Sculptra on Ultrasound. How quickly can PLLA fully dissolve?

fizzyfizzyJun 14, 2023
Can PLLA dissolve in 3 mo? Had 5 vials of sculptra in ea. Cheek in March Meso style w/ 9 pin needle all over ea. Cheek. Had cellulitis infection next day. Couldn’t massage. Treated but began to worry of skill & integrity of injector. Worried if sculptra was even injected & had ultrasound. Read sculptra is visible on imaging. Doc aware of what I was looking for & saw no foreign matter except post injection scars .5-1 cm round. Injection scars?Nodules?Scars around PLLA? Confused!
