I had Sculptra injected under my eyes yesterday.  Is there anything I can do to ensure no bumps will form?  If they do, is therea way to get rid of them?

Hi,

I have been performing Sculptra injections for more than three years and the trickiest area to get good results is the area under the eyes.  In this area the Sculptra has to be diluted at least 1:10 and the injection has to be from a distance and has to be carefully placed beneath the orbicularis muscle. Very small volumes are used and massage is extremely important in this area. Quite often I will inject just to the rim of the orbit and roll the product upward into the lower eyelid.
