Look into Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber. See if that can be helpful or get in touch with top doctors from New York City.

I don't know if this helps, If I am aloud to post from other sites. type in a happy ending for sculptra horror lumps.the site is make me heal. sounds like this guys had same but just on face but he talks about steroids and other stuff used that is finally helping. I am so sorry you are gong through this. all we want to do is feel better about ourselves and some people take advantage of that. and most do not tell you side effects if you don't ask. it's sad we trust people and we suffer in the end. I read everything I can find on Internet... I have been seeing a lot of negative about this sculptra... even with 1% chance I would not do it... Good Bless, research as much as you can. this article I read sounds very helpful. I hope it helps..sending prayers your way..

Did you look up morgellons as mentioned in a previous post? I believe that this is what it looks like. Go to morgellons-research.org

i think it is totally morgellons. i think that putting sculptra during a facelift may have left her vulnerable to infection. i am not in favor of sculptra, but sculptra per se would not cause that kind of bumps.

mfan17, Morgellan's is not psychosomatic.

The more I read this website the less I want to do anything. Paying lots of money to be damagedone! Almost like having acid thrown in ones face!

Please help me if you can. I had sculptra injected...

Please help me if you can. I had sculptra injected while having a mini facelift, chemical peel, lipo under chin and correction of corners of mouth at the same time. Six months after surgery these white things started growing out of me. Sometimes it would be a big lump and it would burst open. I've seen over 30 doctors over the past 6.5 years and I'm currently seeing a plastic surgeon at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore. He says he really knows nothing about sculptra but would take them out for me. The problem is they are all over my body. I got a pathology report back that states the sculptra is still in my body. Any info you can offer me would be greatly appreciated. I'm desperate! I just want to be out of pain

This is terrible - have you contacted any doctors in Europe? You could try IV therapy with antibiotics perhaps? There must be others with this problem.

Keep asking, someone may know something. It seems like an allergic reaction of some type, your body was clearly traumatized and is rejecting this foreign material. Is it migrating throughout your body? What do the doctors say? Maybe write to the "Botched" surgeons, they certainly have seen a lot and likely have contacts to consult with and help you. I am thinking of you!
