How long will it take for my Sculptra symptoms to fade?

I had Sculptra alomst 3 weeks ago. Now, my right cheek is red, swollen and it seems to stick out. How long will it take for this to go down? I look nowhere near what I looked like before the procedure. Please help!

It's hard to say without a photo. You should go see your practitioner to make sure all is OK. If the site is red, it could be a sign of infection. We recommend that our Sculptra patients massage the area for 2 weeks after the procedure to smooth the product and prevent the formulation of granulomas or other immune responses. Good luck.

I would suggest going back to your provider and asking them to evaluate you! Three weeks out is plenty of time for any injection site effects to be resolved, so I would have the injector take a look!
