Inflammation from Radiesse

Radiesse to the nose left me with a giant hump on the nose! It's been a few weeks and it hasn't improved. Massage makes it even worse and it immediately puffs up! How can I tell if it's the Radiesse bulking it up or inflammation? If it is inflammation what can help? Please, I'm desperate!

A: Inflammation after Radiesse Injection

It is hard to tell from your description whether this is temporary swelling or whether too much product was placed into the nasal area.  I would suggest seeing the physician that administered the Radiesse and have them take a look.  If the area becomes painful, red or tender, see your doctor immediately as these are symptoms of an infection and if left untreated, could lead to more serious complications.

Is Radiesse Dangerous?

A doctor recommended Radiesse for my smile lines. I've read somewhere that since it doesn't dissolve naturally, you can be left with big lumps and bumps after treatment. Is this true?

A: Radiesse Concerns

Radiesse is an excellent filler if skillfully injected. It is a active filler, in that it stimulates collagen formation. The calcium crystals in it break down naturally after two years. It is one of the best volumizers, and cc per cc, when compared with hyaluronic acid has the best value.

Radiesse should be avoided under the eyes, in the tear trough, and in the lips.
