My face is sore after Sculptra injections today and a little painful to touch. Can I wait until tomorrow to start massaging?

The doctor took his time and went to a lot of trouble to get the placement 'just so' - fanned it out and massaged it with his fingers. Injections were done checkbones and midface and not around my eyes. I asked him about massaging today and he seemed pretty confident that I would be oaky if I didn't. He stated that he uses proper technnique and diution so I shouldn't have to move it around. I just want to make sure I do the right thing. Also, how do you do the massage? Technique?
