It was recommended to me that I get Radiesse only on my upper lip since it is thinner then my bottom. Within a few days I noticed a bump on the inside of my lip. I returned and was injected with a dissolver twice. It is now over a year and the bump is still there. I can move it around, bite down on it and when I pinch it I can feel it flatten out. It does not hurt but it bothers me. When I stretch out my lip it looks like white material bumpy material. What do I do? What is the bump?
Hello,
I am sorry to read about your unfortunate experience with lip augmentation. In my practice, Radiesse is only used in the nasolabial folds, the marionette lines, and other deep, thick tissues. I believe this filler to be too thick for application in the lips or around the eyes.
Unlike Juvederm or Restylane, there is no “dissolver” for Radiesse. The expected duration of Radiesse is 12 to 18 months. You have the option to continue to wait for the material to be resorbed. However, given that it is has already been a year, I think it reasonable to remove it. A small incision on the under side of your lip can be used to evacuate the remaining Radiesse. If there is scar tissue in the area, which appears possible in the photo, this can also be removed at the same time.
Hope this helps.
My sister in law and I both had the radiasse with lidocaine five days ago, we are both itchy all over. so bad we can't sleep. we both had itchy rashes at injection site. now we both are very itchy on our backs, chest, arms , head and neck.
Both you and your sister-in-law should contact the physician that performed the procedure. The timing, location, and characteristics of your symptoms relate them to the injectable session. Itching and rash are indicative of allergy, which has available and effective treatments.
Can I Wear Swim Googles the Day After Getting Radiesse Injections Under my Eyes?
This and similar “is it ok” questions are best answered by the physician performing the procedure. They will have specific knowledge about your care what to expect after the procedure. That being said, I would advise my patient to wait at least a week before wearing goggles after a filler was placed around the eyes.
