What would cause Sculptra swelling and burning 10 months post procedure?

Thank you for your question. This is very rare, and something we have not seen.  We have seen nodules when injected improperly, but even that is rare.  The key is to mix Sculptra as directed and not mixed the same day as used. I hope this helps.

I would highly recommend that you see your physician for an evaluation for your symptoms.  It is highly unlikely that this is resulting from the Sculptra treatment.

Any burning experienced 10 months after your Sculptra treatment is likely due to something else. In general, the side effects of Sculptra may include:

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

These side effects may be experienced in the first 1-2 weeks after your treatment if they were to occur. I would recommend visiting your physician, as there may be another problem that needs to be addressed. I hope this helps and best of luck to you.
