I'm 3months out of 1 vial of sculptra ，its my first treatment. I don't like the results so that I've got two kenalog injections to reduce volume. Kenalog helps.But I found some hard ，invisible but large size bumps on my cheeks recently.I massaged it aggressively but it grows bigger suddenly！now the bump is visible and I feel painful when I touch it ！is that granulomas？did I get infection？will more lumps developed in future？what should I do？thank you for answering!

Answer: Sculptra It is very difficult based on the quality of your photos tk ascertain the etiology of the lesions that you are experiencing. I would strongly advised you to seek the evaluation of the individual who injected you. If you arent comfortable going back due to your experienced, a board certified dermatoligist woth experience injecting sculptra can further assist you. Good luck!

Answer: Lumps After Sculptra Sculptra comes in a powder form and has to be diluted with salt water prior to injection. If the powder is not diluted enough with water the concentration of particles within the Sculptra will be too high and when injected into the face will precipitate a reaction that leads to nodules.These nodules are the normal reaction to concentrated Sculptra particles in most cases and they do not represent a biofilm infection. This nodularity can be avoided by diluting Sculptra with more saline beyond the maufacturers recommended amount. Once you form nodules I have not found Kenalog injections to be helpful .They do not disappear and in fact surrounding tissue may temporarily atrophy which may make the nodules to appear larger therefore these nodules usually have to be removed . If you wait long enough some of these nobles will spontaneously disappear but it may take months to years .
