Radiesse was injected in my hands and I am still swollen. Is this normal?

Asked By:dorothyeast in Bayside, NY

Hello there, I had radiesse injected in my hands. Tomorrow will be two weeks and I am swollen, more on my right hand. I am getting a little worry. I've had juvederm injected on my face and never had any side effects. I understand radiesse is thicker and the hands' skin is very thin. Is it time to go back to the doctor who performed the procedure? Or should I wait a couple more days.
