I tried Sculptra and was very, very pleased, however, I do not like the bumps it has left on my chin. I have been told by the dermatologist who did the original Sculptra procedure that the bump risk is no longer a concern as the Sculptra will be diluted more or something like that--cannot remember exactly what she said. However, Sculptra is very unpredictable. How do I find the best doctor who specializes in my city (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)?

That might be a tough one. As far as I know, there are only 7 or 8 appropriately trained plastic surgeons in the entire country. I suggest going to the UK.
Bruising varies with each individual. It is recommended that patients discontinue aspirin, vitamin E, and fish oil two weeks prior to the treatment.
Nodule formation is possible with Sculptra, and I tend to use this product primarily in the cheeks and temples. I do not use Sculptra in the forehead for this reason. I like to place Sculptra in the deep tissues, and the forehead has very little subcutaneous tissue to disguise any irregularities...
