Radiesse may be somewhat movable

Radiesse may be somewhat movable. It depends on the site of injection. If it is injected very superficially, then it is not as movable as if it is injected deep on the bone. I tell patients not to have facial massages or manipulate their face for at least the first 3 days after injection.

Radiesse is best manipulated at the time of injection

Radiesse can be manipulated immediately after injection and for a up to a week afterwards. I do not have my patients manipulate any fillers including Radiesse after their treatment is administered and they have viewed their immediate results and found it satisfactory. All my patients come back in 2 to 3 weeks after their treatment for a check-up. They are also advised to call to come in sooner if they note any irregularities.

Radiesse stable at one week

Radiesse can be manipulated immediately after placement, and for a period of time during the first day.  Some docs argue whether to have patients massage or not, and for a half an hour to half a day.  In short, we have no clear indication as to how long it is malleable. After a week, there is no additional movement anticipated.  The body has formed small collagen responses around the micronized product, effectively stabilizing the injectable and establishing soft... more
