7 months ago I was injected only 1 vial Sculptra by a board certified plastic surgeon and this was my first injection . I'm very disfigured and I can still feel the soreness comes and goes. The volume is still growing. I've had several kenalog shots and 5FU shots, but after about 2 months my face would plumped again and the volume all came back. All doctors couldn't believe only 1 vial made disfiguration like this .How do I know what was injected?

Answer: How to know if Sculptra or something else was injected?
The results you are showing are solely the injector's poor placement. It was placed too superficially and hence it is noticeable during smiling. Duration of Sculptra has not been studied well. Collagen created can last about 7 years. The 2 year quoted duration is a reference to the FDA trial...
Sculptra is amazing in that it produces new collagen in the face. Over time the results look fantastic and last for more than two years. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
The products that were used are both great but the results depend on where and how it was injected. Sculptra will take time to dissolve but Voluma can be dissolved with Vitrase. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
