Fat injections after Radiesse
Fat injections, fat grafting, fat transfer all refer to a technique of taking fat from one are of a patient and moving it to another area deficient in volume. Results of fat injections are not guaranteed. There are many variables that might interfere with the "take" of the graft. One of these influences is the surrounding circulation. If there is less oxygen available to the new cells that don't have their own oxygen supply, then the fat cells might die. The prior filler might...

Radiesse and fat injection or graft or lipoinjection
Fat grafting may be possible after radiesse. Generally, I would wait about 3 weeks. IF it is in the exact same area, I would wait 3 months. Radiesse is composed of primarily two ingredients one of which takes 3 months to absorb and make the product softer and less cohesive. IF fat injection were perfromed prior to this the cohesive (lumpy) quality of the radiesse could interfere with placement of the fat.

Fat Grafting to the Face After Radiesse Injections
Hi Em,
It depends on how much Radiesse was injected, where, and when.
The goal of fat tranfer to the face is to achieve a permanent result. Therefore it is important that your fat transfer physician has the best idea of where you need volume replacement at the time of your procedure.
You should wait until the effects of Radiesse have disappeared, and then have your fat transfer.
Good luck and be well.

The plastic surgeon will be able to better determine how much fat to transfer, since fat has the potential of permanent facial rejuvenation...

Fat grafting after Radiesse
If you are trying to convert from a temporary filler such as Radiesse to a possibly more permanent filler such as fat, I would recommend you wait until most all of the Radiesse is gone so your doctor will know how much fat they need to inject. I would suggest you consider just re-doing the Radiesse at that time however because not all fat grafts take and they do require a surgical procedure to harvest the fat.
