My Dr. has been diluting & injecting Sculptra within minutes?

Asked By:nullibist in Apple Valley, CA

Following up my earlier post... Turns out when i asked him whether he prepared the Sculptra 72h beforehand, he said "No, i dilute a few minutes before injection. It's ok because i use a 'shaker' " So it seems i have been improperly treated w Sculptra for several yrs by this guy. He dilutes and injects in both cheeks, all within 15 minutes or so. I'm lodging a complaint. What would be the downside, in terms of results, from this incorrect treatment? Thanks for any information.
