“Radiesse for facial aging - need help on with an antidote!”
Radiesse: NOT worth it
Cost: $1,000
Pain: Uncomfortable
Review of Radiesse:Pain: Uncomfortable
Radiesse satisfaction: Poor
I do not recommend my Radiesse provider: Name not provided
Why: i did not receive after-care treatment,thought i would just go away, i will not. The more people knowabout this botched product the better in my eyes, what i have left of them that is. I wish i could post a pic of myself on here but that you make you physically Sick.
After having a baby and feeling older and my face starting to show signs of aging i decided to think about having facial radiesse after being advised that that was what i needed. I look like the JOKER out of batman with my mouth and my eyes look like ive just done 10 rounds with MIKE TYSON.
after radiesse 2 weeks later, face getting worse not better

Oh my god! That is terrible. Have you been back to the injector? What did he or she say to you? I feel horrible for you. Keep us updated!

The *product* is not "botched." You treatment may have been, though. The pictures are very concerning. If I saw a patient with this result, I'd be worried about the possibility of infection, organized hematoma, and/or granuloma formation. These require medical intervention. If you've lost faith in the doc who performed this procedure, seek consultation with another one. Lastly, are you sure they really used Radiesse? Good luck, --DCP

Hi there Amy here again. After returning to the doc for a second time (the first him saying that the problem maybe due to an allergy i had with orange juice when i was 2 years old, CAN U BELIEVE THAT )he gave me some steroids and anti allergy tablets which i was already taking anyway with my sister being a nurse and had already advised me. I went home and the swelling under my eyes were all full of water, was worried incase they burst as might scar i was told.After 10 days all sweling had gone and stated to look like me again. The doctor gave me a full refund after he only offered me half the amount firstly, me arguing the point that i did not have half a procedure done. It has left me now with 2 big lumps either sides of my lips, as i run my fingers over my cheeks i can see and feel 2 big humps. Hate it, am seeking a solicitor, did not seek compensation incase i get permanent problems just full refund, solicitor advised that i need to wait a few weeks to see the aftermath and then decide what to do. Would never have this treatment done again and would never advise anyone else to ever think about it. I have loads of pics for future reference if anyone wants to see a horror movie.Im 98% sure it was radiesse, thats wat the doc said he was using and i researched this doc for weeks on the internet, he has even been on the television and worked in california etc.Dont think about it, its not worth it honest. thanks, amy.
