Do you hate your after Radiesse look?
Just had radiesse injected for laugh lines wrinkles. My dermatologist also filled in the cheek area to lift the heavy fold. I hate the results. Looks like I had cheek implants and it looks terrible. It's been 4 days and the "swelling" has not come down. Any advice on how to reverse it? Is there anything I can do to help the stuff metabolize faster?

I just had radiesse done today. i had done juvederm once about three years ago and loved it immediately. wemt right bacl to the office even. i had a slight brusie thsat lasted ahwhilebut was coverable... with raqdiesse i have significant swelling and pain. im concerned that it will stay this way. i was told it wouod be down/gone in three days. unfrtunately i was told this after injection. it didnt occiur to me to ask. i assumed it was the same as juvederm just better because ceaper and longer lasting. i've only had one "unit" of wyatever injected 1/2 on either side of my face at ht nasal labial folds. the nurse actually suggested that i go ahead and massage it in two days if i see the need but that i do soe with warm hands. shje lso suiggested that massaging too much (as she had done after injecting in her hands) would cause it to dissappear. some truth anyone? i have the joker smile and realy did NOT have a big problem before. i dont want to leave home.

I love the result of radiesse. I didn't get bruises and very little swelling. After 4 days, I the little swelling is gone. I love the result. I have more confidence cuz my laugh line made me looking very old. Some people thought I am a grandmother cuz of that when I am actually 44.

I had restylane injected in my lips to get rid of the lip lines. I went back for a follow up and the nurse suggested touching up my left upper lip with a little more filler. She injected my lip with Radiesse. I look awful. I am swollen, bruised, and white spots are forming on one side of my lip. I look deformed. I am so upset. Can anyone please let me know what will happen. The doctor said I would have to wait and see what will happen. This is not very comforting, especially after reading all the information on Radiesse and how it should NOT be used in the lips. Does anyone no if this will be a permanent thing? I pray this will go away. The holidays are coming up and I don't even want to step out of the house. One side of my lip is extremely, larger and puffy with white spots. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
