$900

I had injections for frown lines and the rest of the syringe was used for spot treatment. Initially the swelling made it look like it worked. Within 48 hours the swelling was gone, I had new lumps and uneven "full" areas and frankly, the problem areas had no, no net improvement. I am totally disappointed and feel this is a poor product. I believe some of the material migrated downward and have lumps where none was inserted. Will never do this again.

Hi 56,

Thanks for the review. I'm sorry that you weren't happy with your experience. I wonder if they used a diluted solution. Have you gone back and asked about the bumps? I've heard sometimes they have to massage it once it's in so it doesn't settle did they do that? Please keep us updated.

Thanks,

I went in for Juvederm in my marionette lines and ended up with Radiesse. What a mistake - I was bruised and swollen for 3 weeks and the marionette lines are deeper than they were plus the pores in the area are now stretched and I have fine lines n the area where none existed before. Plus, I have had sores in my mouth for almost 2 weeks and have sore spots in my skin like I'm getting zits (I'm 59 and past that stage). I took photos of my face (closeups) 30 minutes before the treatment -- and I looked better before. Plus, now I have "jowls" which I did not have before. Too many side effects and no favorable results = waste of money.
Dear LookingWorse, I can relate to your frustration. I am 67 years old but have always looked at least 10 years younger. Radiesse was suggested to plump up my checks. It is now six weeks after the injections and I now have marionette lines, jowls and tear troughs, which I did not have before the injections. Additionally, I now look tired all time and 10 years older. One acquaintance asked what I did to my face because it looked so bad. I should have left my face as it was because it looked a lot better than it does now. My concern is at 67 years old, this look may be permanent look now.
I hate this product and the doctor who did it...I'm suing him.
