skin and the other fillers are injected in the skin. In my clinic I tend to use the Sculptra in different areas then I would use the other dermal fillers. Some doctors inject Sculptra in all areas of the face. In the eye area (tear trough) I would be careful to inject Sculptra there if another filler is present because I would be concerned that the other filler mght cause the Sculptra product to clump which may lead to an eventual lump. In this situation, the dermal fillers and Sculptra are injected in he same area underneath the muscle.

I have concerns about bruising. Can Sculptra be injected with a microcannula? My doctor said this is not possible because Sculptra is viscous and therefore cannot be effectively released from a small needle. Is that true?
