Should I Try a Different Filler to Correct Poor Radiesse Results? A Radiesse injection left an indentation in one cheek. The attempt at correction made it worse.

Should I hope it will go back to normal in time or try to have to another filler placed in indenation?

A: Radiesse complications

Radiesse is an injectable form of calcium hydroxylapatite and tends to be thicker than hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Radiesse generally lasts aound 9 months, but traces of the product can remain for longer than one year.

Rarely, granulomas can form after Radiesse injections. These are areas of inflammation that can present as a red, tender lump. Small amounts of steroids injected locally can help in the resolution of granulomas. Massage may also be of benefit.

A depression caused by scar tissue after inflammation such as a granuloma may be treated with subcision with a needle or a wire scalpel. Further injections with another class of filler may also disguise a visibile irregularity.

In most cases, these complications are self-resolving and many patients are happier after receiving reassurance.

	“I'll Never Live with Flat Cheeks Again!” I always had flat cheek bones and wanted them higher and more define but did not want the downtime with cheek implant surgery. I did a lot of research of fillers and found that radiesse was great for cheekbone augmentation and lasting too. The filler gives more volume for the amount compared to juvederm or restylane and somehow mimics the bony structure too. The injection itself was a breeze.... more
	“Radiesse Used As a Test to Fill in...” I am a 62 year old woman who had a facelift in January 2008. Basically it turned out well, but I was very unhappy about the wrinkles that were on my checks. They are not smile lines, but fine wrinkles no less. Most likely due to an aging face which looses it volume. I always thought that you could lay on the floor and hold a mirror to your face and that would indicate the way your face would... more
