I'm considering getting sculptura but I'm afraid of granuloma and nodule formation. What can one do if a granuloma or nodule forms? Does this treatment really work to improve tightening of the face and how often does this have to be redone? Is this something that permanently remains?
Answer: Granuloma formation after Sculptra Thank for your question. There is a risk of granulomas forming when Sculptra is injected however it is not common. If by any chance granulomas form, another option would be to get a cortisone injection to dissolve them. Hope this helps. All the best.

Answer: Is there a high risk of granuloma formation after Sculptra injections? In my opinion, there is not a high risk of granuloma or nodule formation after Sculptra injections. Granulomas or nodules can occur with any injectable filler, but the FDA-approved products have a very low incidence of these side effects. If nodules do occur after Sculptra, they frequently can be reversed with a medication injection. Results from Sculptra are not permanent. I have seen results last from 2-4 years.

Answer: Sculptra Sculptra should be always injected in deep subcutaneous planes and never superficially. If SMAS layer in a particular person is very thin and close to the surface of the skin it should never be injected. For butt injections, Sculptra is injected in the deep subcutaneous layer to avoid the formation of granulomas and visible irregularities.

Answer: Sculptra and Nodules The problem with nodules was that some clinicians don't know how to reconstitute the product properly and well in advance on the procedure. In addition, proper massage of the product must be done five times a day for five minutes for five days. In this way, nodules do no form. Please consult an expert in Sculptra injections. The procedure needs to be redone once a month for three months or until correction and lasts about two years. Best, Dr. Green
