Surgeon placed sculptura in neck last July and nodules formed within weeks. He then over treated with Kenalog. Now I have atrophy from kenalog and discoloration. My chief complaint was neck rings and now I have a disfigurement. 2nd opinions say surgically remove nodule but I think a scar would make this even worse. Please tell me what I should do or where to go to have this corrected. Im just sick about it and need an experts skills. Thanks!
Does it need to be injected with kenalog? Is this always the case or can F5U work alone? Do any Dr's here have a success rate with F5U? Collagen won't stop growing and cheeks are pushing up against my eyes, it's so very distressing. 2vials in my 20s and the collagen keeps coming and coming every month. It has also been placed incorrectly which makes it look twice as bad! I am 6 stone and 5'7 and have the face of a fat person 22 months since my last shot!
I understand it is primarily used for nodules but have heard it can help in cases with overfill/collagen overgrowth and has quite a good success rate. I was injected in the wrong place in my cheeks (above the cheekbone and close to the orbital rim) and it has left me looking deformed. Do any Dr's here try this method? What are the success rates? How common is skin atrophy? Thank you.
7 months ago I was injected only 1 vial Sculptra by a board certified plastic surgeon and this was my first injection . I'm very disfigured and I can still feel the soreness comes and goes. The volume is still growing. I've had several kenalog shots and 5FU shots, but after about 2 months my face would plumped again and the volume all came back. All doctors couldn't believe only 1 vial made disfiguration like this .How do I know what was injected?
I'm 3 months post first sculptra injection, but this morning I found two large and hard lumps on cheeks, I feel painful when push them. according to may questions&answers here, I guess I may need sever kenalog shots to break them down. However, I've already got 3 shots to reduce the volume since I don't like the sculptra results. I'm allergic to Methlprenisolone, but I'm ok with very very low dose steriod shots(till now). is there any other option I can choose?
I'm 3months out of 1 vial of sculptra its my first treatment. I don't like the results so that I've got two kenalog injections to reduce volume. Kenalog helps.But I found some hard invisible but large size bumps on my cheeks recently.I massaged it aggressively but it grows bigger suddenlynow the bump is visible and I feel painful when I touch it is that granulomasdid I get infectionwill more lumps developed in futurewhat should I dothank you for answering!
I need to get kenalog shots to help dissolve the sculptra on my face. Ive already have two shots the next would be in 6 weeks . Will those shots cause weight gainit says that some types of steroid like those for back pain or allergymay cause severe weight gain in a single shot.
I have an overfill in my lower face and am desperate to decrease. I don't feel like myself and I can't stand to go like this for 2 years. My lower cheeks and jawline are bloated. Several doctors that I've contacted mention kenalog and then others warn against it. I'm so confused as to what to do. I would like to try something if there is a chance I could remove some of it. I am 7 weeks out from my third round (one too many). Please advise...
