Should Extra Volume Still Be There 5 Days After Injections?

May 27, 2013
Asked By:citygrrl in New York, NY

I had 2 treatments of sculptra (1 vial each treatment). After 1st treatment very little difference. 6 wks later had 2nd treatment. Now 5 days later the extra volume has not really gone down. Should the volume still be there 5 days later? Will this continue to grow? I do NOT want this to continue to grow. This was supposed to be gradual and not show for a while. Told swelling would go down and grow slowly. I don’t want over full face. What should I do? Will this go down still? A little panicked.
