Sculptra Treatment Caused Puffiness on Upper Cheek Under Eyes, Now What?

September 3, 2011
Asked By:dar1 in San Jose, CA

I had my third sculptra treatment in my temples and cheeks 3 weeks ago. Started in April, ended in August. I was very pleased with the results until after the third treatment. I now have puffy, fluid looking filled sacs on the top part of my cheek under my eyes. It looks like I have been bit by a bug and has created swelling and bags. I went to my doctor and he would not acknowledge the problem. Numerous people have asked me if I got hit in the eyes. What can I do? I look terrible:(
