    I like Dr. Mest, he is a very smart guy and I think that patient was an appropriate person for sculptra. Unfortunately the product is being used by less competent and responsible Drs and they are causing damage to people who are not candidates for the procedure and they are putting it on their eyelids causing loss of function and disfigurement. I know because that is what happened to me. I wish this video warned people about the risks associated with Sculptra.

    My advice, Don't Use Sculptra! Even if the complication rate is 20% and it is higher then that based on the documents provided to the FDA, you can not be fixed. Permanent fillers cause permanent problems. It all depends on how your immune system responds. Also, the injector. Most people who have posted about "difficult to manage" complications were done by board certified PSs or derms. The Dr always tells you how great he is and he never has any complications. This is not true in many cases. Also, a good Dr. will know that sculptra is risky for many many years after treatment.. Do yourself a favor and use something much safer like Juvaderm. At least if that goes wrong you will suffer for a year at most Sculptra victims suffer for YEARS. I know, I am one of them.

    Thank You Jo-wolverhampton! I wish the Doctor had given me some warning but all he said is it is VERY safe. Turns out my body does not like it. if you could email me the name of that surgeon I would be so grateful. Thank You for letting people know
  • Posted to Lumps then More Lumps, Swelling, Pain and Inflammation - Alabama on 17 Aug 2012

    It has been over 4 years and I have lumps that are still growing. I have had numerous surgeries and now have systemic disease. I am told that because of a chronic foreign body immune response with inflammation, I have to live with this immune system dysregulation and all that goes with that. Sculptra is disease in a syringe How come this is allowed to continue. Where is the medical ethics? Why were we never told about this well known complication? I am so sick and disfigured I can not function. You got your money back but they can not give you your health back. Such a crime of assault.
