Edema or Product?

I had a sculptra touch up 2 days ago. The morning after my treatment I woke up with a 2 cm circular pocket of edema or product under my L eye medial to center of eye. When I pressed it it slowly deflated. I pressed against the orbital rim and downward. It made the crepitus sound as i pressed. My doctor does say he did work close to the orbital rim when I called and asked did I blow my nose? (No). It did not reoccur this morning so not edema ?? What can I expect and what is worse case scenario.

Crepitus after injection with Sculptra

While it's normal to have swelling 2 days after an injection with Sculptra, it's unusual to have any crepitus. I would follow up with your physician for an in person exam to rule out potential pathogenic causes such as infection.

Sculptra

It is normal to have some swelling after Sculptra treatment, however it is unusual to have the crepitus sound. I would highly recommend that you consult with your physician regarding your concerns.

Although I appreciate a reply to my question, if these physicians were concerned about development of gangrenous tissue, since it took a month to get a reply, I expect by now I would have been expired.
