Sculptra Not Suitable and I’m in a Nightmare of an Abyss

Sculptra Not Suitable and I’m in a Nightmare of an Abyss

I just did sculptra two weeks ago and completely regret it. I did NOT know it was for volume and thought it was merely for skin improvement much like profhilo on steroids. For context I have a heavy lower face and did buccal fat removal two years ago and loved it. I have practically no wrinkles and did skin boosters multiple times with good results. After two weeks I have these chipmunk cheeks and a heavier lower face which is highly disappointing. I keep reading reviews that sculptra only works after 4-8 weeks but I’m positive this is the sculptra working. I only did one vial on my nasalabial folds and cheeks but it is significant and ultra depressed that my doctor did not tell me I’m not a suitable candidate.

I’ve read countless reviews on how to reverse or mitigate this but seems like there’s no hope. I am thinking of doing botox for my masséter muscle to balance out the results, how long should I wait after sculptra to do this? Please tell me there is hope.

Hii. Any update? Are you doing any better now? I just had sculptra and I sort of feel the same way, I'm freaking out. Please update?
How are you now? I was thinking of doing sculptra but now not so sure.
Hi I’m on a similar boat. I received two vials of sculptra on my temples cheeks and jaw from Dontage VA without knowing it was going to massively add volume to my face.

Right now I’m picking up smoking. I try to smoke 3/4 to a pack a day of Marlboro reds. I take ibuprofen for 1 week straight on a once a month basis to block inflammatory response. I consume no protein and no vitamin C for 1 month at least. Collagen needs vitamin c and protein to be produced.
