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.
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.
Once you pass about 65, you need a facelift and a neck lift. Injectables won't do the trick any longer. People typically have too much loose skin at that point and it is usually quite noticeable. Dematologists claim they can use injectables, but the result is not good and they make your lower face look square instead of oval. Quite unattractive and obvious.
A good doctor can produce a very natural surgical result and it is theoretically possible to avoid visible scars, with none in front of your ears. (The latter are one of the worst tell-tale signs of plastic surgery. ) With surgery you suffer from a sense of feeling swollen for a couple of months but it's not very painful.
Stay away from amateurs, LifeStyle Lifts, spas, nurses, and doctors who are not well known. If they are any good, they get well known pretty quickly. Do not economize on your face. A really dumb strategy..
If I had it to do over again, I would have had a modest neck/chin correction in my mid- 50s. It's often called "a poor man's facelift". It staves off the aging effects of jowls and a loosening jaw line.

Because people are too dumb to go to their public libraries and look up plastic surgeons and dematologists in Castle Connolly. It is not a 100% guarantee but its a ranking by peers. People spend more time researching cars than they do doctors to work on their faces.

Have a great day!
Not being aware of a resource doesn't make a person dumb. This is good information Randall651, I wish you would have shared it in a more constructive manner.
Its a bit rough to say they get what they deserve. I personally can say I went to a medi-spa when I was in my 20's because I simply didn't know better. The good thing is now we can help educate others and spread the word about how important doing your homework is. Of course, there is a risk associated with any procedure, even in the most trained of hands, and it is our responsibility to weigh that risk when considering whether or not we want to do a treatment.
