Can Sculptra After 2 Weeks Be Further Diluted and Massaged into Other Areas?

I have recieved too much sculptra in the jaw 2 weeks ago, which makes my face very wide and masculine, while the hollows above in my cheeks are even more accentuated. The jaw is now wider than my cheeks, it looks horrible. Its 2 weeks ( I am very young and respond quick and strongly to minimal amounts). If the derm would inject more saline into the jaw and then massage it up to the hollows to spread it further away from the jaw, will it help? Or doing strong LPD/endormologie massage to flaten it

If at 3-4 months your cheek... more

Too early for you to pass judgement on any Sculptra treatment at two weeks.

Please be patient. I have used and trained for Sculptra since it became available for HIV patients and then for cosmetic use. I myself have had sculptra esthetic and have given it to friends and family. Even with this experience, I do not have a clue at two weeks as to how it will turn out at 4 months. What you see now will change. Massage is great initially, but at this time, just being patient should do the job. Dr. Mayl
