I had about 3 injections of sculptra during the past 13 months. I really liked but my mom (who didnt see me for 2 years) told me my face looks "strange". Bigger on one side. So I took a picture and realized she is correct! What can be done? I am 37 yo. 114 lb

Answer: Uneven After Sculptra I am pleased to hear Sculptra has been working well for you! Sculptra is a volumizer that utilizes poly-L-lactic acid to gradually stimulate the body’s own collagen, creating natural-looking, long-lasting results. Patients are typically treated once a month for about 3-4 sessions to help restore volume to such areas as the cheeks and temples. Most of us have some level of asymmetry in regards to facial volume due to such things as driving and sleeping habits. The unevenness you are noticing may be attributed in part to these factors, as well as your physician’s injection technique, and your body’s natural collagen response. Because you have found such great success with Sculptra, you may want to consider having another session focusing solely on the “smaller” side of your face. This should help to achieve more symmetry in your face, however as you know, it will take some time. If you are looking for a more immediate result, consult with a board certified Dermatologist about other hyaluronic acid filler options. Best of luck!
