4 Days Post Radiesse Injections....

This is hard to answer without seeing you and without knowing how much volume was used. Typically swelling lasts on average 1 week. Have patience.

Radiesse is not ideal for use around the mouth

Radiesse is not the best filler to use around the mouth - softer fillers (such as Juvederm or Restylane) generally will produce better results. If you have not seen the effects of your treatment, you likely just need more volume. Results should be instant - and if anything, more pronounced in the first few days due to swelling.
