Without examining you or seeing pictures of you, it is difficult to know what might be causing the lump on your temple one week after a Sculptra treatment. It would be unusual to develop a bump from the Sculptra as soon as a week after treatment. Normally those types of bumps take at least a month to develop.

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...
