Had 2nd MRI after Sculptra/Radiesse 2 years ago. The findings have changed since 1st MRI 5months ago (photo attached) - which shows changes under the skin. The collagen continues to grow/my face grows larger by the week, should I be worried by the 2nd report which claims there is abnormal signal and nodular appearances under the skin?
