How can I prevent the delayed side effects of Sculptra?
Is there a way to remove a delayed side effect of Sculptra that I may be experiencing? It is like a grain of sand or medium size drive-way rocks under the thin skin of my right eye. Easily treatable, for sure, and 'occasionally' will go away on their own but don't, a year later.
These little sand like grains are just a wee bit painful 'everyday'. Is an under-eye bag lift by a very qualified surgeon, familiar with PLA the only real solution to this slight problem?

Thank you for your suggestions re: massage, saline and needling. All tried. No success. The grains, well, perhaps I under stated the problems. They aren't the grains mentioned in the pretty pink brochure. The three f.b.o.'s under my eye, which moved, they started on the side of my cheek bone, have gone done in size a wee bit in over a year, I also have a dark discoloration under my eye and the once smooth under-eye skin (I had) has a "Rhino" type texture. Any suggestions? Cover up concealer, just makes it worse, it cakes. Thanks Dr.
