If you ask this type of question then there is some MINOR concern in your mind to the risk/benefit ratio. As all the other posters have stated it is a very unlikely relationship, but if you have ANY doubt than delay the operation for 30 days. This should give you peace of mind. My personal opinion is there is... more
Can Radiesse affect breast augmentation surgery and result?
I'm considering having a non-surgical Rhinoplasty via Radiesse injection. If this Radiesse injection is done a week or 2 weeks before breast augmentation surgery, will Radiesse (or the anesthetic used for Radiesse injection) cause complication in breast augmentation surgery? Will it increase the chance of capsular contracture? Will it increase chance of infection? Thank you in advance for answering my question.

Most physicians would agree that comsetic use of fillers can be done just before or after breast augmentation. Any injection could theoretically risk an infection or abscess. This is extremely rare, but should it occur close to the time of breast surgery, there could be a chance that bacteria can... more

A: Capsular Contracture and Scarring after Breast Implants
There are many risks factors for breast implant capsular contracture that we are unaware of, despite countless basic and clinical science research studies. In theory, however, the risks of Radiesse injection seem to be independent of the risks of capsular contracture
A: No
There is no added risk of complications with breast augmentation from any dermal filler, including Radiesse. Be sure your plastic surgeon knows your entire history and any experiences you have had with any cosmetic procedure. Good luck.
A: radiesse and breast augmentation
Hi Rita. The short answer to your question is no. Radiesse remains where it is injected. I know of no studies that show distant migration of Radiesse or any other facial filler for that matter. In addition, there is no evidence that shows surgical complications in the setting of distant Radiesse use. Go ahead... more
