I Had Sculptra Injections Yesterday. I Am Severely Bruised, All Purple from my Nose to my Chin?

I'm sorry to hear about the negative side effects you experienced following the treatment.  Side effects of Sculptra may include the following:

1) Lumps, or "nodules."
2) Redness or swelling at the injection site
3) Bruising
4) Itching
5) Swelling

 

I would recommend speaking with your physician who performed the injections regarding any concerns you have. You will just need a little time to recover from the bruising. Thanks and good luck!

Unfortunately, with any procedure involving injections, there is a risk for bleeding bruising.  It is important to not be on any Aspirin just prior, during, or immediately after a procedure like this to reduce these risks. 

Anytime a needle is inserted in to the skin you are at risk for a bruise.  I actually tell my patients to expect bruising and be surprised if you don't.  Aspirin and aspirin related products as well as some Herbal and OTC can cause you to have more bruising.  Icing for the first 48hours and staying away from those products can cut down on your bruising time.
