I'm 42 years old and had 2 vials of sculptra injected in my cheeks, hollow, temples and lower face in January. I went back to my doctor 6 weeks later and he injected another 2 vials, for a total of 4 vials. It is now exactly 4 weeks after my last treatment and one side of my face is noticeably fuller than the other. My question is, is it possible that the less full side will fill out at a different time and "catch up" to the fuller side? My doctor is a board certified dermatologist.

Answer: Uneven Sculptra results Most people do not have completely symmetric faces, so it is not uncommon for one side of the face to be fuller than the other prior to any treatment. I am not certain if this is the case with you, but you could examine photos of you before the treatment to see. In people that do have one side that is fuller than the other, Sculptra treatments can normally be tailored to help even out the sides. I would discuss your concern with the physician who treated you, as this most likely could be done with future treatments. In regards to one side filling out at a different rate than the other, this is not something that I have observed.

Answer: Asymmetry After Sculptra Hello,The most likely scenario is your facial structure was uneven before injection and that the enhancement has enabled you to visualize it. Hopefully, pre injection photos were taken. If so, post injection photos should be taken for comparison. A less likely scenario is uneven distribution of product. There will likely not be any 'catch up', however. Best of luck!
