Hi, I was wondering if the price you wrote for your Sculptra treatment in Montreal was really $100. I'm live there and am interested in getting some and want to know if that was really what it cost you. Thanks in advance!!

Something doesn’t add up here. I’m not blaming you, the patient. But Sculptra is typically sold by the vial.. bout $750 per vial. It is not indicated for under eye hollows, but for larger areas like the jawline, cheeks, temples, etc. I dot know why a doctor wold offer Sculptra for tear troughs, and I suggest you see someone else.

The doctors here have stated that they do not recommend Sculptra for under eye areas. Here is more information abouthow to avoid Sculptra side effects such as bumps. I hope you keep us updated on your progress and whether the condition improves. 

Best wishes,

Tom, I would love to share my Before and After photos, my Honest events of what happened to my face and health since that time, now 2 years. You cannot even imagine. Can your lawyers protect me from a lawsuit 100% honest, in no way would I even think to make this up,truly just the truth about my experience with Sculpta injections "safe, not risky like surgery"? Let me know. Sincerely,

It is very unfortunate you may be in the sculptra damage club. you have inflammatory nodules that are part of a foreign body immune response. 2/20/08 it was improperly injected under my eyes and today i still have chronic painful inflammation. the manufacturer cant tell how long thid will go on. they know this happens. it is not your fault but everyone will blame your bodies unique response. you and i were counted when they did their market calculations. good luck, you will need it.

Give it some time and try not to look at yourself while it calms down. I had a horrible post reaction to the injection with redness and swelling and pain. I lost 10 pounds and so much sleep over my reaction and contacted the pharmaceutical company. I am convinced I had an allergic reaction to the product settling and I hope the maker of this product puts better warnings out of the the side effects. But it did subside. I am at month three and no more redness. Don't rub it too much. I think I over massaged and irritated the already sensitive skin. Also, a turning point for me in redness and swelling was taking benedryll antihistamine and anti-inflammatory. This was recommended on a paper I read by the maker of sculptra for rare delayed swelling and sensitivity. Good luck.

Hi there - first of all thank you very much for having the courage to post pictures as a warning to others. It is very brave and extremely useful. This is a product that I had once considered for under circles but thanks to the posts on this website I think the risks are too high. Good luck and my best wishes to you. I too did not have a very good christmas or new year (botox disaster) so I absoulutely feel for you. I hope everything resolves itself soon. Also you should take heart that it is much more obvious to you than it is to others. Cheers, K
