I had sculptra injected into my temples and nodules formed shortly after. A steroid was then injected to shrink the nodules and now my temple area is so sunken in with bulging veins showing. It’s so much worse than before. How can this be corrected?

Answer: Temple filler options I have been injecting Sculptra for 9 years and Temple Sculptra is my absolute favorite area. In 9 years, I have had maybe less than 5 patients develop palpable "nodules" in the area, which were successfully managed with manage and laser treatments. I inject over 2000 vials in a year in my practice. Any experienced Sculptra provider, not only knows how to inject but also know how to manage anything that may arise after the injection has been performed.I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I just don't understand how a small steroid injection could make Sculptra disappear in the temple region or make it look even worse. Photos would have been helpful. These are your Temple filler options besides Sculptra:1. HA dermal fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm2. Fat transfer3. Renuva filler4. Do nothing

Answer: Sculptra nodule Sculptra nodules can be excised and other fillers can be used to bulk up the temples. Veins are a different issue. Most likely you had prominent veins to begin with.
