Pasadena Sculptra doctors

The best fillers for the temple area are Sculptra or fat.  The injection of either is safe as long as the surgeon is familiar with the temporal artery and facial nerve.  Sculptra needs to be done over several months and fat needs a minor surgical procedure.

True inflammation after Sculptra would be unusual.  However, some swelling and bruising would not be uncommon at all.  The  amount of this swelling/bruising could vary from time to time due to either the amount injected or just the simple bad luck of getting more bruising. It is common for an injector to use more product earlier and the same or less product over time as the collagen is restored. However, if your skin is tender and red I would recommend seeing the administering doctor immediately

I perform Sculptra injections frequently, and none of my patients have ever reported extreme pain.  Although pain is largely subjective, a certain level of discomfort, bruising and swelling is to be expected following any injection.  Topical numbing cream, ice & Extra Strength Tylenol may be used to alleviate post procedure discomfort.  So while there may be a risk of extreme pain, it is certainly not a common occurrence.
