Initial Radiesse Injection to the Nose Longevity?

Does Radiesse still last a year even if only an initial injection was done? I posted a picture here asking if I should get another Radiesse injection to conceal my dorsal hump. The answers convinced me to have a rhinoplasty which I will get early next month.

Although my nose looks like it did before the Radiesse, I'm afraid it has only been 8 months and that would affect my rhinoplasty. I don't want to wait any longer because I'm looking for a job and don't want to ask for time off. I never got the touch ups. I only got one injection to the top and bottom of the hump. Is rhinoplasty okay?
