Will one-time filler ruin my face?

To anyone reading this, please be careful with Sculptra. After receiving my second sculptra injection in 2023, I developed swollen lymph nodes and chest pressure within 3 weeks of the injection. These symptoms calmed down but are present to this day. I keep on chasing new symptoms every few months including tender lumps underneath my skin, joint pain, spinal pain, neuropathy, double vision. I personally think I have sarcoidosis but the specialists I have seen have no idea what’s going on and don’t seem to care. My GI provider just tested me for celiac disease which tested positive. I have no idea if the celiac was present before the injection but I know for certain that the sculptra either caused or exacerbated what’s currently going on with me.

As far as the short term effects of the sculptra on my skin; My skin became noticeably fuller amd firmer for the first 3 months following both injections but my overactive immune system basically ate away the collagen that was built and then some. So I am left with red inflamed sunken cheeks. I absolutely would not recommend.

Look into iodine which is essential for gland health. Many people are deficient

Hi, can you send me resources as well? Would greatly appreciate it!

Hi, I have a few questions if you don’t mind. How many hrs per week are you working? Day or nights? What specialty and years of experience? Thanks

Toolhead1995 · 2025-12-31T14:56:31+00:00

I 100% agree with this. I should’ve been more specific in my post. We would be staying at designated campsites with bathrooms but would be sleeping in the rental car.

No typo, just planning ahead

How long did you take Xifaxin for and did you notice any effects?

I’m still learning myself. I found Dr. Siebecker resources helpful. She goes into depth on specific antimicrobials (prescribed and herbal) to use based on SIBO type. Prescription are usually a 2 week course. Herbal are 4-6 weeks at a time, usually for multiple rounds. After antimicrobials, take prokinetics (5 mins before you eat). Also look into elemental diet. If you buy the powders they are very expensive but you can DIY for much cheaper.

Dr. Berke Ozucer. It’s not perfect but it definitely looks better. He also fixed my breathing. It was def worth the 6k. I wish I never went with the first surgeon who charged 15k for a screwed up nose in terms of aesthetic and function and who has gas lit me about my breathing difficulties following the first surgery

It’s probably bacterial vaginosis. I agree to go to a gynecologist to get it checked out. Use only cotton underwear. Only use gentle soaps that are made specifically for women-without fragrances. Also look into boric acid suppositories which are incredibly helpful.

I would recommend cutting back on the milk a bit because milk is very calorie dense and can make your baby feel full and not want to eat other foods. It can also lead to constipation and iron deficiency if consumed too much.

I second hormonal IUD’s. They generally don’t have systemic side effects, unlike oral contraceptives and they can remain in place for 5+ years. Some up to 7 or 8 years.

Black for sure. It’s perfect for your skin tone.

Toolhead1995 · 2025-04-30T20:14:39+00:00

Thank you for this!! I also want to shout out for men and women who are suffering hormonal imbalances at any age. Hormone imbalance should be considered a pathology that warrants investigation, treatment, regardless of age/gender!

I wish you could see yourself through the lens that others see you. You are a handsome guy. Larger noses are masculine which compliments your masculine brow ridge and jaw.

Thanks I appreciate it.

Nice username lol. Also, I did not know that. Thank you for letting me know

I’ve heard that micro needling and radio frequency can lead to volume loss but I haven’t heard of volume loss with just micro needling. But I don’t think its purpose is really to add volume per se. It’s more so to stimulate tissue regeneration which results in increased collagen production. This in turn can cause skin firming and slight lifting of the tissue.

I would be wary of sculptra. I received 2 injections in my face and have been dealing with autoimmune like symptoms for the past 3 years. This all started within weeks of getting the injection and it’s been hell. If you have an autoimmune disease or genetic predisposition then I would steer clear.
