I already posted this on another tread but here it goes the lumps will vanish in around 1 and half to 2 and half here they suddenly vanish. The problem with sculptra is not the product but the skills of the doctor and the follow up massage. Keep mind this product was developed for HIV+ individuals with brutal facial wasting not as a beauty product.

Hi rjn I used sculptra for many years and it works better in the cheecks then the temples or forehaed for those areas you need PMMA injected with cannula not siringe the cannula leaves a thin layer of pmma between skin layers making look natural, and no lumps when done with cannula. Unfortunately the closest doctors to do that are in Mexico or Brazil where PMMA for HIV wasting was developed.

Hi there, Sculptra was originally developed and approved for the treatment of facial wasting in HIV+ individuals. I used my self for almost 10 years and here is the thing. When you deal with plastic surgery and such it is all about the doctor skills and knowledge and experience and no doctor or study will ever be able to tell you how your own body reacts to any filler or implant. That said over the years I got few lumps, they way to avoid them is to massage every 1 hour on the first day after application and then few times a day for the next 5 days. In your case I suspect you have more then a lump I suspect your doctor might have injected too much sculptra. Here is my experience with lumps, they vanish suddenly after 1 and half to 2 and half years. As per sculptra itself it is only a sugar derivate from corn, once injected in the body it stimulates collagen growth and sculptra itself is digested and vanish over a 6 to 12 months period. The thing is, some people produce more collagens then others it all depends on the individual reaction, and by the same token over time the collagen (a hard tissue that usually forms after a cut or a burn) will also first soften and then fade away. So in time your lump will dissipate. In some people the collagen last longer and in others very little again it depends on the individual. Last and not the least it is not OK to inject sculptra under the eyes it is a very tender area and it is a bit dangerous unless you have an incredibly skilled doctor like Dr Frechette in NYC (unfortunately he passed away last year) but the guy only did sculptra for HIV+ 27/7, when he did it to me he did the small injections and because the area is hard to massage and often produce a black eye for a week, I did get small internal lumps under my eyes that after a couple of years faded away, but I did look good. Again from my ten years experience and some 20 sculptra sessions due to HIV wasting. I can tell you that if that is just a lump it will dissipate but if you have too much sculptra in the area it will take longer to slowly go away depending on your body. But I am very surprise you don't know that cortisone injections melt away collagen and will make that lump fade away in a couple of weeks.
