I am on my fourth surgery for lumps under my eyes. The skin has thickened and my scars are deep and ugly. I look like a freak. My eyes don't get a full blink. The "pearls" are dropping into my lower cheeks. An AWFUL product. FDA approved. How come they never checked the adverse effects?
Sorry you had the same reaction I have. I have had three surgeries and still have large visible lumps are peri-orbital area and palpable lumps in cheeks and extreme scarring. Three and a half years post injections and now pea sized pearls in face that are dropping. Snake like blue lumps in jaw where injected. Horrible experience, horrible product, no matter who injects and how much experience. Easier to get old!
It has been over three yrs. since Sculptra was injected under my eyes. I am now facing my fourth surgery to attempt to correct the geography of this area. I have large, calcified lumps that were not even able to be surgically removed. The product caclified and gets worse, not better with time. It was just approved this yr. and mine was used off-label. I am lving proof of the long term results of using this. My face is ruined, I have permanent scarring and numbness under my eyes. I was on mega doses of prednisone for a year to reduce the awful swelling, much hair loss from stress & meds. Stay away from this product. A nightmare!!!!!!!!!!
The kenalog will cause the area to collapse. I ended up with huge dents and then got fat injections to fill that in. Nightmare. I then started taking prednisone and was amazed at how the "bumps" reduced in size. In conjunction I use a machine called "Freo" to this area twice per day. Basically it is an "icing:" machine. I have wonderful results. I think eventually it just breaks down on its own. I w
I had Sculptra ijected under my eyes, close to my nose. Palpable nodules at first then continued to get bigger. All the massaging did not work. Then I had steroid injections which resukted in indentations are Sculptra, lumps still visible. Then surgery to remove. Able to flatten out a bit and add fat injections to smooth. Still have large lumps. Did laser leave scarring or cahnges in skin? Are lumps gone?
