Radiesse for the Cheeks, Does it Migrate to Other Areas? What are Alternatives?

Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Chances of Radiesse migration from cheeks?

I am considering Radiesse to increase lost volume in the cheek area. What is chance of this substance drifting to another area of the face? Is there another product better? Some of the doctors here or no longer using Radiesse.

Hi Lilly,

What do you think we are using here, Silicone? 

Kidding aside, Radiesse will not migrate to other areas after it is injected.  Other products that are used in this area are Juvederm Ultra Plus, Restylane, and Sculptra.

More important than the product is whom you choose to perform your injections.  Choose your injecting physician carefully.

Good luck and be well.
