Vein Above Eye Inflamed Immediately After Sculptra?

The veins in the temple often swell temporarily right after Sculptra for about 24 hours.  That is of no concern as they always return to pretreatment size.  The nerve twinges are also common after Sculptra for a few days to a week after treatment, particularly when the temple or lateral face is treated.  This is just a temporary inflammation of the cutaneous nerve endings and will resolve in a few days. A bit of ice and/or Tylenol may be helpful.

When the temples are treated, there is usually swelling that results, causing some of the veins to protrude and become more noticeable.  This swelling is temporary.  If you are concerned, I would recommend that you see your physician who treated you for follow-up.
