What has Sculptra and Radiesse done to my face shape? I'm only 30 but feel my face is ruined. (Photos)

Dear Mari:
Thank you for your question regarding Sculptra and Radiesse injected into your cheeks.  You need to see an expert injector, preferably a board certified dermatologist.  Also your pre-treatment pictures need to be reviewed and compared.  Im assuming the MRI showed calcium in the dermis, the residual from the Radiesse.  Radiesse will last about 1- 1 1/2 years so it's correction is probably gone but the calcium remains for 2-3 years (at least on MRI) which some feel helps stimulate more dermal collagen.  Your lips also appear augmented (perhaps though this is natural to you) which can also contribute to a "cat-like" appearance.  If you have filled the lips, you need to reevaluate your goals and carefully consider what it is about your appearance you do not like.  The lighting you took pictures in seems to enhance the tapering of your lateral face and may be exaggerating the cheek augmentation, leaving us to again recommend a one on one evaluation with a physician.  I would be very careful before embarking on any attempt to dissolve the Sculptra effect as at this point it is simply the thickened dermal collagen that is giving you the apparent enlarged cheek appearance.  You are very young to have had both Radiesse and Sculptra.  If you are very fit with extremely low BMI and body fat content, it is possible that this has removed fat from your face, thus indicating volume augmentation was appropriate.  When this occurs, we often augment the lateral aspects of the face, not the midline.  Finally, one would verify with your former treating physician that you indeed received the products you mentioned and to verify the quantity (vial/vials of Sculptra used).
