Ruined by sculptra - 5 years updated
it’s been almost 2 years , I come back to Realself finally. Thank you all for your kind words, my life could be so hard since I was ruined. As you can see from my pic after 5 yrs the volume doesn’t go down a lot , but it’s so much better than yr3 and 4 ( in the previous posts). Now I’m out of steroid and 5Fu, the magic is I no longer feel ache and itchy after I stop them, maybe a little during my period. I just wonder if those stuff “stimulate “ the sculptra trash at the meantime?!
Ive heard some Asian doc use Botox use Botox to decrease excessive tissue by sculptra, has anyone heard or tried that?

Sculptra disaster 4 years mark- worse actually
I haven’t been here for a while cause some people are really mean, they always judge others without reading the whole story.
it’s 4 years now, I’m still very disfigured and I feel things getting worse . Sometimes I couldn’t even sleep well because of the ache and burning, the swelling comes and goes , my face is way too big. I know you guys may think I look better than before , but I’m Asian , Asian girls worship small and heart shape face , like I had before Sculptra . Everyone here say in year 4 they feel better , but I’m absolutely not.
Something want to share; prednisone works for swelling and curves the volume growth , but you need to take it everyday. 5Fu and kenalog works very well but volume will grow back quickly.

3 yrs post Sculptra-still disfigured!!
Thank you all for asking whether I’ve got back my original face shape and size. It’s 3 yrs everyone suppose I should be recovered , including my dr. However, I can still feel the swellingness, soreness and growth.
Probably I need to take steroid for another 2 yrs..

Provider Review
He is nice and patient ，gives me follow up to correct my sculptra issues，but it does not make sense that he put me on sculptra since I don't need to add volume and I'm only 28!!!
