If you had deep creases then the physician probably had to use a lot of material to fill in the lines. You will get use to... more
Can Radiesse cause lumps inside cheeks?
Almost 4 weeks ago, I had smile lines injected with Radiesse and was very pleased with the visual results. However, I now have some very large knots on the inside of my cheeks. I feel it has something to do with the injections, since they certainly were not there prior to the injections

A: See your doctor
It would be a good idea to return to the physician who performed your injections. The lumps you are feeling could be Radiesse. It could also be bleeding that happened at the time of injection which will resolve or could be a reaction to the Radiesse which can also be treated rather easily.
A: Radiesse can cause bumps due to Collagen formation
Hello In California, I agree that you should see your Physician to evaluate the bumps your are noticing.

help... I had radiesse put in my nasolabial folds and above & below my lips were wrinkles had formed. She gave me bite blocks with litocane in 4 areas. she proceeded to inject radiesse on my right side with no problems. As she started on the left side my face swelled up like a balloon and she had to stop because she couldn't see where she was injecting. it has been two weeks and I kept feeling these lumps on the upper inside of my lips but all the way to the nose area. My daughter is my hygenist so she checked the inside of my mouth and discovered I have huge white lumps that weren't the last time I was in her office which was a week before these injections. Is this the radiesse??

Radiesse can definitely produce aggregates and lumping. The good news about Radiesse is that it is not permanent. There are other very smooth fillers for the smile line area, such as Elevess and Artefill. Elevess is a high cross linked hyaluronic acid, which is about the same duration as Radiesse, but very inexpensive, so you can try out the look, without a big cost. Artefill is a very smooth long duration filler, which you can do next, it lasts several years in most people, is aesthetically pleasing, does not migrate, and is well worth the investment. Neither of these have produced aggregates in my experience. In the meanwhile, there are some things you doctor can inject to help the lumps diminish somewhat.

I have this as well. I am just 5 days post injection. I was hoping it was simply swelling from the injection being done in that area, but now I don't know. If it is in fact product I will have it for a while. I will have to wait and see.
