Question

Results of Sculptra and Perlane cheek injections gone after 4 days

I just had a vial of Sculptra and a cc of Perlane injected in my cheeks to correct asymmetry from cheek implants. I loved how it looked on the day of the injection, but 4 days later, it looks as if I never had the fillers injected at all. What do you think has happened? I spent $2000 and don't see any benefit at all.
