Temporary bell's palsy with Sculptra?

You had some facial paralysis after a sculptra injection. Did this last hours or days or longer? IT may have been due to anesthetic mixed into the sculptra.

Hi, thank you for your question! The temporary Bell's Palsy is caused by the lidocaine that is added to the vial of sculptra to make it more comfortable for patients. The lidocaine should wear off with in an hour or two after your appointment. I would recommend reaching out to your injector directly if the sensation continues for a longer period of time.
