Scultpra can be placed under the eyes, but specifically above the periosteum or bone convering. Any scultpra that is superficial to this area will show up as granulomas or lumps. In the cheeks, the scultpra is placed deep to the dermal layer and isn't felt.
The skin under the eyes is very thin, especially compared to the thicker skin of the cheeks. All injectable fillers can cause bumps under the eyes due to the thin skin not being able to hide any irregularities. These bumps are usually not granulomas, but papules and nodules. I do not recommend using Sculptra under the eyes because it can cause bumps in that area due to the thin skin. I would recommend using a hyaluronic acid filler under the eyes.
Sculptra is a wonderful product. You can get natural filling especially in the mid face and jowls for up to two years. However, one of the potential side effects is granulomas. That is why Sculptra is contraindicated under the eye area where the skin is so thin. Sculptra is a deeper injection and not a superficial one. Please consult a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of cosmetic dermatologist experience.
It is possible for Sculptrato form nodules anywhere it is injected if proper aftercare is not done. Recommendedaftercare is to massage the area 5 times a day for 5 minutes for 5 days aftertreatment. In the cheeks Sculptra is injected deeply so nodules aren’t likelywith proper aftercare. The area under the eye is very thin and does not getinjected as deeply, however Sculptra injections in the area are not advised. Ilike to inject diluted Restylane in the undereye hollows. Consult with a BoardCertified Dermatologist to see what treatment is best for you.
There is a very low probability that you would develop problems from Sculptra as long at the physician is experienced with its use. I have never seen these complications in my practice and have been using this product for many years. Best wishes

Sculptra is an amazing product and the full effect of each injection takes 4 to 6 weeks to determine. After 19 days you may still be somewhat swollen although this would be unusual. I would return to the treating physician for examination but I have not seen full correction or o...
Sculptra is injected as a water based injection. That is why some doctors refer to Sculptra as a "liquid face lift". Since it is water based, within a day or two you should look as if nothing has happened. Over the next four to six weeks, Sculptra will allow your body to produce new co...
Thanks for your Sculptra question. Generally when we see patients who come to our office after having been treated by another office we first recommend they speak directly with the person who performed the treatment. If that person is unavailable, there should be another medical professional...
I completely agree with the responses of the doctors below. Jowls are best treated with surgery. I usually do fat grafting to the sides of the cheeks after the lower face surgery to give a rather fuller look to the face and that helps to enhance the cheek bones. laser treatments can provide...
