Sculptra scar tissue? (Photos)

jewywoodDec 2, 2017
Dr, please could you tell why my face is so badly scarred since sculptra injections in 2012? I have lumps in my eye, as well as complete irregularity in right cheek? Does this terrible scarring get better? Why has it disfigured me so badly? I attach pictures of sculptra scarring as well as normal sidecar face that is not so scarred? Kind regards G Gray

Your fat transfer was far enough in the past that getting Sculptra now and massaging your face will not affect it. A vial of Sculptra stimulates the skin to produce more collagen, which gives your face about a teaspoon worth of volume. That’s about how much fat we lose from the face every year a...

Sculptra takes many weeks to cause any volume increase.  See your treating physician right away for advice.  Don't do anything else without sound medical advice from someone who sees you up close.

I recommend following up with your Doctor about your concerns with treatment recommendations.  Venus legacy and 5/FU steroids can give improvement. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
