Post Radiesse Swelling and Hardness Normal 1 Day Post Op? I had Radiesse injected 24 hrs ago. I had cheekbone area, nasolabial folds done and also around my mouth and chin to fix rough texture due to collagen loss and mild acne scarring. Overall, I am happy with the way everything looks so far. I just have two areas I am concerned about-there is a bit of uneveness at the top of the cheekbones-could be due to swelling? There is also a small, semi-solid lump in the chin area. Its a little sore and I can feel it more than see it. Is this normal?

A: Post Radiesse Swelling and Hardness Normal 1 Day Post Op?

I have used Radiesse and Perlane on many patients for facial contouring and shaping. Radiesse does, IMHO, have a tendency to look a bit lumpy and bumpy for several days even after it's smoothed and feathered into the proper aesthetic shape. For this reason, I now use Perlane for shaping the Cheeks. Perlane is also my preferred filler for the nasolabial folds and marrionette lines, although I will use Radiesse here as well.

Radiesse is quite thick and when placed too close to the top of the cheek may show more prominently due to the thin tissue in that area. I tend to avoid placing thicker fillers like Perlane or Radiesse within about 3/8's of an inch or so from the top of the cheek to avoid that issue. Aesthetically, the anterior, mid and lower sections, of the cheek, are the areas best suited for contouring and shaping. Be sure that the MD, you select, for your facial shaping/contouring with fillers understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial beauty for the creation of a naturally, more attractive face.

Can I Skip Radiesse in Nasolabial Folds if Injected in Cheeks? I went for a consultation to get a filler in my nasolabial folds. The Doctor suggested to inject Radiesse in my cheeks instead. Said that they are little flat, and filling them would take care of the nasolabial folds, (no need to inject Radiesse in them). Does this truly work?

A: Can I Skip Radiesse in Nasolabial Folds if Injected in Cheeks?

This makes little sense. Radiesse is a great filler to shape and contour the face. Aesthetically, the cheeks are the most important beauty feature, of the face and as such should be ideally shaped and contoured IMHO. However, if the NLF's are deep, these will not be affected by shaping the cheeks with Radiesse as no volume of filler was placed within the NLF. Treat both if both areas require treatment. I prefer using Perlane to shape the cheeks and fill the NLF's as it is associated with less redness and post treatment lumpiness than Radiesse, IMO.

These differences in opinions on how and where to use fillers, for facial shaping and contouring, highlight the fact that there's no inherent magic with any filler and you must find an MD that understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial beauty for the creation of a naturally, more attractive face. At the end of the day that's what you're really paying for...not the filler but the correct aesthetic knowledge of what, where and how to use the filler in such a way that your face is more attractive.

I was swollen with chipmunk cheeks for about a week, but the radiesse really did the trick.I am only 39 and I didn't have severe jowls or anything... just annoying laugh lines that I wanted to make less noticeable before my high school reunion. The injections hurt substantially but once thos more
	“Asymmetrical Lumps After Radience in...” I had lost some volume in my lips and wanted to bring them back to thier youthful fullness.It has been 5 years and I still have lumps. Radiance from what I was informed would go away by now so not sure what it is inside.Is there a facial plastic surgeon in the Los Angeles area that has had any experience and success in removing Radiance? I had my lips injected in 2004, now have asymmetrical lumps. more
	“Radiesse Really is Worth It...” I had Radiesse in my labio folds, and to fill one of my cheekbones that was not as large as the other (subtle).I love the results, and will be going back for more.

	“Radiesse, Not Sure About It Yet” I just turned 51 and thought finally to do something about my lines. I went for many consultations and done none, too much of a chicken. A friend of my referred me to her DR. D.O. for Botox. I just went Friday and was talked into using 2 syringes of Radiesse. It suppose to last 1 year. I had my smile lines done and the droopiness on the sides of my mouth. The procedure was extremely painful.... more
	“WOW! This Stuff Works.” I went in to have a few acne scars filled after having done 6 Fraxels over the last 2 years. I was very happy with my results from the fraxel but still had a couple of deep acne scars that Fraxel alone would not fix. When I talked to the Dr., he also recommended I have some Radiesse to help with my under eye troughs. I am 40 and never had cheek bones and so my under eyes and cheeks were... more
	“Cheek Bones At Last...” I wanted cheekbones. I have a thin face and thin skin. I'm 47 and never had good bones really. The Radiesse has given me the most natural cheek bones. It looks like I've had implants. It's lifted my whole face. I could not be more pleased. I tried Perlane before but the results were no-where as good as Radiesse. I had some swelling which went overnight and minimal brusing and not a lump... more
	“So Far, So Good” I got Radiesse for nasolabial fold and for the deep hollow area my eyes. The nasolabial folds took one treatment. At first, I could feel hard ridges from my nose to the corner of my mouth and it looked like I had had something injected. The bruising and swelling lasted for about three weeks but those lines are completely gone and the filler has softened so I can't feel it under my skin. The... more
	“Mixed Results” The first time I received Radiesse for naslabial folds, it wasn't bad. It did look a bit strange when I smiled, and I could see the material, however it did fill out the folds somewhat. The results lasted about 6 months. I had a second treatment done 8 months later, the doctor saying that he was using a slightly different technique so I wouldn't see the solid line of material. Right afterwards... more
	“Waste if $$$$$” Looked good for a short period of time,after 3 months couldn't even tell anything was done, very disappointed with the results, had a touch-up with another product forgot name didn't last either. after several visits I had a touch-up the dr gave me a discount still didn't take. by the way restylane wasn't any better. more
	“Not What Its Cracked Up to Be” I had Radiesse injected eight months ago and I am VERY DISAPPOINTED with the results. I still have the very wrinkles around my mouth and naso-labial folds. I feel this product does not live up to its promises and am now looking at lasers for correction. The doctor'f office I had the treatment at said this was the best treatment for me and that I should see results six months but I have seen... more
	“LOVE IT!” I had a National trainer (she trains plastic surgeons) do the injections. Step one she numbed me with injections--very smooth only felt a little pinch. Then she started injecting me with Radiesse on nasal folds and also on upper cheeks. I initially went in for just nasal fold but she noticed that one side of my face was uneven (this is due to previous bad plastic surgery a mid face... more
	“Loved the Intial Results but They...” I've always had a thin face and now in my early 50s my cheeks were looking very sunken in which emphasized the marionette lines. In the consultation, my clinician highly recommended Radiesse over Restylane, mainly because it would last longer; he said approximately 18 months. I required 3 syringes which was more than we both expected. Although it was expensive for me, I was very pleased,... more
