Can I Skip Radiesse in Nasolabial Folds if Injected in Cheeks?

I went for a consultation to get a filler in my nasolabial folds. The Doctor suggested to inject Radiesse in my cheeks instead. Said that they are little flat, and filling them would take care of the nasolabial folds, (no need to inject Radiesse in them). Does this truly work?

A: Radiesse in cheeks can minimize nasolabial folds

Having not seen your photo, I will answer in general terms.  I LOVE the idea of first revolumizing the cheeks and mid face with Radiesse or a hyaluronic acid filler when there is evident volume loss.  Replacing volume and support to the overlying skin, often diminishes significantly the appearance of the nasolabial folds.  For the most natural, and usually the most satisfying outcome, slow and steady wins the race.  I would follow your doctors suggestion to first fill your cheeks and then assess a further need for nasolabial fillers at your two week and/or one month follow up.  Best of luck.

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
