Can Radiesse Migrate?
Is there a potential for Radiesse to migrate after injection? For example, could it spread from the cheeks into the nasolabial folds?

No, Radiesse will not migrate from the cheeks to the NL folds. We love Radiesse and especially love it in the cheeks to augment the midface. Other great areas for Radiesse include the nose, the hands, the temple, the facial skeleton and the naso labial folds. The lidocaine has just about eliminated the discomfort associated with the injectionss. Good Luck!

Radiesse and Nasolabial Fold Migration
Fibrous septa provide a dense attachment between the dermis and the underlying subcutaneous fascia of the face. Injection in the subcutaneous plane is unlikely to lead to migration of a stimulatory filler such as Radiesse. Although migration is theoretically unlikely, it can occur in the rare occasion.

Radiesse does not migrate.
Lady I,
From my experience with Radiesse, it does not migrate. Additionally, I have not talked with anyone who has experienced migration either. Radiesse is malleable right when it is injected, but only to mold the shape, not to push in into different tissue planes or locations. I hope this is helpful.

Radiesse Migration
Any product injected has a slight risk of migration. However, it would stay within the injection site area. It would not migrate from the cheeks to the nasolabial folds.

Can Radiesse Migrate?
Radiesse does not migrate from the spot where it was placed. It stays where it is injected to provide the bolster that it is injedced.

Can Radiesse Migrate
Radiesse is very unlikely to migrate from the area where it is injected. It is a calcium hydroxyapatite substance that rarely migrates. Because of the types of tissue planes in the face migration is unlikely.

Radiesse "Migration"
After injection the Radiesse is malleable in order to shape the contours of the face. Massaging or placing pressure on the area of injection may help to smooth out any desired bumps, but it does not move into other areas, planes, or tissues of the face. This is simple repositioning and molding, but the filler is thick and will not migrate in your face once set.

Can Radiesse Migrate?
Hi ladyl. There is a difference between migration and movement. Often after injection, we are able to move or manipulate Radiesse in a way that helps accentuate the desired facial contours. But this does not involve moving the product from one area of the face to another. It simply means we can reposition some of the product after injection.
Migration is altogether different and infers a movement of the product that was not caused directly by the methods...

Most likely not
Most likely the injection was in both the cheek and the nasolabial fold and once the sweeling is gone the differential injection will show.
The nasolabial fold is a very tight structure and will prevent this migration

Radiesse migration
It is unlikely for Radiesse to migrate after previous injection. Once the material is injected, it really does not move around too much unless you forceably push on it, and then only a very short distance.

Unlikely that Radiesse will migrate
Radiess is very thick, and not likely to to migrate. Additionally, scar tissue rapidly forms around the material. It may be possible at the time of injection or shortly after to mold and manipulate the filler, but within days (if not hours) it pretty much stays put.

Radiesse does not "migrate" in tissues.
The face does not consist of "open spaces" where Radiesse could migrate around. This is a very good design for limiting spread of infections, etc., and helps keep injectables where they are placed. Vigorous massage can and does "flatten out" any undesireable lumps after injection, and this "molding" is often part of the injection technique with this firm filler.

Radiesse movement
Unlikely for Radiesse to migrate, however, intense manipulation can theoretically position Radiesse in another location. Be sure to follow post injection protocols by your physician.

Radiesse unlikely to migrate
Due to the nature of the product, it is extremely unlikely for radiesse to migrate. However, patient selection is key.
