Is Radiesse Good for Lip Augmentation?

Great question!  Thank you for submitting.  Radiesse is not indicated, or recommended, for injection into the lips.  Other fillers may be used, or fat grafting, which is permanent and can yield excellent results.  Discuss the various fillers as well as your desires with your physician.  Best wishes!

Radiesse is normally used as a dermal filler for nasolabial folds and cheeks and works great in those areas. It is definitely not recommended to ever use Radiesse in the lips. The product is thick and white and can cause lumps. Stick to hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane in the lips. Another option you can try that has a longer lasting result is to have fat grafted to your lips. Hope this helps.

Radiesse is composed of  calcium hydroxyapatite, a white pasty material. It is NOT recommended for lip augmentation as it is prone to nodules when injected into lips which are mostly muscle. Hyaluronic Acid fillers (HA) such as Restylane and Jeuvederm are great for lip augmentation but have to be repeated every 1-2 years as are absorbable. Fat transfer is a good alternative and long lasting
