Swelling, and brusing after Radiesse...

It is perfectly normal for some patients to experience swelling and bruising after a Radiesse injection while other patients may have none at all.

When you inject Radiesse it usually takes about a month to see true results

When you inject Radiesse it usually takes about a month to see true results because of swelling and/or bruising.

Bruising and swelling are possible after any procedure and sometimes oral steroids can be helpful to minimize these side effects.

Fillers

It is possible you have a big bruise and swelling. Just make sure you do not have an infection that will need immediate aggressive treatment if it is swelling and bruising, then wait till all swelling is completely gone. At that time you can decide on the results, if you do not like it , it can be disolved. Then find a better physician experienced with fillers. BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON

Swelling will come down after Radiesse

it is not uncommon to develop swelling, more in some areas than others. Often this is self-resolving but can take weeks. The effect of the steroids you were given will take more than a couple of days to initiate its onset of effect. Be patient and you will probably see improvement. otherwise, corticosteroiod injections can be attempted.
