Hi, I was injected with two vials of Sculptra nine months ago and am very uneven, left side is much fuller than right side. Once the collagen finally reduces, will the facial asymmetry and size proportions return to presculptra state or will one side of my face always be larger as I am thinking that collagen dissolves evenly. My doctor who is dual board certified only said that I grow a lot of collagen. Please help.
