Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

11 months in. Worse than ever.
11 months in and it’s worse than ever. Extreme cheeks is the best way to describe it. When I smile it’s unnatural. Puffy. Circular. Nothing you want. Definitely not snatched. My mother looks younger than me.
All I can be grateful for is that life throws us lessons and this is one.
My nodule still hasn’t gone away. I’m seeking steroids and other options to get this to pass quicker.
I am so anxious. No confidence.

Sculptra Ruined My Face Too
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.
I told my provider I needed someone to help guide me through the world of disaster stories and enhancing cosmetics. That there was too much of it online for me to handle. My goals were to keep my beautiful face as long as possible. I loved my look. I had confidence. A boyfriend who called me beautiful.
Immediately after the treatment (2 vials, even though I requested 1) I was puffy. They said it was swelling. It didn't go down. I developed a nodule in my left cheek after the first week. It's still there.
Yes, the changes are "gradual" etc etc. But they are awful. As with many women on this platform I look fat. Inflammed. I've lost all the beautiful contour in my face. I've been told from friends and family "you're not ugly, you've just used to be stunning."
Heaviness in the lower cheeks. Loss of contour in the face. Loss of defined cheek bones. Loss of smile. Too much fullness that presses out in my face, making me look "mad." I don't turn heads anymore.
I went to a dermatologist. She gave me 3 months of docycycline to help with the inflammation. It did help, but after I went off the antibiotics the inflammation and fat face returned.
The irony is, now, instead of being able to avoid all the drama online of cosmetic enhancements, I'm a slave to it. I've probably taken 10,000 selfies in different light. I constantly compare old photos to new ones. I have tried makeup, different ways to smile, different sleep postures, more water, less water, more exercise to make my face slim out.
I'm tired. I'm giving up. I've lost my face and self. It's beyond depressing. I hope hope hope this sh*t goes away. But...reading all the comments and understanding how my body reacted to it...I don't think it's going to happen. The lesson is: love the body you were given. It's amazing. Aging is beautiful. Don't f*ck it up.
Please, go home. Do some face yoga and drink water if you need to. Stay AWAY from Sculptra, and never trust a nurse with a syringe with life choices.
