Is Scuptra proper filler for under the eyes?

Sculptra should not be injected immediately below the eyes because it is possible to get visible lumps in that area due to the thin skin.  It can be injected into the upper cheek with good results.  I'm not sure exactly where your Sculptra was injected, but this could make a difference in regards to your problem.  There have been instances when fillers have caused swelling in the malar bag region, and this is thought to be due to the lymphatic drainage of the face.  

Sculptra should not be injected directly underneath the eyes as this is a high risk area.  There are other products, like Juvederm and Restylane that can be safely used in that area.  

The best results are achieved when Sculptra is used to restore volume in the following hollow areas:

 

1) Temples
2) Cheeks
3) Chin
4) May also help to define the jawline

I do not inject Sculptra directly underneath the eyes because I prefer to use other products in this area.  The skin in this area is so thin that it is possible to see more irregularities in this area when injected with Sculptra than a hyaluronic acid filler.

Sculptra is not recommend for use in or around the lips. In general, side effects from Sculptra injections may include:

1) Swelling
2) Numbness
3) Bruising
4) Redness

 

I would recommend following up with your physician who performed the injections regarding any concerns you have about side effects you are experiencing. Thanks and I hope this helps!
