Hi Dru11, you are totally right. With about 30minutes of research based on keywords you just wrote above (and I'm sure any doctor injecting sculptra has a rudimentary knowledge of these terms) I found this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16029705
In just a few minutes!! The article was published in 2005!! Clearly showing there is no alternate besides surgical excision in adverse reactive patients (but doesn't link with further studies of the surgery complications or effectiveness).
My doctor said "this is the safest thing you can inject. It's suture material and your body will absorb it. It's safer than any other injectables."
OMG!
Sorry for the late response, but obviously there are still people being harmed by injections of sculptra into their bodies. I have two hard lumps from sculptra on my jawline and am now worried that they will never go away or that I may develop even more as time goes by. I believe that there are enough people harmed by sculptra to form a class action lawsuit against its makers and distributors. If anyone has begun pursuing this, please let me know as I would like to be added. In my case I don't blame my doctor, who actually did inform me of the possibility of bumps, but not everything about how/why you get the bumps. I truly believe that she doesn't know, as is evidenced by the doctor below who is researching the prolonged and delayed affects of sculptra. I had no idea that the lumps were permanent, that they can recur or that they are caused by an autoimmune response in my body that will last for 55 years when this stuff may (or may not) finally break down! So I'll take this plastic crap in my face to my grave with me. Perfect. At the very least, it be marketed as an implant, as Dru11 has said. Just like the people who had problems with silicone injections that caused permanent disfiguring, sculptra's possible disfiguring side effects will eventually become common knowledge. If anyone is pursuing a lawsuit or can give me more info on treatments, please let me know. Thanks and my support and heartfelt thoughts go out to all others suffering.
Umm, trish333...would you please SHUT THE HELL UP??? The people who are following this thread have been GENUINELY HARMED BY SCULPTRA!!! If you haven't, then get the hell off of this thread!! I for one am SICK AND TIRED of clowns like YOU who obviously are PAID by the makers of sculptra to TROLL these sites and make the VICTIMS of sculptra feel like WE did something wrong or the doctors are just inept. Newsflash: doctors are just discovering that sculptra is dangerous themselves. How DARE you come on here and berate all of these people who are suffereing and cause them even MORE harm with your callous, insensitive, self-righteous drivel. If you want to investigate who has been severely harmed by sculptra for your bosses, then do it via courtroom transcripts, NOT HERE! This is for people who want to get together and share their stories of suffering and create a class action lawsuit, not for PAID TROLLS, LIKE YOU.
