Don’t mess with your face, people. If it goes sideways it’s psychologically unbearable

Im going to start by saying anytime someone has a problem with Sculptra and comes on here to ask doctors questions they always tell you whatever Galderma ( the manufacturer) told them or “ return to your provider “ Well returning to your provider if you have a problem will not help you at all. Even if they agree with your assessment of what is wrong, mine did not, IT CANNOT BE FIXED. My provider was an NP a good and sincere person with a very high rating of satisfied clients.Trained by Galderma. I thought i chose well. And they are being kind and good to me. But I hate my results and its wrecked my world even though compared to some of the sculptra horrors ive seen on here, so far, im semi lucky.
I believe this is what happened to me:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
8 weeks after having one vial injected into my temples, upper cheeks and jawline, i began to experience itching on cheeks and began to develop puffy malar bags. Everyday they get worse. Each morning i dread to look in the mirror seeing if it got worse. I am telling you I did not have these before Sculptra. Or, not like this. Not super pronounced like this. Meaning i didnt even know about malar bags before i started googling what was wrong with me. I can FEEL the product in my face even though my provider says its gone. No it’s not. Go read any clinical research that isn’t funded by Galderma and you’ll find out that PLLA was found 60 months after they cut into some rabbits they injected. When you call Galderma they don’t know anything. They can’t and wont help you. They have no clue what this crap might do to you. Also they have no list of doctors experienced in dealing with poor outcomes. You don’t know what your body is going to do when faced with this invader. The providers will tell you it lasts 2 years. No, that’s just the length of the study of an injected group that still had effects 2 years post injection. Some doctors say they’ve seen it last 8 years. EIGHT. YEARS.
I am in a state of constant anxiety now that i have a full understanding of the mistake ive made. There wasn’t a reason to do this to myself, Im old, I should have accepted myself instead i was vain and on some level this boils down to greed - to try and hold onto youth that was already gone - I couldn’t put enough $&@! in my face to stop the hands of time. I wish i had understood that before i installed basically an implant of plastic beads in my face. This is a lesson i wish I could have learned before putting my health at risk. I hope my words stop you from learning a hard unnecessary lesson.
If you’ve read this far I am going to say, stop. find a way to make peace with the face God gave you. I can see trying an HA filler at least that can be reversed although even those have their issues. But sculptra is for real. you cant move it. and you cant dissolve it and you will have no option but to wait it out. and nobody really knows how long that will be.
My plan is to pray that I suffer nothing greater than ugly malar mounds and hope I return to the baseline I was at before I made this dumb a$$ decision. Put myself on an anti- inflammatory diet; detoxing supplements, trying to figure out the power of positive thinking and meditation and try and live in the moment so im not mad about the past and afraid of the future.
