Do you get lumps from Sculptra?
Can you get lumps from Sculptra?
Sculptra nodules (granulomas) are small, firm bumps that can occasionally occur after treatment with Sculptra. They are rare and are usually associated with incorrect injection technique or insufficient aftercare. When performed by an experienced and qualified practitioner, lumps are uncommon and often barely noticeable. In many cases, they resolve on their own over time.
Main causes
Factor | Description |
|---|---|
Incorrect injection depth | Sculptra must be placed at the correct depth in the dermis to ensure even distribution. |
Insufficient massage | Proper aftercare massage helps distribute the product evenly and reduces the risk of lumps. |
Individual predisposition | Some patients may be more prone to developing granulomas than others. |
