A: Radiesse can be individualized for your own needs

By David Shafer, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Injections really need to be individualized for each patient. In general, I like to injection Radiesse into the cheek, Evolence into the nasolabial crease, and Juvederm into the lips. However, it all depends on your anatomy and skin quality.

A: Nasolabial folds, cheek volume, and temple area, sometimes marrionette lines

By Lane Smith, MD - Las Vegas Plastic Surgeon

Radiesse is a great filler and one I use frquently. Becuase it is a little thicker it is better for deeper wrinkles. It is not good for the lips, in fact, because it is thicker and more firm. It is great for the nasolabial folds, which are the smile lines that go from the corner of your nose downward. This is... more

A: Radiesse is best in the groove betweeen the chin and the jowl

By George J. Beraka, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

This groove is called the "pre-jowl sulcus", and it gives the chin the shape of an M. Filling in this groove with Radiesse hides the jowls and gives you a cleaner jawline. It should be injected DEEP. For the cheeks, I am now using more Juvederm. It is softer and more forgiving... more

A: Radiesse makes beautiful cheeks and fills the face

Radiesse can make the face look more youthful by directing the fullnes and the visual point to the cheeks and temples and... more

A: Nasolabial folds and volume addition

By Farbod Esmailian, MD - Orange County Plastic Surgeon

Radiesse is best in the nasolabial folds and as a volume enhancer in the cheek area, as well as the marionette lines and jowl line. You have to be careful it is not injected too superficially, and I wouldn't recommend it being injected into the lips. Good luck

Best indications for Radiesse are in the nasolabial folds, jaw line and chin. Radiesse is calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres that last approximately 12 - 18 months. Radiesse can cause lumpiness in the lips and should be avoided. Radiesse has few side effects - lumping, bruising and swelling.

My favorite place to inject Radiesse is over the zygomatic bones (cheek bones), creating a nice apple-shape to the face, and usually making a patient's face look thinner. Often practitioners try to fill in the nasolabial folds and forget about the cheeks, which also lose volume as the fat pad/skin begins to sag. In many cases, if you build structure with the cheeks, a patient will require less filler in the nasolabial folds and desirable facial proportions will be restored.
