Tags: age 25-34, cheeks, jaw line, asymmetry

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.?

Can Radiesse Injection shape the face

Can I first start out by saying yes, Radiesse can be used quite well to shape the Cheeks, Jawline and Chin. In your particular case, I'm not sure that what you see and are asking to have done would at the end of the day make you more feminine and naturally beautiful. I advise you to do a little more research into the aesthetics of beauty before having Radiesse placed in areas, or amounts that could make your face appear angular..which is masculine.

Radiesse for Jawline and Cheek Asymmetry

Radiesse is an alternative, but I recommend you see a plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, or oral sugeon specializing in maxillofacial surgery before making any decisions.

Asymetry and radiesse

Daisy, I think that Radiesse would be a safe and simple temporary solution to your needs. You should be able to get some or all of the correction that you want and can then think of whether or not you are interested in something more permanent. Things are evolving in this field so quickly that by the time you decide to have a permanent correction there may be a solution that is more simple than is surgery and you need not rush into anything right now.

Fixing jawline asymmetry with Radiesse

Typically fillers help soft tissue volume deficiencies. Radiesse can indeed provide improvement in you symmetry but the recurring long-term cost for you may be cost-prohibitive. It appears that your issues are bony and not soft tissue related, and therefore you should consider custom implants with an experienced surgeon as a long-term solution. I would be happy to discuss further during a comprehensive in-person evaluation.

Using Radiesse to Treat Facial Asymmetry

Radiesse has given physicians and patients a new dimension in facial contouring by revolumizing the face through a minimally invasive approach. Radiesse injections are well-tolerated by patients. They have a low incidence of side effects and result in high patient satisfaction. 30 years' old is certainly not too early to have this treatment. Allergies are quite rare as Radiesse works by stimulating the production of your own collagen. Longer lasting fillers such as Radiesse have many... more

Radiesse for facial asymmetry.

Your problem seems to be bony and I would not do Radiesse on you. See an experienced surgeon who can see what is best.

Radiesse for facial asymmetry

Radiesse can certainly improve your aymmetry. It is quite safe in good hands but you will need quite a lot of it. At some point facial implants may make more financial sense as they will reduce your need for fillers.

Fixing facial asymmetry with Radiesse

Dear Daisy, Radiesse is an excellent filler to fix facial asymmetry. You posted this question previously. I would like to know what particular aspects of the procedure concern you, just so that I can answer your question in more detail. If you are so apprehensive about the procedure, don't do it. Regardless of the results, you need to feel comfortable and at ease about the procedure prior to doing it. Certainly Radiesse is a much less painful and expensive... more

Facial asymmetry

With facial asymetry you need to be evaluated by a maxillo-facial surgeon and a plastic surgeon. Frm the pictures the asymmetry seems to be boney. After full evaluation then they can discuss the options available to improve on the asymmetry.

Facial asymmetry Radiesse, fat injections, Sculptra or surgery

Your facial asymmetry could be improved with the use of Radiesse, or Sculptra or fat injections. All of these would take multiple treatments usually. You should see an oral maxillofacial surgeon to evaluate what surgical options there are if this is mostly a bony asymmetry. Over the years, the costs of fillers would add up considerably.

Radiesse for cheeks

Radiesse is an excellent filler choice for augmentation of the cheeks and jaw. That being said, I only use it in patients who will truly benefit from this procedure. If there is a great deal of deficiency in the cheeks or jaw, then I will recommend a surgical alternative. But for those patients who have a little asymmetry or don't need a surgical augmentation, Radiesse is an excellent product. Since I select my patients very carefully for Radiesse, my patients are generally very pleased... more
