Can massaging redistribute the sculptra in my face? I would like it to focus more on the under eye area and less on cheeks

Sculptra is a unique filler in that its effects are primarily achieved via stimulation of collagen synthesis. It is injected as particles suspended in solution which distribute finely throughout an area of injection. Therefore, it cannot be repositioned by massage. The advice to apply massage with Sculptra was developed in the early days of Sculptra use to reduce the possibility of nodule formation.

Massaging the sculptra is an essential part of distributing the material throughout the tissues early on to create more collagen. If you are still experiencing swelling in the area lymphatic massage may be helpful. Massage will not necessarily remove the collagen. I would talk to your surgeon about this and additional filler around the lower eyelids may help alleviate some of your concerns.Good luck!
