Now 42 and still not happy with. Better but will never be near the same. To much damage was done from the injections and 1st sculptra removal surgery by Dr. Sinha. 5 years 3 surgeries and if I could go back in time I would have never done anything.

For a little touchup and $25k worth of surgeries...

For a little touchup and $25k worth of surgeries to fix this I am still not satisfied. Sculptra should never have been injected under my eyes

It has ruined my eyes. My eyes are uneven and I have lumps under the skinUpdated on 21 Nov 2011:For a quick touch up under my eyes for Bags supposedly a better otion than surgery, It has been over 2 years and my Eyes look like crap. I had to have surgery to remove the sculptra because it hardened and turned into lumpy nodules. My eyes uses to be my best feature and now my worst. As of 2008 I am a 38 year old male who's social life is all but over. I have tried setroid injections, surgery to remove the sculptra but he could not get it all out. I am going to have to have some type of surgery in order to correct the unevenness of my messed up eyes but the New Dr. said they won't ever be the same. STAY AWAY FROM SCULPTRA. I have written them many emails and they have never responded. They need to be held accountable. I am sure I am not the only one. Unhappy in Atlanta GA Updated on 11 Feb 2011: I will submit an offical rating once we have a meeting with Dr. Sinha to see what he is willing to. I had a surgery from another Dr to remove the remainder or most of the sculptra in Oct 2009 and after the long healing process the bags are so much worse but at least most of the sculptra is out. I am hoping Dr Sinha will keep his word from our conversation a few months ago and do whatever it takes to lift these bags. I do not believe the redness will ever go away. Sculptra is NOT meant for under the eyes. He has done nothing YTD.
