I asked my Dr for lip filler and he gave me some injections.... almost immediately after, I was like.. wow! they are big.... the swelling subsided a little but I was left with visable lumps (about 6 of them) around my upper and lower lips. I went back to show my lips and Dr was on long term leave, so I spoke with the nurse who looked at my notes and said that I had been injected with Sculptra and 13 months later, I still have the lumps although noticable still, not as bad. Are these permanent?
