It's probably only Radiesse and don't worry as long as it looks good visually

David Hansen, MD answers: Can Radiesse cause lumps inside cheeks?

Almost 4 weeks ago, I had smile lines injected with Radiesse and was very pleased with the visual results. However, I now have some very large knots on the inside of my cheeks. I feel it has something to do with the injections, since they certainly were not there prior to the injections

Since it has been 4 weeks already, then any bleeding from the injections has resolved so it probably is not a hematoma or blood clot.  Most likely it is only the Radiesse.  If you had deep creases then the physician probably had to use a lot of material to fill in the lines.  You will get use to the feeling and don't let it bother you.  As time goes by you will forget all about the feeling the bumps.  Let's hope the visual effect lasts a year or longer .  That's what you are doing it for anyway!

The bumps can be broken up by your physician but I wouldn't do it since the nice visual effect will go down sooner if you have the lumps broken up.  Before long you will forget all about them.
