I personally would not use Sculptra even diluted for tear trough lower lid depression as there is more risk in this area for nodule formation. Why increase your risk when there are more readily available fillers like Jeuvederm or even fat transfer. Most important is go to a board certifed...
It can take 1-2 months to see the final effect from a Sculptra treatment and it would be unusual for one treatment with one vial to cause overfill. You definitely could still have some swelling resolving at this point, so I would just give it a little more time before making a decision as...
Sculptra is performed over a series of typically 2-3 or 3-4 treatments over a 3-month time period. Over this time period, patient's results evolve and we add a little bit of product, very much like "sculpting' and we achieve the patient's desired result gradually as the results emerge over...
