Was I Given Saline Instead of Sculptra?

Unfortunately, this is a clever way for a disreputable doctor to "scam" a patient and it would be difficult to prove. For this reason, picking your doctor is more important than picking a computer or car. Be sure to do your homework and go with a reputable, experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

It is common to get very little swelling or bruising from Sculptra if done properly. You should give it more time to see if you see any progressive improvement although it is always subtle.
