Sculptra Lumps Caused by Inexperienced Doctor

I am freaking out! I had sculptra 5 weeks ago and a week later noticed a small lump under my right eye- you can't really see it but you can feel it. It seems to be getting bigger and I think you can see it in certain lights. Today I noticed a new tiny lump under the other eye. I just wonder if they keep growing and if they ever go away. There doesnt seem to be a site that tell you what to do or how to treat them. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Raptorannie, I'm so sorry you had such a dismal experience -- it seems to have been such a different one than mine. For what it's worth there IS good news for you: I'm told Sculptra responds to Kenalog injections just as does Restylane, etc, and may thusly be "dissolved". Thus your "bumps" may be treated, but do pick your next doctor carefully!

thank you ! since i posted i have been to see a plastic surgeon and his only advice to me is surgery - which will leave a scar under my eye unless i have a blephroplasty(sp?) so they can go in under the skin... another lump has come up under my other eye (not as noticible) and one on the right side of my nose. i had my medical records sent to my new doctor and there is NO consent form and only a one line mention of "sculptra - tolerated well" - i am so scared to have surgery and yet, these things are so prominent that i am very self consious when talking to anyone - they stand out soooo much!

Hi, How long have you had the Sculptra for? Could the lumps be explained by the fact that Sculptra requires a few months to disintegrate?

i had it done in the fall of 2007 - the lumps are very hard and prominent - 2 plastic surgeons have adviced me that the only way to get rid of them is to surgically remove them. they are also continuing to appear, over a year later.
