Is Continuous Radiesse Better Than a Gore-Tex Implant to Raise the Nose Bridge? If I am too scared of Rib Grafting.

A: Radiesse for Nasal Augmentation, Rib graft, Gore-Tex

I have personally used all of the material you are mentioning for nasal augmentation. I agree that the rib harvest is a more demanding surgery and recovery. I see no long term problems with the conservative (although off-lable) use of Radiesse for raising the nasal bridge with virtually no down-time. Best Regards, Dr. Todd Hobgood

What Can I Do About Radiesse Lumps? I had Radiesse done around my nasal folds and corners of my mouth area, and now I have 1 large bump on the inside of the left corner of my mouth. When I open it you can see white, and when I smile, in the crack at the corner you see a large bump. It makes my smile funny looking, and my teeth hit it when I eat. Is there anything I can do?????

Please help...

A: Radiesse Lumps Can Be Massaged to Soften the Result

Radiesse is a fantastic material. I have been using this product since 2003 and injected over 50 syringes last month. Having said that, it is a thicker filler and is generally placed into the deeper subcutaneous tissues (fat planes). Once in place, it cannot be dissolved like the hyaluronic acid products.

I have recommended that patients who experience a lump after radiesse apply heat with warm compresses and use bimanual massage to move and contour the area. This actually works. Good luck! Be sure to stay in touch with your surgeon. Stay Healthy!

Is Radiesse Good for Lip Augmentation? A lot of people talk about how good and are for lip augmentation, but I want something more permanent. Is it safe/effective to get lip injections of Radiesse?

A: Radiesse is a great product but should not be used for lip augmentation.

The risk of nodule formation is too great to justify injecting Radiesse in the lips. This risk is much lower with the hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, and Prevelle.

	“Radiesse Injection - Scottsdale, AZ” I just had Radiesse injected to the upper cheeck bone area. I now have a darkened /blueish discolaration in both the eye areas that extends from the inner corner of the eye and leads down to the injection point. I want to know if this is going to be permanent? It seems to has gotten worse over the last 24 hours. Has any one had this happen? more
	“Loving It - Scottsdale, AZ” Just turned 30 and am starting to see signs of drooping and aging. I haven't tried any fillers or botox so I was a little scared. It helps to do your research, I went to a variety of different places for consults to see which one I liked best. I'm glad I did my research. I started with 1 syringe on my nasal fold, cheeks, and chin. Loved the results right away, although subtle. Went... more
	“Very Pleased with Doctor and Results...” I had Radiesse for the hollows around my temples. The medi spa has a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere and a medical doctor does all the injections. I had received botox injections before, but it was the first time for receiving Radiesses injections. The doctor explained the procedure in detail. That was a great relief because I was concerned about injections so close to my eyes and the... more
	“Radiesse nightmare” Injected 2 weeks ago and came out looking great. Today my face is swollen, my eyes have blue puffy sites under them, cheeks look like a chipmunk. Will never do this again. more
	“Radiesse Injected Under Eyes Ruined...” I went in just to have my marionette lines around my mouth filled. The doctor I was seeing brought up the idea that I had a sunken area under my eyes that would look much better filled in. I had never even noticed it before. I stopped her after she started injecting under my eye, because I said I only bought 2 syringes and wanted to address what I came in for. So she only did the one eye... more
	“Loved the Long Lasting Results” My experience was excellent with minimal bruising. I had it in my cheeks, & marionette lines. It was a very natural result, giving me a youthful apperance! I am told it stimulates your body to grow collagen, which goes away as you age. I just used a little ice after the treatment and arnica montana (sinecch). Make sure you have a good doctor or nurse with experience do any injection. So far... more
