How Long For Sculptra Lump To Go Down?

Sculptra nodules self-resolve. Sculptra nodules can last anywhere from a year or two to permanent. If you find them extremely bothersome, there are a variety of ways to try to reduce them. However, ultimately surgical excision may be required.

From your description it appears you have a skin-colored raised area where you had Sculptra injected. 

If you recently had Sculpture injected you can massage the area in the event that it is due to the Sculpture collecting in a localized area. 

If this is very unsightly, you can return to your physician and discuss the option of intralesional steroid to the affected area.

Without any treatment- the skin should return to normal over 1-2 years.

 

 

You either have a lump (Aggregate of Polylactic acid or a Granuloma (an immunologic reaction, not un -common.)

If it is only palpable but not visible, I would do nothing, as it would slowly disappear(6-12 months).

If it is visible and recent (lump) I would try to massage ans also have it vibrated in order to disperse it to the point that it is no longer noticeable. If it is old (Granuloma), I would have it injected with  0.4% Kenalog again to the point where it is not noticeable.

Several years ago, Sculptra was being injected in small amounts in the tear trough, under the eyes. A lot of untreatable granulomas developped. Some were excised.. Sculptra is no longer used in that area.

Always make sure that you are being treated by an experienced , Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon.
