“Misinformed on Sculptra”
I have had two sculptra treatments for facial fat loss, the last one on 5 Jun.
I noticed a nodule on 22 Jun. When I reported this to the Dr I was advised to vigorously message the area, the nodule became larger. I contacted the Dr a second time and was given a cortizone shot and told that it may or may not solve the problem and that nodules are just part of getting sculptra.
I was never informed of the possibility of a nodule(s) appearing or that there was little or no treatment available. I paid good money to make myself look and feel better and ended with a noticeable nodule on my cheek. If I had known that nodules were a possibility I would have skipped this procedure.

Where in UK you had this treatment done please? Im thinking of getting it myself after having Radiesse injection last year and while im pleased with the results , they don't seem to last too long (advertised as close to 1 year and it last around 6 months for me).
Many thanks in advance!
I would like to share experiences with you and see how things are working out for you. Anyone have any ways to get rid of this stuff. Occuloplastics Dr says that lasers will not work as they do not go deep enough and recent biopsy 3 months post injection, shows that the product persists in muscle tissue ith foreign body granulomas. They can not be removed from the muscle without risking the muscle function. What a mess. These people dont know what kind of dangerous thing this sculptra is.
