Is this normal fluid retention after Sculptra and will it subside? (Photo)

Asked By:TBH in Providence, RI

I had Restylane in tear troughs 1 month ago, had 1 vial of Sculptra in cheeks yesterday. Immediately after Sculptra I LOVED the look! I know I can expect swelling for a few days up to even a few weeks. I massaged the area 2 times last night and 2 times so far today. I seem to have some fluid retention/swelling that looks like malar bags. Does this look like uneven swelling for Sculptra that will go away? Or is it possible I have more fluid due to the already existing Restylane in that area?
