Tags: 2 weeks post-op, bump, massage, not working, options

My doctor tried to fill a small gap on the upper third of my nose with Rasiesse and it left a huge hump that surfaced after 2 weeks! The doctor squished it with pressure from his finger and told me to do the same if it should resurface. It resurfaced, same hump, I squish it, and it comes back after a few minutes! It's been a month already and I'm still constantly playing around with my nose! What's going on and what can I do???

It does not sound like this represent infection. Radiesse is a fabulous product but one limitation of this product is that it cannot be "dissolved" unlike the hyaluronic acid fillers. Your body will resorb Radiesse and replace it with collagen but the fill can last up to 12 months or more. If your... more

Radiesse and bump on nose

Bumps can occur after Radiesse especially if the product is placed superficially. My suggestion is that you return to whomever injected you so that he or she can reevaluate the area. If there is no redness or tenderness, there is probably no infection present, but that needs to be checked. If there is no infection, I would try injecting the area with a very dilute cortisone solution.
