Radiesse or Juvaderm Ultra Plus for Jowl, Smile Lines and Nose?

I am 35 and am getting a jowl. I had planned to get Radiesse for the jowl and nasolabial lines - 1 vial recco. I also have a slight bump on my nose that I'd like to try to feather out with some filler. I have used juvaderm ultra for the smile lines before (1 syringe split) and have never had the jowl or nose done. I am a little concerned that Radiesse is prone to lumps? Would I be better off using juvaderm ultra plus? I think radiesse is more cost effective though?

A: Radiesse for Pre-Jowl and Nose

Radiesse is great option for the areas you have described. If injected well you should not get any lumps. Juvederm could be used also, but for the areas you have described, you will get good longer lasting results with Radiesse without risking feeling the product.

Is There an over the Counter Med I Can Take to Help Reduce Swelling After Filler Injections?

I had a combo of Radiesse for my jawline and mouth corners and restalyne for my lip lines. It's been almost 24 hours and I have been icing the area. But is there an over the counter med I can take to reduce the swelling? I read something about Zyrtec and Benedryl. Is that helpful?

A: Arnica for Swelling after Fillers

I would highly recommend taking some oral Arnica Montana to help reduce any swelling or bruising after filler injections. It is homeopathic, safe, inexpensive and available at health food stores. Icing the areas will certainly help also.

Does the Rule of One Syringe Per Client Apply to Radiesse Filler?

Are MA's allowed to use mixing hubs to make full syringes of radiesse from partial used syringes from other clients to then be used on you? I was at a highly reputable medspa today when I asked for my radiesse touch up on my nose. I thought I had a remaining 3/4 of a syringe, but the assistant let it slip that they don't save your original to use on you. I was injected by one of these partially used syringes, should that pose a concern to me? Was it ethical for him to want to charge me more $?

A: Radiesse

The rule is one syringe per patient. To mix partial syringes for patient use is unethical and dangerous. Make certain your surgeon is a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon, Plastic Surgeon, or Dermatologist. I would also suggest that you find a new surgeon immediately!
