I had 2 viles of Sculptra put in my cheeks and along my jaw line. 7 years ago i had lip under my chin and as I've aged, the fat all disappeared and my neck is sagging. I'm 28. I wanted to lift it, so I went to a board cert doc and he put two viles and i was so big right after. He said it's the fluid, and to give it 48 hours.
