Can Prednisone Affect Sculptra?

May 18, 2011
Asked By:KCas in Portland, Or

I had to have a short 5 day low dose course of Prednisone to deal with poison ivy. I had sculptra almost three months ago and had already seen filling occuring. Now just two days after the Prednisone, my face literally looks deflated. Is that possible? It was working so well.
