Sculptra Maybe Gone Wrong.

I had sculptra today, 2 vials. I am 27 years old. Temples cheeks and jaw! I feel like I have a fat face and hating it. It looks like I have fat cheeks when I smile... I am hoping it’s just swollen?

It's never recommended to have 2 vials in one session. Should have only injected 1 vial for the whole face to see how you react. I had 2 vials spaced 4- 5 weeks apart and the results are very natural. Sometimes you don't need more than 1 vial as you might not have that much volume loss.

I had 2 vials in 1 session. I thought that was the recommended dose ?

It will be swollen! Send me some photos!

I found a way to remove Sculptra/Radiesse effects. I have before/after pictures and surgery pictures from the Dr to prove it. Every Dr in the UK/USA told me it couldn’t be done, but it was done and I now look more like my old self again. I have no scars as what was done was minimal but effective.

Can you tell me more of what it did to your face? With me, it made it very wide, fat and puffy. But don’t despair as I said, there is a way to fix this.

Kenalog and 5fu they recommend for lumps/granulomas btw.

she found that a surgeon in south korea cuts the nodules and collagen clusters out of your face. search this:

Management of a Visible Nodule Following Poly-L-Lactic Acid Injection in the Periorbital Area

Jin Su Shin, Eun Soo Park, Jin Young Kim



she will email you. she will guide you through the process for a fee. i cant afford to fly to korea to cut this [RS bleep] out of my face so i declined to pursue it.

Hmm. Not sure if I trust this.

i can appreciate that. send city sphinx a private message. she will contact you. i didn’t ask to see her photos because i knew i wasn’t going to pay her to see this correction through. im just trying to deal with the fact this is my face now.

Thank you for sharing. I wouldn't mind flying to Korea if it meant I can have my old face back. The article suggests they have techniques for removing nodules, but City Sphinx mentions she didn't have any of that, just that it was puffy and wide (like me). I wonder how they were able to remove the Sculptra with no lumps. I mean I hope its possible because that's what I need. I also wonder, how much time after your last treatment you need to wait to have it removed.

i can relate to your experience and i'm sorry you are also going through it. i've applied two vials of sculptra 2,5 years ago with 1 month spacing and i absolutely hated it from the start. i have a thin long face and sculptra made my face squared and heavy. i tried everything that was not too invasive, thank God i live in europe and in my country is forbidden to inject kenalog and 5fu. i've lost weight even though i was already too thin for my weight and reached 46 kg (i'm 1.71m), that made my face slim again but that weight was not sustainable nor healthy, i did prednisolone because i got bitten by a spider and it helped as well. what i feel that helped the most was first of all time - then, cutting all inflammatory food and drinks, radiofrequency and removing all fillers i've had done before (only a little on cheeks and nasolabial folds, not even a full syringe). i hope this helps and i truly hope you get back to normal and get back your self esteem

Don’t get Sculptra if you want to be happy. Just get usual filler. Sculptra cannot be dissolved. I have Sculptra nodules. I’m 28 with 2 under 2. It’s ruining my mental health and I feel my face slowly.

Sculptra Nodules/Granulomas-not Worth It

ashrk9
To every woman or man whom has Sculptra issues please keep faith. Find a good cosmetic Dr & start on intrelesional steroids & oral prednisolone - I was diagnosed with this issue 13 months post injection. It’s not worth it - I am only 28 years old with 2 under 2. Not only do I have lumps growing in My face but it is ruining my mental health. I am one of the lucky ones that you can’t see the lumps unless I pull the skin. Good luck to those whom don’t have these issues, all I can say is it’s not worth it and there is so many reasons why drs don’t do it. There are to many risks and it can’t be dissolved like regular filler. I was injected by a cosmetic nurse, only to find out now that really it should only be done by a Dr. I am positive mine will resolve with 12 months of treatment. I will Keep everyone posted if it is resolved.

Hi
I had a lot of treatment & still doing. Installation or steroid injections with Kenacort a 10 oral prednisolone 50 mg a day a course of methotrexate as well- I’m not a doctor but for me I found the injections were the best

I am really sorry you have to go through this. Is the Dr taking any responsibility? At least they didn't inject cement in your face like those 2 poor women. People are such a sad species.

My sculptra nodules completely went away with three solid months of infrared sauna sessions (3-4 X per week for 30-60 minutes) and high trace mineral doses. I was told it would take 5-6 years if I did not take steroids. I chose the more natural approach to healing. Steriods have their own list of long-term side effects that I don't want.

I had a facetite procedure in Lake Oswego Oregon and have a big pouch now on the side of my face. They won't even return my calls. I don't know what to do.
