Well, hello, hello guys, you're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K., Secrets of a Plastic

Surgeon, and is time for a five-minute Friday.

Today's Five-Minute Friday is all about facial foundation building and one of my favorite products,

Sculptra or PolyL Lactic Acid.

I am so excited to harness the power of collagen biostimulators.

And Sculptra is one of my favorite products.

It's been around for virtually 15 to 20 years.

Super safe and proven efficacy.

I want every single client this year to start working on facial foundation building.

As we age, our skin loses hyluronic acid. That amazing molecule

that gives juicy, turgur, and plumpness and youthfulness to the skin, like baby skin,

we lose that. We become gradually more and more pruny. And how do we maintain that? Well, in some instances, we use gel fillers or hyaloronic fillers to plump areas where we want

fat pad volumization.

So in the lips where we want the fat pads of the lips to plump up, we'll use it in the

under eye areas for tear troughs, we'll use it in the softer parts of the face for nasalabial fold and marionette fillers.

But for large volume areas like the temples, like in front of the ears, the pre-orricular area, like the mouth downturns,

those areas are missing vast amounts of volume.

If you think about facial volume, I want you to visualize a ketchup packet because that's

a tiny amount of volume.

Did you know that's 10 cc's in a ketchup packet?

That would be 10 syringes.

So when people get worried about placing syringes in the face, we really should not have to worry
