I got sculptra done approximately 3 months ago to address loss in facial volume due to rapid weight loss. I’ve been struggling with my appearance the last few weeks, I finally put my finger on what was wrong. My cheek bones are now more asymmetrical in appearance. I didn’t go into my appointment planning to get sculptra, but wanted to address facial sag and trusted my clinician’s recommendation when she gave it. She didn’t tell me it couldn’t be dissolved. I’m struggling, please help!
