Radiesse, Perlane, and Botox won't work
I had 2 Radiesse and 2 Perlane treatments three weeks apart. I paid total of $1800. I still have marked nasolabial folds, one longer than the other.

Dr.Oppenheim: I don't "put" anyone "on" sir. There were 2 physicians injecting the fillers and Botox. One a board certified plastic surgeon and the other a DO.

But I really wanted to know if could be something about my body that it makes the fillers ineffective.
