I am planning on having Radiesse put in my marionette lines. I am concerned because another injector put Restylane in another time to help correct my marrionette lines and I remember getting kinda a square look to my jaw. Kinda like a guy.

Radiesse Injections

Radiesse for Marionette Lines...The Value of Judgement and Experience

Hi Robby, Your question emphasizes the importance of choosing an injector physician who has the proper eye for facial proportions and beauty. Injecting the marionette lines is not a commodity that you arrive at the physician's office (or as seems to be the trend nowadays the spa, nurse's house, or podiatrist's office) and order up like a Strawberry and Cream Latte with White Chocolate powder at Coffee Bean. There is an art and science to injecting, and every patient is a little different... more
