Can I Wear Swim Googles the Day After Getting Radiesse Injections Under my Eyes?

Can I Wear Swim Googles the Day After Getting Radiesse Injections Under my Eyes?

A: Wearing swim goggles after Radiesse injection

It would be a bad idea to wear swim goggles the day after a Radiesse injection around the eyes. Pressure exerted on an area over a filler injection may lead to displacement of the filler, which could compromise the final result.

Over a Year Later and Bumps from Radiesse Still in Upper Lip, What's The Cause and How Can It Be Fixed? (photo)

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?

A: Radiesse - Bumps in Upper Lip

Most physicians would be hesitant to inject Radiesse into the lips since it has a tendency to 'lump up' in this location, causing palpable and visible bumps, such as yours. There is no injection that I know of that will cure or speed up the resolution of these bumps. Early on, vigorous massage may help break up the bump. Typically Radiesse should be almost completely dissolved by now. If you really can't wait, a small local excision under local anesthesia could be performed.   Best of Luck  Dr Harrell
