Dr. Michael Stampar is a board certified plastic surgeon with his office located within Spago Day Spa and Medispa in Punta Gorda, Florida. He is well known as the expert in both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and teaches other plastic surgeons his painfree techniques worldwide.

Dr. Stampar explains, "Aging causes a gradual loss of soft tissue volume in the face resulting in flattening, softening, and eventual sagging of the skin. Soft tissues over high cheekbones flatten, eyes become "puffy" and tired looking, and the normal youthful rounded curves of the midface are replaced with lines, grooves, and hollows. Surgical procedures done without considering volume loss look smoother and tighter for a short time, but not younger!"

Dr. Stampar says, "To truly make someone look younger, at any age, the restoration of soft tissue volume loss is of paramount importance. The only exceptions are the full-faced individuals who may only need their volume resuspended to a more youthful height with a mini-lift."

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a suspension of poly-L-lactic acid particles, a stitch material we've used for years, which when placed deep in the skin, stimulate the immune system to metabolize them and lay down new collagen in the process. " It's like planting seeds to grow your own tissue back."

What is involved in the Sculptra treatment?

Each treatment session the facial contour is sculpted to the desired fullness and contour. The water carrier dissipates in days, but the newly distributed particles yield 25-50% of the final result over 4-8 weeks. Complete results may require 2-6 sessions depending on the amount of product used each session and the body's response to the product. Sculptra treatments give a true restoration of volume as a result of new collagen formation that has been observed to last longer than any "artificial" filler or fat. Sculptra is placed artistically in small amounts that allow accurate restoration regardless of the location, shape or severity of the soft tissue inadequacy.

Dr. Stampar summarizes his years of experience with making people look younger:

" Although a well performed facelift can take years off advanced aged faces, nothing restores or retains a person's prior natural, more youthful appearance like volume restoration does. Most of us age by "deflation and descent." The combination of non-surgical skin tightening and Sculptra volume restoration has allowed me to make my patients look younger at any age. After all, most of us just want to look a little more like we used to."
