I made a huge mistake and had 1 cc of Sculptra injected in the under eye hollow! I went to a new dermatologist who assured me...

Asked By:jodkay in San Francisco, CA

that it wasn't a filler, so I wouldn't get lumps. I shouldn't have agreed! Only afterward did I read that it's not approved for use there. I'm visiting a country where there's no Belotero, and have not had good results with Restylane. Obviously I won't return there again! I massaged 5 minutes today, and will daily for 5 days. Should I use a lot of pressure, or a little? Are lumps likely to form, and when would they form? It looks fine now, although I've read this is just temporary swelling.
