Chronic Edema After Radiesse

I had Radiesse injected along the bridge of my nose almost three years ago, and my nose remains distended, red, and swollen all along the areas treated with the filler. They look just as inflamed as if it had been injected recently. I have come to discover the swelling is not scar tissue, but a chronic edema.

I even had kenalog injections to thin out the thickening texture around my nostrils. Any depressions caused are likely masked by constant nasal swelling, especially at night. The ENT doctor prescribed steroid nose spray, but it only temporarily suppresses the inflammation. I have trouble breathing now.

Is there any treatment to get the fluid to dissipate and help me with my breathing? All suggestions welcome!

Theoretically there are a few possible explanations but they are hihgly unlikely to be the cause of the problem You may be experiencing regional lymphatic obstruction and the use of manual lypnhatic drainage may provide you with some relief. I would recommend a full ENT evaluation with possible CT scans of the sinuses. At 3... more
