Dear Tina 2009 Radiesse has been advocated for shaping the nose in many papers. The longevity is variable- 8 months to several years. Restylane also works well and can last a long time.

Permanent filler for non-surgical Rhinoplasty after Radiesse?
I'm considering getting a non-surgical Rhinoplasty for the first time by using Radiesse. I read online that Radiesse nose job can last 10-24months. When Radiesse is almost gone, what does the nose look like? Are there some signs so that I know I should go back to get a re-injection before nose returns to original/flat shape?
Also, is it safe to do permanent filler injection (eg. Aquamid, Artefill) for nose job next time, after using Radiesse this time? If yes, do I need to wait until Radiesse is completely gone, then do permanent filler? Or is it safe to use permanent filler on nose while Radiesse is still there? Thanks!

A: Radiesse/Permanent fillers for Rhinoplasty
In my experience Radiesse has had good results for limited indications and lasted about 15months. At present I do not use permanent fillers because of concerns about problems but that is a biased opinion., Be sure you go to someone who has used a lot of it and has long term follow up. You may... more
