Still bruised and swollen 15 days post Sculptra, is this normal?

Asked By:Divadelux in Nyack, NY

I'm getting nervous. I received Sculptra injections 15 days ago. By the next morning, my under eyes were very puffy and swollen, almost like an edema. The Dr did not inject under my eye, so im not sure why I'm swelling there. About 5 days in, I also started bruising. Both the swelling and bruises are both still there, and I still look like I may have edema under one eye. Is this normal after 15 days?
