Sculptra lump in lower jaw. Will this ever go away?

SatsDec 5, 2014
I had a scuptra injection about 3 years ago in my jaw area. Every now and then I get a lump that I can feel on the inside of my mouth when I run my tongue around the bottom of my mouth. It doesn't show on the outside. I massage it and it goes away but comes up at different times, it's annoying & it scares me when it comes u. Will this ever go away?

In this case, I would not advise you to mix the two procedures as there may be an increased variable for error with these procedures combined; as they both stimulate collagen. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
