Radiesse for Cheek Volumizing

Radiesse is the best filler for restoring lost cheek volume, and by doing so it rejuvenates the entire midface.

Where to Place Radiesse Injections

Radiesse for putting volume back in the cheeks

I first give the patient a nerve block, otherwise the injections can be painful. Radiesse is an excellent filler for putting volume back in the cheeks, with results that can be seen immediately. I inject it over the malar bone at the interface between the muscle and bone.

Radiesse placement in the cheeks

The exact placement of filler into the cheek depends on each patient's needs. I place radiesse fairly deep just over the bone of the cheek. I'll often place it in a 3-dimensional latticework to help blend it in more seamlessly as well.

Radiesse injection for the cheeks

Radiesse injection for the cheeks is a wonderful way to augment one's cheeks to provide a more cherubic and youthful appearance.  After providing the appropriate local anesthetic, I inject in a fanlike fashion deep just over the bone.  I believe this provides the most favorable aesthetic outcome with minimal bruising or swelling.   see video
