Are There People for Whom Sculptra Simply Does Not Work? (photo)

3 yrs ago I had 2 vials, my volume improved a bit, but I couldn't tell if it was from Sculptura... at that time I was doing a LOT of things to revive my weight & my skin. (I got a small imperceptible lump in my cheek from it tho) 4 wks ago I got 1 vial in my cheeks, temples, and along my jawline (to make my mini-jowls less noticeable). I know it takes "6 weeks", but shouldn't I see something by now? My temples look like skin on bone. Should I even bother with a 2nd vial, or am I immune?
