I would encourage you to follow-up with your physician to discuss your options.

Uneven after Sculptra

One question is, were you symmetric (or even in appearance) before you had the Sculptra treatment? Many people do not realize that they are naturally uneven before a filler treatment or surgery. When Sculptra, or other fillers are used, they can be placed differently on each side to try and make the face more symmetric. At 7 months after your treatment, you would...
