Hi I’m in my mid 20s and two years ago I went to nurse practitioner to get radiesse done on the mandible specifically the angle of the jaw. It’s been two years and I can feel a build up (lump) of radiesse on the angle of my right jaw. While getting masseter botox another nurse injector said I should speak to surgeon. The lump is painless and non visible. Should I go back to nurse practitioner to have it removed? Should I consider surgery ?
