  7. SCULPTRA WAS INJECTED...

Sculptra was injected through my mouth by my parotid gland over two years ago. I have mumps like swelling. Is this permanent?

Asked By:Disfiguredandscared in Fort Lauderdale, FL

I went to a board certified dermatologist and had a half vial of sculptra injected. My face has been slightly tender and swollen since with large hardened lymph nodes. What can I do and who should I see?
