10 months post Treatment #4, Almost Sept 2019 (pics are 8 months out ((july))
Hi All!!
Sorry this is a long while since last update! I meant to report something sooner. I am still more than pleased with my results and how they have even improved over the years since first treatments. My face is still very voluminous and I am hoping I can wait a little extra time before next treatment this time. Comparing photos, my cheeks are as plump as ever and the results have lasted a while. Results still are very even in appearance and very natural. I have nothing to complain about!!

1 week post Treatment #4 , November 20th
I decided to jump on the opportunity to get treatment #4 of the Sculptra injected in my NL folds and cheeks. This time I think I have a slight complication.
Let me first talk about poor choice of timing. I got my Sculptra 2 days prior to thanksgiving. So I felt puffy and unusual in presence of the family!! No one knows I get these treatments still FYI... Being that I was faced with daily family things for the 5 days following I could not massage as long and as often as needed.
This time I did notice my left cheek/eye area hurt more than other times. I have also always had a little nodule under left eye that cannot be seen. But this time around felt more swelling and bruisieness in that area. Now, a week post, I have noticed pain seems to be getting worse again. There is a dull swelling pain under eye and in upper cheek near the orbital area/tear trough. I tried massaging through the day to flatten out any new possible nodules. But the pain seems to be further up than the injection went , unless it some how migrated?? I have no idea. But I am a bit nervous about this. I am going on a trip in two days , so I have to figure this out.
If this truly is an infection I hope a simple round of antibiotics can resolve. I hope it just is related to placement of hte nodule and that swelling/pain will settle down. Maybe I should ask advice to Dr.s on here!! Gah, not what I wanted to go through ever. I was so excited with Sculptra in previous treatments and hopign this doesn't spoil it ....or ruin my face forever. :'(

11 MONTHS POST #3
It is now 11 months post treatment #3 and yes I do see it diminishing a fair amount (but not completely) I guess some parts show the deflation more than others . Like my cheeks do still appear fuller than they normally would be (maybe in part to being overwieght too) but my marionette line (nasolabial folds) are deeper than they were in the summer, which is my main push to go get another treatment! I was hoping to wait until Jan...but yick I hate those creases next to mouth! :O
