Can Sculptra in my Temples Make my Whole Face Swell?

R Nel
I am 56, and just had my third session of Sculptra in my temples. I am into day 6 and my temple swelling is much decreased, but my face is very swollen looking. I did not have any put in my cheeks, just my temples this time. Previously, I have 1cc of sculptra in each cheek, but that was 3 months ago. Is this normal? Or, is something else going on?
