Which one brings more results for eye hollows; Radiesse or Juvederm?
I would not use Radiesse for the eye hollow because in that area the skin is too thin and there is high probability to see bumps or irregularities. The best filler for that area is Restylane but one has to be careful to avoid injection in a blood vessel because it could cause blindness. I only use a blunt canula to inject that area. This will avoid an intravascular injection and is almost painless and bruiseless.
I am in my late 20's and have had Radiesse for treatment of fat loss in my face before (tear troughs/naso labial area), namely as a result of weight loss. I have lines/folds in my cheeks that are prominent when I smile, and have only gotten worse as I've gotten older and lost weight. I have provided pictures. Are these folds/lines in my cheeks something that I could treat with Radiesse, to achieve a smooth cheek when I smile - WITHOUT having chipmunk cheeps when not smiling? Thank you!
Smile lines on the cheeks are usually a result of volume loss in the upper and midface, particularly the temples and the lateral and central upper cheeks. This volume loss can happen in the bony structures, fat, or soft tissues of the face. When volume is lost, the skin does not have the support it needs and it descends, forming wrinkles and folds.
The best approach to correcting that is to replenish the volume in the upper and midface. The increased volume in the upper face will improve the smile lines without giving a chipmunk appearance. If filler is needed in the lines themselves, it should be significantly less if the upper portions are filled first.
Radiesse or Sculptra would be my revolumizers of choice in this case.
I had Radiesse injected along my jawline in June 2011. Overall,I am happy with the results. However,along my right jawline,I can feel and actually move around a small lump. And I think it may be causing some minor jowling as well. I wouldn't call it a painful lump,maybe a little tender when pressed upon,but otherwise causes no pain and there's no redness associated with it. Is this is a side effect nodule of radiesse,how long to go away? Thanks!
Whether to be concerned about nodules after Radiesse injection depends on what the cause of the nodule is and when it appeared. If the nodule appeared immediately afterwards, it could be some Radiesse deposited in a small area or a resolving hematoma from the injection. Acne can also be exacerbated by injections in the area.
If the nodule is Radiesse itself, it will take up to a year to dissolve. A hematoma should resolve in 1-2 weeks.
If the nodule appeared later, it could be an allergic reaction to Radiesse or potentially even a late-onset inflammation or infection.
I recommend an evaluation by your injecting physician or a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with training and experience in Radiesse injections. Sometimes just a small intralesional injection of Kenalog and a short course of antibiotics can help resolve persistent nodules.
