I Hate It! - Los Angeles, CA

A dermatologist suggested Sculptra to help...

A dermatologist suggested Sculptra to help diminish bags under my eyes. She said volume to my cheeks would help reduce the appearance of bags. All it did was make my face look fat and puffy. I still have bags under my eyes and I hate the way it had made my face look. I can't wait for it to go away.

Is there anything I can do to speed up it's course? For example, work out more, take supplements? I massage my face in hopes it will help break the Sculptra down. Any suggestions?

Great review?

Hi Jensy! Im in LA and the same thing happened to me!! I am so depressed I hate the way I look now. I just started leaving the house again and I got it 2 months ago. I look totally weird, my eyes look small. I nave a narrow face so 2 vials were way to much for me. Please let me know how you are doing. Does it get better???? Does it dissolve faster than they say? I need to know the truth... thank you!

Hi Jensy,

Welcome to the Sculptra community. Have you looked into having the Sculptra dissolved? Other community members who were also unhappy with fillers have used Hyaluronidase to dissolve their fillers, often times allowing them to have their face back to how it was before fillers. You might want to check out the reviews and doctor Q&A in that link. Hope it helps. Please keep us updated.

Thanks so much for the review,

-Britt

Sculptra can not be dissolved the way other fillers can. It is a risky filler if the injector lacks an artist's eye.
