Marionette lines persist after Radiesse

Certainly, it is too soon to tell the final results of your treatment. But I always counsel my patients that I cannot erase lines or make them disappear.

Radiesse for Marionette Lines

Being that the question was posed only four days after your treatment, much will most likely change over the next several days.

It is not uncommon to need another syringe or 2 after your initial treatment. Good luck. Hope this helps... more
