  • Posted to Scuptra Looks Very Natural at 3 Months but Worried About the Future on 5 Jun 2009

    I began Sculptra treatment last November (08)and was told by the practioner that I would need between 2 and 3 treatments. When I went for my second treatment in January I pointed out to the practioner a small lump below my right eye. He told me that with plenty of massaging this lump would be reabsorbed. I saw the same practioner again on my third treatment and pointed out the lump again adding that I thought it was getting bigger, although at that point I wasn't overly concerned as the lump was below the surface and not at all noticeable. However, over the past 6 weeks the lump in now large and hard and is noticeable protruding above the surface. After reading many comments on the subject of Sculptra lumps it scares me to learn the fact that these lumps do not go away quickly and I might have to live with a prospective '3rd eye' for years or face surgery in an area that no doubt will cause scaring. I recently spoke to another doctor who advised me that these lumps are caused when the Sculptra material is not injected deep enough into the tissue.
