Received two vials of Sculptra three weeks ago, some of which was injected along my jawline. The following day I noticed a fixed, hard 4-6 mm oblong lump on my right jawline, palpable but not visible, at the site of the cannula insertion. I notified my dermatologist and was instructed to keep massaging the area. No improvement, I followed up again and was offered a variety of non-reassuring explanations such as, it could have been there all along. Now it's tender and I have a swollen node.
After the initial swelling from the treatment went down, I looked more or less normal. Now after 3 weeks my face seems to be getting puffier by the day. My eyes are swollen and my face is far too swollen. I'm so upset - can anything be done? Will it calm down? Please please help
I'm 28 yrs old. I've got my first sculptra injection on cheeks and lower face 3 weeks ago. My lower face is obviously becomes puffy now , I was born with a heart shape face but now it changes me to a rectangle! I know once the sculptra works it may last years . But I wonder could I return to my original face shape after a while since I just take one injection? I'm worry about if my face would continue growing , How could I minimize the effects of Sculptra?
I'm 19 days after one vial of Sculptra. I had big swelling at the beginning which was slowly going down for about two weeks. Now I still see some fullness in my face , which defintely didn't go back to the state from before injection. I'm not sure if its still some edema or maybe already growth. At this moment I'm already a bit overfilled, and if I start to grow I will be definitely too full. If I don't get any more sculptra will my result start to fade faster.
I had sculptra done at my temples three weeks ago, two days later I developed a deep purple bruise under my right eye. It is still there. I have done arnica montana gel and moist heat. What else can I do. It is very dark and doesn't appear to have changed hardly at all.
