Why Was Sculptra Injected Directly into Bone?

User Avatar

I had Sculptra injected under my eyes 6 weeks ago to plump up my sinking tear troughs. A bean size lump has developed ON the bone of my eye socket, on the edge close to my eye. It does not sound like the lumps I have read about. When I commented about the lump being IN my bone, my doc said, "Yeah, that's where I injected it." ??? Also, will it keep growing? At what point can I do something about it? What are the best "cures?" And should my doc absorb the cost? I'd appreciate information from anyone who's had a similar experience. Thank you.
