Lumps caused by Sculptra 5 months ago & swollen face - how can this be resolved?

October 15, 2022
Asked By:Dina2008 in Washington, District of Columbia

I had Sculptra injected into my face 5 months ago. Doctor did not warn me of any possible side effects. I have autoimmune disorder and now I am learning that with patients who have autoimmune it is more likely to develop the nodules/granuloma/lumps. Two weeks ago I woke up swollen on one side of the face with hard lump under that swelling. Two days ago, the other side of my face got swollen and more hard nodules have formed. How can they be resolved? I would like to avoid steroids. Thank you
