Did your facial volume melt away like cotton candy?
Rapid weight loss is a massive victory for your health—until it takes your skin's structural support with it. Don't just fill the emptiness. Let's rebuild your natural collagen matrix.
How PLLA spins structural youth
It sounds crazy, but the science of "fluff" is actually the science of volume. Cotton candy spins sugar into an airy cloud. Sculptra uses PLLA microspheres the same way — a scaffold your own collagen wraps and rebuilds around.
Micro-Granular PLLA
Just like a machine spins simple sugar crystals around a cone to create a fluffy cloud, Sculptra places tiny PLLA microspheres as a scaffold beneath the skin.
Spinning & Fiber Extrusion
Your body's natural cells 'wrap' those microspheres in fresh collagen, building a new network that restores volume and structure to your face.
Only You, Left Behind
The PLLA eventually disappears — leaving only your own natural tissue behind. No filler sitting in your face. Just collagen you grew yourself.

Have you experienced significant or rapid weight loss in the last 12 months?
The scoop from our sweetest guests.
The women who've been in the chair, in their own words. Because nobody sells a surgeon like the women she already treats.
I finally look like a rested version of myself — not like I had 'work done.' Dr. Petro treats you like a whole face, not a checklist of syringes.
The difference between someone who understands facial anatomy and someone who just injects is night and day. I wish I'd started with a surgeon.
My cheeks aren't 'filled' — they're back. Six months in and people keep asking what changed. No one guesses.
Your scoop of collagen is waiting.

The science of fluff deserves a surgeon.
Cotton candy is the metaphor. The medicine behind it is serious — and who holds the needle matters as much as the product in it.
"I'm a facial plastic surgeon before I'm anything else — a needle in the wrong hand is still a needle. I only offer what I would put in my own mother, my sister, and myself.
