My dr injected sulptra on the sides of my face (temple area) to add volume. The effect has been just terrible, too much volume and not in the right area. It has made me look masculine (and I am a woman). I told my dr how unhappy I was and he suggested injecting the area with a steriod. He said that would help reverse the effects. It has not. I am so upset over this and don't know what to do. The sculptra was done about four months ago. Can anything reverse it? How long does this stuff last.

Answer: Sculptra Reversal Unfortunately, there arent any good ways to fully remove the results of Sculptra. Like previously mentioned, intralesional steroids can be injected for "knots" that may be left from the injections under the skin. As for a complete reversal of this product, there is no good way. This product typically last 18-24 months. If you are still concerned about this problem, you could always go see a different injector for a second opinion for alternatives to de-masculinize your appearance.

Answer: Sculptra Reversal Only time will reverse Sculptra. Intralesional steroids can be used to dissove small papules if they occur, however when the product is diluted and injected properly, these rarely occur.Sculptra gives beautiful and natural results when injected over a series of treatments and in the correct facial location.You specifically are concerned with your temples. The female temple should be more convex than the male temple, so you may consider a second opinion with another provider to see if treating the temple with a hyaluronic acid can promote feminization of your temple area.
