The doctor injected saline into them 3 days ago. So far still there.
Answer: Pea size bumps after Sculptra Personally, I have never found saline injections to be helpful in treating bumps that develop after Sculptra treatments. They do generally go away over time without treatment. If the bumps are large enough to be injected with a needle, I find that Kenalog does help. There are some doctors who find that 5-FU helps as well. Some bumps are not large enough to be injected however because the medication works best when placed within the bump and not just surrounding it.

Answer: Sculptra bumps Often these can be broken up with a needle passed many times through the lump to break it up. I am careful with steroid in these bumps because I fear it may cause atrophy (divot) of normal skin. I have not tried the 5-FU as suggested by another physician but I use this all the time for scars. Sometimes more sculptra is helpful also.

Answer: Treatment of Sculptra nodules Sculptra nodules can be treated with serial injections of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and kenalog. This will expedite their resolution. In the majority of cases they will also resolve on their own, but may take a longer period of time without treatment.

Answer: Small Sculptra Bumps Hi BradyLynn,The good news is that usually small bumps from Sculptra can be felt but not seen, and that they usually disappear before they can be seen. Should they increase in size to the point of being noticable, and if the saline injections are not effective, then there is a mixture of 5FU, Kenalog, and local anesthesia that works well at dissolving the bumps. I hope that your bumps resolve quickly and completely. Good luck and be well.Dr. P
