Juvederm over Radiesse

I had a non surgical nose job done with Radiesse and am unhappy with the results. If I had Juvederm (hylauronic acid) injected to even out the nose would it hurt the absorption rate of the Radiesse (calcium hydroxyapatite) ? (I don't want any more Radiesse, so it can dissolve and I can get a proper rhinoplasty done.)

A: Rhinoplasty and fillers

Fillers are very tricky in the nose area, they may be injected too superficially and may cause irreversible changes to the skin, which complicates a rhinoplasty procedure.

Furthermore, the rate of absorption in the nose is much slower than in other parts, such as the nasolabial folds.

I would opt to wait until all the filler has disappeared, and would certainly not get any more injected.

Seek a rhinoplasty specialist in your area when deciding on your surgery to maximize your outcome.

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: One Rule Syringe

The risk of cross-contamonation is not worth a couple 100's dollars. I would find a more reputable source for injections.
