My face is ruined - I am left with bulging cheeks

My Face is Ruined

I went to Shannon for sculpture in the temples and around my jawline. I left with bulging cheeks. It feels weird to smile or chew. There are no answers on how to fix this. It's only been 3 1/2 weeks and things are developing for the worst. I am so disturbed. i feel like this company is not reacting fast enough. I called on Saturday and had to beg someone to get in touch with me on Wednesday. This review will be removed when I feel the company has gone above and beyond to make this right.

sculptura nightmare How long will this last?
Vivid278988February 3, 2024
recently had a very bad experience with sculptura. I am really sad about it. Wondering if there’s anything I can do surgically to remove this it’s only one vile but it’s all in my cheeks and it looks insane. Has anyone gone through this? and if so, how long is it taking for it to wear off?

YES!! GOING through this. I am so sorry you fell a victim to this crap. It has been a year for me . Got mine in cheeks and jawline January 2023. Been the worst year in my entire life. I am still depressed and cant recognize myself. My face keeps swelling in weird sports very badly. My cheeks are HUGE. My face is round and fat and fat. it does not look like it is wearing off at all. I am devastated and looking for help.

Does your body break down fat easily. I had sculptra 8 months ago and it looked amazing but it did not last past 8 months. I am praying this is going to be the case with my cheeks. I have heard working out a bunch helps

I had ulthera over sculptra and I wish I didn't because it made my face thinner! So what you desire, a thinner face, might benefit from what I didn't desire (a fuller face).

Same thing happened to me . I used to pretty now m cheeks are huge and I used to have high cheek bones but this idiot put sculptra in my buccal fat and now I have no cheek bones just a huge face . It’s been 18 months and it seems to only get bigger and bigger ! Face feels tight. I don’t even recognize myself in photos . Hate this stuff !

Hey. Have your sculptra results gotten any better? I have had the same experiencing and I'm praying mind gets better, too. I used to have a beautiful face with striking cheek bones.

im at 2.5 years it’s not getting better. I hate to tell y’all that. I think
it’s worse actually because it appears to be blocking lymph. im
about ready to have this cutout of my face. i need an MRI first.

Sculptra Botch Job
Vivid278988February 19, 2024
I had sculptra done in Dr. Millers establishment. I have lumps under my eyes and bulging cheeks. My temple area has a sharp edge on both sides of my face and this man is telling me that my experience is satisfactory to his expectations. I would never work for a man that has no remorse for the damage done to my face. I had a buckle fat procedure done a few years ago now I am worse than when I had the procedure. I am devastated by my experience. I asked for temple filler not cheeks and under eyes to be filled in. I am so disturbed. I don’t know where to place this energy

i believe the massaging to prevent granulomas is what causes the slurry to move. i have 2 blobs of sculptra in my malar cheek area and it’s really ugly. You are lovely. And i see what you mean about that sharp edge.
we should all know, internalize and fully absorb. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU. youre just a revenue generator. I hate to tell you this but 2.5 years later my situation isn’t better but is worse as gravity is having its way with these little bags of plastic in my face. i have looked at all the things,,, kenalog, steroids. i dont know - Ive chose to do nothing. theres a video on you tube where sculptra is being cut out of a patient’s face. if i do anything it will be that.
i am
so so sorry this happened to you.

I am so so sorry for what you are going through. I am choosing to let product run its course. How many vials of sculptra did they place in your face to cause this ongoing result?
February 26, 2024
just one.

I am so sorry for what you all are going through. If anyone has healed up after such a traumatic experience, please share

it will go down some, give it a year unfortunately .. but it will go down, my has but my issues now is the skin around my eye that it left behind. so hopefully yours was done evenly. They need to get these treatment out of unqualified hands! it is horrendous that is it allowed. I was at a medical office, i assumed everyone was trained probably as they claim...
