All these docs say 48 hours after Sculptra, it will go down, but i dont find that to be true. This is my 2nd time doing Scupltra. The first time with2viles, it was swollen for a week, but the swelling went down &it looked so good. There was product that never went away after the 1st week. It's been 3 months & i got 2 more viles along my jaw & cheeks 1 week ago. I wasn't swollen but i was very sore and 3 days later my face is huge and i'm scared i ruined it. It it normal to swell days later?
