One year after 2 sessions and please be aware of the bumps that haven't gone away. The procedure was very painful though very fast. Major bruising and swelling for a couple of weeks. Never really saw any benefits and now I can feel bumps in every injection sites. I was very diligent to massage the areas for several weeks and they just started appearing. It can't be a natural product. I had this done be one of the top rated plastic surgeons in Minnesota. I can only hope they will go away.

I am sorry to hear of your bumps and overall dissatisfaction. I hope a negative review is not the only way you chose to express this, as I would be more than happy to see you anytime at your convenience to see what can be done to improve this for you, of course at no additional charge. While nodules are a known concern with Sculptra, scrupulous massage as you report having done, and feathered technique that I utilized, have avoided these bumps in my other Sculptra patients. Sculptra is not permanent, though it can last 1-2 years, which is why it is a good volumizer. Feel free to contact me and please let me help you! Dr.Tholen
Hi Denver, I'm sorry you are going through this. Where in your facial area did you have the Sculptra injected? Have you been able to see the surgeon that did the injections or another surgeon for a resolution?
I know you may feel self-conscious, but I would encourage you to post photos of the bumpy areas. Our community, including doctors, may be able to offer solutions or support.
What are your next steps?
