Radiesse- Scarring Dissolves ??

Tags: 1 year post-op, dissolve, scar

I've had radiesse placed in my NL folds 14 months ago. Very unhappy. My NL lines look more prominent and i look tired. She put too much next to my mouth which gives me a sunken cheek look and pushes mouth down. 12 - 18 months, but what about the scar formation? Does the "new collagen" (scarring) go away too? I don't think it has subsided one bit yet. Please please tell me it will dissolve still. : (

Radiesse usually dissolves after one year

It is possible to dissolve Radiesse - should be done by an expert.

Intralesional steroid injections can dissovle Radiesse, however there is some risk of skin dimpling with this treatment. If the skin dimples it can be filled with a hyaluroic acide filler such as Perlane or Juvaderm and will eventually return to normal. I would recommend a dermatologist who specializes in aesthetic medicine to do this treatment.

NOT OPTIMAL RESULTS. This may persist especially around the mouth. If this persists then to treat you will need liposuction around the mouth AND an aggressive face lift, where the skin is lifted to the areas around the mouth. remove the Radiesse and some fat or move it up and tighten the skin.

Radiesse for Nasolabial Folds

Yes, the new collagen formed from your Radiesse injections will gradually fade over time. Some of the lines and sagging you have may unfortunately be due to your being one year older now. When properly injected, Radiesse can cause dramatic improvement in the nasolabial folds. Wrinkle lines or folds are really just the first obvious visible signs of a slow progressive change taking place in all structures of the face. Radiesse is not injected directly into these wrinkle lines and folds, but... more
