What can be done for large noticeable nodules due to Sculptra injections gone wrong?

March 1, 2014

I had injections of Sculptra several years ago. The plastic surgeon told me that the instructions on the product were incorrect. Now I have nodules - large and noticeable. He said these would diminish with time. They have not. My question is what, if anything can be done to correct this? I am wary of returning to this surgeon for advice.
