Sculptra done 2 weeks ago, 2 vials total. I hated the look, fat cheeks. My left side was a lot more swollen than the right. Went to ask about it and they said it was just from swelling, and that is looked fine. Also more was injected in that side, apparently to make my face uneven I guess? It seemed to go down a bit after the week, but now the swelling is back on left side. There feels like there is pressure, itching, and puffy, no more definition. I am not getting more but how do I fix?

Answer: Sculptra
It is difficult to answer your question without really knowing what areas were injected with Sculptra. It is common to have swelling at this time and this swelling should continue to improve. If however you experience swelling with fever, chills, pain, etc., you should consult your physician.

Answer: 2 weeks post Sculptra injection
Sculptra is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, then injected. For the first 24 to 72 hours one will see fullness in the area of injection secondary to the water used. After the 72 hours, fullness that is seen is probably because of edema secondary to the trauma of injection. You may have a deep bruise that you cannot see superficially, that should resolve with time. Two weeks is not enough time for Sculptra to stimulate enough collagen growth to be seen by the naked eye. Try not to worry about the asymmetry at this point. It should resolve. I would recommend continuing with consecutive treatments of Sculptra to work toward your goal of improving the skin and volume in the face.
