Will Radiesse Work for Nipple Augmentation?

I had donut mastopexy, areola reduction with implants 6 years ago. I was not warned that I could end up with flat areolas and flat non-protruding nipples which I did. I am very self conscious about them and would never have done the procedure had I known this would happen. I had perfect nipples before but the areola area was larger than desired. I have heard that Radiesse is being used as a filler for this disfigurement. Do you know of any Dr's that are doing this procedure? I live near Denver.
