It Ruined my Face
erikadj3July 13, 2025
I’m 1 year out from the disaster of a lifetime-
Sculptra that was given under the guise of a “natural” filler that only lasts “12 months.”
No mention of being irreversible, no mention of side effects. I had gotten regular filler from the provider before and thought this was the same. Everything was fine until a few weeks after the treatment when I started seeing negative changes to my face. 6 months in was the worst, I was so huge.
My face shape has changed, the left side was overfilled and has nodules as well as constant soreness.
I miss my old beautiful self.
Everyone has different answers about when this will go away.
Please look into other things, diet, exercise, hydration, gua sha, dry brushing, face yoga, etc.
Once you do this there is no going back.
Facial changes aren’t due to weight gain, my hair style has changed and I took a piercing out, but that’s it

Meanwhile so many are left marred by their callous disregard for long term outcomes and complications in real people.
I’ll be praying for all of you. We are worth so much more than your appearance, and in a world that tells us otherwise so often, please remember the world isn’t correct. Your heart matters, your voice matters, you matter. Please don’t give up.
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos so this might explain the huge inflammatory response- the problem is that autoimmune conditions are on the rise, especially in women. Even if you don’t have one when you get sculptra, it might just be the foreign body that acts as the last straw to break the camels (your immune system) back.
