Asymmetrical Face After Sculptra 2 Vials Total 6 Wks Apart?

Had consultation with Estheticians for Sculptra. The doctor performed sculptra injection 2 vial total 6wks apart (1 vial each visit). Had 6 wk follow up, did not notice any changes until the doctor pointed out that my face was asymmetrical and would need 1 more vial of sculptra on the right side of my face. Please advise on how to move forward to create more symmetry as well as hollow under eyes. Last sculptra injection was December 14, 2012. Photos after f/u appt. Thanks Viola.

In order to achieve this, sometimes more Sculptra would need to be placed on one side more than the other.
