Radiesse: Q&A

Significant Swelling With Every Radiesse Injection?
I have seen first-hand that there is often swelling for a few days after a Radiesse treatment, after which I usually get great results. I should be assured by this. However, each time I do it, I do have very scary, unattractive amounts of swelling. This time, I also have a dull soreness every place it was injected. What is the soreness caused by? Are some people perhaos more susceptible to swelling than others? I don't have this same issue with other fillers - why would Radiesse be different?

Everybody is different when it comes to swelling after a facial filler. You can try Arnica to help with the swelling and bruising if you experience that as well. Ice packs work great too.

Radiesse Swelling
Because of the depth that Radiesse is injected at, it does cause more swelling than other fillers like Restylane or Juvederm. I always advise my patients to expect more bruising and swelling, and some redness from Radiesse injections. The soreness is just tenderness around the injection site. Yes, some people will definitely swell or bruise more than others - especially if you take Advil or Aleve or some natural vitamins like fish oil - but more than that, it's the depth and type of...

Swelling after Radiesse injections
What you are experiencing is normal after Radiesse injections.
Some people swell more then others like in your case. It also depends on the injectors techniques and placement of the filler. Radiesse is a thicker filler and is more like bone substance so it creates more inflammation and more swelling another reason for the more pain felt after Radiesse injections. The pain can be reduced by mixing the filler with local anesthetic with adrenalin which reduces the amount of brushing as well...
