How long does it take before I start to notice some of the Radiesse in my cheeks start dissolving?

Asked By:puffycheeks

I had Radiesse put in my cheeks 5 weeks ago to help my smile lines (naso folds). Instead, my cheeks are so puffy that the smile lines are more pronounced and I look like I gained a lot of weight. The nurse who did this wants to give me a steroid shot for swelling (but she hasn't seen me since the 10 day mark). I don't think I'm still swollen, I think I was overcorrected.
