Risks Of Removing Filler? Will It Affect Underlying Fat? (photo) I am very unhappy with Radiesse injections in my cheeks and am anxious to remove it. Is Hyaluronidase what should be used to dissolve the filler? Most importantly, I'm very concerned about losing underlying fat in my cheeks, is there a risk that I will have less than my natural fullness after this procedure? Thank you so much

A: Radiesse Reversal

Unfortunately hyaluronidase will not dissolve the Radiesse. It is used only for the hyaluronic based fillers. The Radiesse can be removed without any loss in the underlying fat. You should expect less fullness once the filler is removed and seek advice from your board certified specialist.

Can Radiesse Give Me More Symmetry to the Face? (photo) Dear ladies and gentleman, My problem is actually my asymmetric face, caused by my left cheek area, which is siginificantly more adipose than my right cheek site (pls. refer to the images). I already had jaw reduction by using botulinum toxin (10 days ago) and I have had hyularonic acid for cheek augmentation (2 month ago). Can radiesse help me to reshape the left cheek area so that I gets more symmetric with the right site and thus give me more symmetry to the face? Thank you very much!

A: Facial Asymmetry

It is difficult to say without a better evaluation of your face with multiple photo views or in person. Having said that, some asymmetry between both sides of the face is normal. There are ways to achieve more symmetry to the face that are longer lasting than Radiesse or hyaluronics and that have yielded great results.

I Have Restylane in my Cheeks, but Want to Use Radiesse. How Do I Do This? Hello there.I have restylane in my cheeks, but it is starting to dimish. I had quite a lot put in, and its going to leave a saggy face!!!I would like to use radiesse but i don't want to wait until the restylane is all gone. Is it ok to inject radiesse into the cheek where restylane may still be. Very grateful for an answer

A: Radiesse & Restylane

Generally you should not have to wait until the previous filler has dissolved completely before putting in additional filler, whether or not it is the same. However, please consult with a board certified specialist who can evaluate you and make the best recommendation for what you are trying to achieve.

75% of San Francisco reviewers said Radiesse was worth it

	“Pleased with Results! - San...” I have always lacked volume in the midface, and it has become more noticeable with age. I am in my late 20's, and have become paranoid about looking "old" because of it. Additionally, I have/had some lip asymmetry and less-than-prominent chin that benefited from little tweaks here and there. I just went in yesterday for fillers (both Radiesse and Restylane) to my tear trough,... more
	“Radiesse Gave Me Volume Plus High...” My doctor mixes Radiesse with lidocaine so there's virtually no pain involved. I initially got it for increasing lost volume in my face and under eye areas. In my mind, its much better than restylane.I had little bruising and very little swelling. Its thicker than restylane so its much better for taking on the more
	“Radiesse Injected into Nasolabial Folds” I had Radiesse injected into the nasolabial folds just under two weeks ago. It came out well. I am scheduled for a facial/extraction tomorrow and I am slightly worried that my aggressive (but thorough) esthetician may displace the Radiesse. I can't see it under my skin, but when I touch it, I can feel a soft mass. I don't know if it is supposed to feel like this or not, but it looks good so... more
	“Radiesse for Increase in Cheek...” For increase in cheek in volume. Saw great initial improvement. As time goes on- my cheek area appears to have flattened. I suspect I did not get enough Radiesse initially, I am considering getting another injection. The Plastic Surgeon mixed the Radiesse with lidocaine. I felt no discomfort and had minimal swelling. No bruising. I had 1 syringe of Rad more
	“Satisfied, but Will Probably Go Back...” I’m 36, an ex-smoker, and weigh less than 100 pounds, so my facial fat pads are long gone. Thankfully, a little help goes a long way, which is why I’ve been dabbling in fillers for about a year. I’m one day out from having 1 syringe of Radiesse injected into the corners of my mouth, where I’d previously had Juvederm. (I’d also used Juvederm to treat more
	“Radiesse Helped Fill in Sunken Cheeks” I am 48 and tall and quite thin. For the last year people have been commenting more and more on how thin I am. Although my weight hasn't changed, the area under my checks was starting to look "sucked in". Also note that even with this, I look young for my age (late 30's to early 40's) and have very few wrinkles. So, after much hesitation and quite a bit of research I decided to... more
	“A Disaster with Radiesese” The doctor who injected my face filled my face with more than eleven syringes.. 4 months have almost passed.. I still have serious problems.... I walked out of a med spa in San Fransisco looking like an abused victim... I have photos.. I am angry and embarrased at my appearance and speach.. he overfilled me to the point that radiesse and pus were errupting from a excrutiating infection on and... more
	“Bad Experience” I had the Radiesse injected under my eyes to help the small amount of hollowness. The sad thing is i am a nurse and had it done in our office. I was very swollen and i also had a very painful sinus infection. I had to be put on septra for the infection. They said it had nothing to do with the radiesse but i think diffrent. I am olny 29 years old and now have on one side a red papule under my... more
