“Should Sculptra Injections Be Painful?”

oh dear, It sounds like you didn't get a "master injector" either. It will make the product more prone to clumping and clumping more prone to a foreign body response. This includes many painful and disfiguring possibilities. Keep your fingers crossed because it can not be surgically removed. Contact the FDA medical device people and the manufacturer. That "Dr." made a very big mistake. Unfortunately, it is you who will realize the consequences.

The makers of sculptra recommend that the sculptra be reconstituted several hours >12 before treatment. I have my staff rconstitute sculptra 24 hours in advance. It is safer that way. Before sculptra injection patients can elect to have one of two "numbing" treatments. The first is a topical anesthetic that works somewhat well. The second is an injection that blocks the nerves and works very well. The injection however lasts 3-4 hours and so some patients elect to use the numbing. Also there is numbing medicine in the sculptra so once there is injection of sculptra even more numbing medicine is being added.
