JoJo, thanx for the input. I'm definitely curious to see how I progress with Sculptra,and I sure hope results last beyond a year. My second procedure already seems less dramatic than the first one -- perhaps my bar has risen :) Anyway, from what you said I now have even more incentive to be conscientious about massage -- not just to inhibit clump-formation, but also to [possibly?] encourage new collagen formation.

Raptorannie, I'm so sorry you had such a dismal experience -- it seems to have been such a different one than mine. For what it's worth there IS good news for you: I'm told Sculptra responds to Kenalog injections just as does Restylane, etc, and may thusly be "dissolved". Thus your "bumps" may be treated, but do pick your next doctor carefully!
