Would you recommend no massage after Sculptra?

MissMJ40
I just had scupltra for the first time and I asked my PS about massage. I have used him for a variety of treatments over the years but not this one. He said not to massage, that he had done so sufficiently post injection. Everything I see on the interwebs says the generic 5/5/5 rule. Are there other doctors that don't recommend massage and what have their outcomes been like?
