Not seeing Results with Filler?

Unfortunately, Since you did not post any "before" and "after" photos there is no way to comment on your concerns.

Not Noticing Any Difference after Radiesse

If you have injected a lot of product and you have not noticed a difference, I would start taking pictures if you have not already. You may want to consider fat grafting to get a larger volumetric change.

Results Should Be Visible On Photos

Thank you for your question. Given the volume of filler injected, I would expect to see a result. It is difficult to comment further without before and after photos. Discuss your concerns with your injector or seek consultation from another. Best wishes.

Why Not Seeing Results with Radiesse?

With that many injections I would expect you to have a more demonstrable result; at least when compared with your preoperative appearance. There is, of course, a limit as to what can reasonably be expected with fillers - they cannot, for example, replace the effects of a facelift - but they can do a lot. And you've had a lot injected. It might be a good idea to get some more opinions from board-certified physicians in your area to see if there are some other choices I... more

The Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Lift Can Improve Cheeks, Smile Lines, Marionette Lines and Jows

Over thirty years ago, when I first started injecting the original collagen fillers, we chased each wrinkle and filled them. The results were seldom satisfactory and didn't last that long. In the past decade, with increasing knowledge and experience and the development of volumizing fillers, like Radiesse, we began to treat areas of lost volume. Our results were better and lasted a bit longer, but we still were not addressing gravitational effects and laxity. Fortunately, in in the... more

No Results after Radiesse and Perlane

With this much product, I can't imagine not seeing results. But if you're truly not seeing any change in the facial appearance, I recommend seeking out another physician who is more experienced in injecting these products. There is no reason that with that much product you shouldn't see results.

Radiesse results

Your story illustrates the importance of good before and after photos. Often times, both the doctor and the patient forget the baseline, and photos can be invaluable in making a comparison. Five syringes of Radiesse seems like a lot of product, but Radiesse comes in two different sizes and I wonder if you received the smaller syringe. If you received the larger syringe, and you really believe there has been little to no benefit, then your injector may be placing the product too deep.... more

Results after Radiesse

Its difficult to assess why you are not seeing results after a significant amount of filler injection without before and after photos. From what you described it sounds like you have been only having a small amount injected at one time, without ever achieving the desired correction. There could be multiple reasons why you are not seeing results. The placement of the product can significantly effect the outcomes. Product can easily be wasted by injecting into... more

Restylane results

There should be visible results from this much product. Perlane is one of the thicker filler materials as well. My concern is that you are being injected by a nurse and not a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Don't rely on what people are telling you. Compare a pre-procedure photo with a current one and then evaluate. If the nurse performs the injections under the supervision of a physician, then you should discuss this with him or her... more

Before & After Pictures for Radiesse

Hi Deesi. Part of the problem here sees to be that no photos were taken. If before photos were taken, you would absolutely have to see some ind of result from 5-6 syringes of product. It's unprofessional not to have photos taken so we would suggest finding a new injector.
