The generic unparticle propagator may be modified in two ways. Breaking the conformal symmetry effectively adds a mass term to the propagator, while considering vacuum polarization corrections adds a width-like term. Both of these modifications result naturally from the coupling of the unparticle to standard model (SM) fields. We explore how these modifications to the propagator affect the calculation of the lepton anomalous magnetic moment using an integral approximation of the propagator that is accurate for $d\lesssim1.5$, where $d$ is the unparticle dimension. We find that for this range of $d$ and various values of the conformal breaking scale $\mu$, the value of $g-2$ calculated when allowing various SM fermions to run in the unparticle self-energy loops does not significantly deviate from the value of $g-2$ when the width term is ignored. We also investigate the limits on a characteristic mass scale for the unparticle sector as a function of $\mu$ and $d$.
