Fixing Facial (Jawline and Cheek) Asymmetry with Radiesse
I have a facial asymmetry. The right side of my face is thinner, whereas the left is wider and steeper. Same with the jaws. I look different from different angles and it bothers me a lot.
Right cheek sagged and looks small, whereas left is still high.. Surgeon recommended Radiesse. I researched the product and saw pictures of complications here. Scared. I am very allergic too. Would you recommend it? Isnt it too early to use Radiesse for a 30 y.o.?

Radiesse or Perlane or Fat Injections for facial volumization
If you are an allergic individual it is still doubtful that you will get an allergic reaction to Radiesse, but it is possible. Lumps are usually related to a physical collection of the material and not an allergic reaction, although an immune reaction granuloma could occur months later. If you are concerned with this filler despite its safety record, consider fat injections and as it's your material (if there's enough to harvest on you) you wouldn't get an allergic...

Radiesse for Facial Asymmetry
Radiesse is an excellent choice for treatment of facial asymmetry. Allergy testing is not required as allergies are quite rare. You are not too young as I frequently use Radiesse to correct problems in 20 and 30 year olds. Radiesse is actually not a filler but a stimulator of your own collagen which then acts to volumize tissue in a gradual, progressive, and predictable manner. Radiesse is comprised of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. The gel carrier causes...

Fixing facial assimetry with Radiesse
Facial assymetry is quite common at different degrees.
Radiesse can be an excellent filler to treat the asymmetry you are describing.
Make sure that the procedure is performed by a Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon.
Radiesse is an inert calcium salt (Hydroxyappatite); therefore I wouldn't worry about allergy.

Facial Asymmetry is both common and correctable #Radiesse #Sculptra
Facial Asymmetry is both common and correctable. All of us have some degree of facial asymmetry. If it bothers you, then Radiesse is a good choice for correction with immediate results lasting about 12 months. Complications are unusual if you find an experienced injector. An alternative would be Sculptra, which has gradual results lasting up to two years, possibly longer. Sculptra requires multiple treatment (2-3) while Radiesse requires a single treatment. Both would be reasonable options...

Facial contouring and correction of facial asymmetry- best approach, #liposuction, #beauty, #breastfeedingandcosmeticsurgery
Dear Daisy_1981
Thank you for your question. Facial contouring can be acheived with many techniques- using fillers, micro fat grafting, facial implants, liposuction( micro) and sometimes lifting. With the fillers- Radiesse and Restylane/Perlane will give you an immediate correction (lasting a year or so), Sculptra will result in a correction over several months (lasting 2 to 3 years).... they are all good for facial shaping. A newer filler is using PRP- platelet rich plasma...

Adjusting facial asymmetry with Radiesse
Radiesse works well as filler plus it stimulates your own collagen production, and is perfectly suitable for evening out the asymmetrical areas of the cheeks and jawlines.
Radiesse does not require allergy testing prior to injections however there are warnings on the product for patients with multiple allergies.
The warnings are as follows:
Radiesse should not be used in patients who have severe allergies marked by a history of anaphylaxis or history or presence of multiple...

Fillers for Facial Augmentation
Radiesse and Perlane are great fillers for facial augmentation in the cheek, chin and haw areas. The goal is to create the proper aesthetically shaped facial features responsible for creating a ruggedly handsome male face in men or a soft, heart-shaped face in woman...not just evening out asymmetries.

Facial asymmetry
Facial asymetry is common, but subtle.
You need a full evaluation by a BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON (AMERICAN BOARD OF PLASTIC SURGERY), for evaluation diagnosis and appropriate plan of treatment.
The asymmetry can be soft tissue or boney and can be a combination. therefore aan understanding of the problem and proper diagnosis will help with treatment plans

Radiesse and Fat transfer Safe for Most for minor Jawline Asymmetry Correction
Being an "allergic person" doesn't mean you be allergic to Radiesse, in fact I have never seen this in my practice. A test dose can be given to make sure you are not allergic.
For best results you need to go to an office with extensive experience using this product. In general the deeper the injection within the desired area the safer. Fat transfer is a great alternative (and you can't be allergic to your own fat)

You might try sculptra too
Daisy, ?Radiesse should work well to correct asymmetry but if you have a large difference in volume from one side to the other you might prefer sculptra as you will get more volume for your cost and it will last longer. See an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon and see what they have to say.
