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?
My compliments to your doctor. Because the FDA approves fillers in the nasolabial fold, that is all that can be advertised by the manufacturer. Revolumizing the cheeks is more important that filling the nasolabial fold. Advanced injectors always address flat cheek before filling the nasolabial folds. It is an "off label" use of fillers like Radiesse and Perlane, but it is very much the standard of care. Stay tuned for Voluma from Allergan that likely will be the first filler approved for cheeks.
I have several small calcium oxylate kidney stones now. I am concerned that the calcium in Radiesse might increase my changes of getting more stones. I would only be getting one tube of the Radiesse in marrionette lines and a little into the nasolabial fold.
The injection of the Radiesse will not cause systemic calcium absorption. If you are concerned about the result or long term side effect, you can try Juvederm or Restylane.
I had radiesse injected in my cheeks about 18 months ago and was pleased with the results. Now it's time to do it again but I've moved so I can't go to the cosmetic surgeon who did it. It seems like everyone around me only has the nurses do the injections and it's just a Medispa. Is it a good idea to go to them for injections, especially radiesse? Or is it better to just go to a surgeon for injections?
Why would you have anyone but a physician inject fillers into your face? And that physician should be highly trained and experienced such a dermatologist. In my experience, many physicians who delegate filler injections are often not interested, or not properly trained themselves.
