I had two sessions of sculptra three months apart. I wanted to look a little fresher. Now my face looks masculine. I was looking good at first, but now it seems the filler is over correcting. The nurse injected my cheeks, jaw and sides of my chin. I am a woman and have been mistaken for transgender. I am so depressed! Is there anything that can be done to reverse the sculptra? I can stand to lose about 15 pounds. Will this help? Please help!
