Distorted Facial Shape After Jawline Sculptra Injections
There really isn't any "standard injection" pattern for Sculptra (or any other filler for that matter). The injection areas and volume need to be specifically tailored for each patient's particular facial shape and for each patient's concern. Sculptra will reduce in profile with time. You may be seeing post-injection swelling right now, and will likely have a better idea of your post-injection contour in about a week. The effects of Sculptra itself fade gradually, with results typically lasting up to about two years. Express your concerns to your plastic surgeon.
Clinical Context
Sculptra works by stimulating your own collagen over time, so results build gradually and can look different from side to side while post-injection swelling settles. Early unevenness is usually swelling or uneven collagen buildup, not a permanent asymmetry, and it typically improves over the following weeks. If one area still looks different after swelling resolves, your surgeon can even things out with a touch-up injection. Following up in person is the best way to know whether you're seeing normal healing or something that needs correction.
