A: Radiesse needs to dissipate before rhinoplasty

By William Portuese, MD - Seattle Facial Plastic Surgeon

It is probably best to wait at least a year or two after Radiesse injected into the nose. The Radiesse needs to dissipate before undertaking a rhinoplasty procedure so to know where the true anatomy of the nose is without a temporary alteration in it prior to embarking on a rhinoplasty surgery.

Radiesse injected into the nose will take about a year to dissolve. Furthermore, once the Radiesse has dissolved, it will allow the surgeon to properly evaluate your nasal problems so that a correct surgical plan can be created. Patience is a virtue!
