Eyelid Trouble After Sculptra on Cheeks and Temples

November 5, 2008
Asked By:R Nel in Portland, OR

I had Sculptra done on my cheeks and temples almost three weeks ago. While the doctor was doing the procedure, she hit a nerve under my eye and I could not close my lid. Within an hour it ceased. Now it's bothering me again. I can shut my eyelid, but it feels strange and heavy, like something is pressing on the nerve. What happened, and what can be done about it?
