Does all the Scuptra and newly-stimulated collagen growth ever disappear completely from your face..or are some of the rresults permanent? My doctor over-injected on the right side of my face and even Iinjected some Sculptra into my rt. cheek face muscle rsther than UNDER the dkin. My face is still noticeably uneven. asymmetrical and puffier on the rt. side 6 and 1/2 years later after Sculptra injections for lipoatrophy. Will my face even out and become symmetrical again on its own?
