I have used sculptra for years. This time I developed a malar adema. The dr injected perlane to try and desguise the edema which made it worse then after weeks finally eleminated the perlane and the edema subsided. I have had injections for years. I now have droopy skin across the cheek bone. I want to do the sculptra again but am conerned the area should heal first or is this condition permanent. How can I fill around the area as to not cause it to swell again?
