My body had a reaction to the Sculptra. Under my left eye are now three large visible bumps and the thin skin in between the lumps now has large vertical lines. My regular makeup and undereye concealer do not work because it get stuck in these big new cracks. Since the bumps are raised, I haven't been able to cover them either with base makeup.
Have you heard of any way to cover them up with makeup of any sort? Is there a product that helps? What type of moisturizer can I use on the new deep lines so I don't feel this is now the first thing a person notices when they look at me?
Any suggestions, you may have heard of might help. Any cosmetic cover-up for under the eyes. Any good moisturizers because the ones I used before, don't moisten the cracks. Thanks.

As with any other filler or cosmetic procedure, it is crucial to find a board-certified doctor with extensive experience. Sculptra is most efficient when maintained so you will have to work with your doctor to plan an appropriate treatment plan for you.
What you describe indeed sounds like a foreign body granuloma, which can occur at any time following the injection of synthetic or non-biologic agents. I am not a proponent of synthetic agents such as Sculptra, Artefill, Radiesse or silicone for this very reason.

The doctor will be able to determine the proper and appropriate administration of fillers. This process depends on a lot of factors. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.
