I personally wait 2 weeks after either procedure to do the other. This isn't set in stone but it is my preference.. Certainly you do not need to wait months between the treatments.

I had Sculptra 2 years ago, then Botox. Injections were in my forehead & corners of my eyes. I did this 2X a year thereafter. The lumps in my cheeks appeared about 1 mo after Botox. Injector doesn't think they are related to injections, since Sculptra was so long ago. I'm afraid the bumps are going to get bigger. They are on both sides of my face, predominately the left side. I also have constant pressure in my temples & pain in my jaw. I had a CT scan, but it found no cause. What should I do?
