The doctor will mold the Radiesse with massage

We generally don’t recommend that patients massage Radiesse. Often, the doctor will mold the Radiesse with massage as he’s injecting it and then will ask the patient to leave it alone. If there’s any irregularity with the Radiesse, you can have the doctor check it and if you have a lump, the doctor may have you massage it to bring it down.

Massage after Radiesse

Afer nine days from Radiess, i doubt any significant resolution will be accomplished by massaging. There may be inflammation giving more volume than you will truly recognize eventually. You should be patient and followup with your physician in a few weeks.
