Lumps shortly after Sculptra. What can cause this?

August 15, 2018
Asked By:Strype in Cincinnati, OH

I had 2 vials of Sculptra 12 days ago in my temples. I massaged 5 times a day at least as instructed. Somehow, I still managed to get one and it feels like 2 more are developing. I’ve been massaging the areas firmly, but they won’t go away. All of them are where my hair is so as long as they don’t get big, they are not visible. Should I get more Sculptra treatments? Should I go to this injector again ( a PA working with a dr)?
