Post Radiesse Swelling and Hardness Normal 1 Day Post Op? I had Radiesse injected 24 hrs ago. I had cheekbone area, nasolabial folds done and also around my mouth and chin to fix rough texture due to collagen loss and mild acne scarring. Overall, I am happy with the way everything looks so far. I just have two areas I am concerned about-there is a bit of uneveness at the top of the cheekbones-could be due to swelling? There is also a small, semi-solid lump in the chin area. Its a little sore and I can feel it more than see it. Is this normal?

A: bruising after Radiesse What you are describing sounds like normal post-procedure swelling. You can ice the area (and should have done that beginning yesterday) to ameliorate it. Some areas, especially over bone, bruise more than others so you'd need to give it some time before there would be reason for concern.

Are Radiesse Injections Affected by Microdermabrasion or Skin Tyte Trx? Are Radiesse Injections Affected by Microdermabrasion or Skin Tyte Trx?

A: Radiesse Affected by Other Skin Treatments?

Superficial procedures such as microdermabrasion, Silkpeel Dermalinfusion or superficial chemical peeling will not affect the results of Radiesse injections as Radiesse is injected beneath the skin and these treatments are directed toward's the skin's surface. Skin tightening by laser is achieved by stimulating the collagen and causing collagen contraction. Radiesse also works by stimulating collagen as well. In my practice, I prefer to avoid filler and laser treatments on the same day, but they can easily be performed on different days.

Risks Of Removing Filler? Will It Affect Underlying Fat? (photo) I am very unhappy with Radiesse injections in my cheeks and am anxious to remove it. Is Hyaluronidase what should be used to dissolve the filler? Most importantly, I'm very concerned about losing underlying fat in my cheeks, is there a risk that I will have less than my natural fullness after this procedure? Thank you so much

A: Removing Filler From Face

There is a product called hyaluronidase which will dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm; however, it has no effect on Radiesse. For the sake of not making it worse, I would recommend just waiting for the Radiesse to go away which will take anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Some people recommend massage or gentle pressure to the treated areas to expedite the process, but I do not agree as I think either or both can make it worse. I would just leave the areas alone.

“Radiesse Has Given my Face an Uneven...”

Radiesse is quite unforgiving. If it is at all overdone or injected unevenly, it shows. To make matters worse, it takes a long time to disappear unlike restylane or juvederm, which can be eliminated if the patient is displeased. I had it done to conceal the hollows forming in my cheeks. I now seem to have implants on the upper part of my cheeks, and the hollows below are more pronounced... more
