Receding Chin - Am I a Candidate for Radiesse? Well I have what looks like a receding chin because I have an overbite. It game me a double chin also. I have no interest in breaking my jaw to realign my bite, me and my family are strongly against surgery for any reason unless its life saving. With that said I was considering to have Radiesse injections to see if I like the look and if I do I would possibly consider a chin implant in the future. Do you think this would be possible? I've attached pics of my chin/face. Thank you

A: chin implant and liposuction.

Judging by your picture and history, I think a trial of Radiesse would be a waste of time. I would suggest you have a chin implant and submental liposuction . A chin implant can be removed if you don't like it. .

Radiesse to Fill in Nose? I have a "divit" in my nose because too much cartilage/bone was taken out to in rhinoipplasy 25 years ago. I am told Radiesse could fill in the area--directly under the bridge to complement the other side of my nose, which is normal, and allow my glasses to stop sliding down. I am afraid of side effects.

A: Filling in nasal defect

Any Injectables filler in the nose has its advantages and disadvantages. If you are planning on some long term filler such as Radiesse or silicone, it should be done with multiple sessions to build up the correction. My personal approach to such a situation is to use a degradable filler such as Restylane, Juvederm or Collagen to see if injectable fillers can achieve a satisfactory correction. This way you can know the approximate needed volume and if the result is not satisfactory, it will go away. The hyaluronic acid products might be best as the effect can be reversed with an injection of Hyaluronidase.

	“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
	“Nasolabial Folds & Marionette Lines...” I am 37 and had radiesse injected about two months ago for nasolabial folds and slight onset of marionette lines.Cons: swelling, puffiness, soreness, bruising (soreness and bruising especially around the corners of the mouth!) continued for several weeks...when actually the Radiesse website and my Doctor's office give the impression 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
