“Extremely disappointed”
Radiesse: NOT worth it
Cost: $1,000
Pain: Uncomfortable
Pain: Uncomfortable
Radiesse satisfaction: Poor
Had Radiesse in cheeks and under eyes 5 months ago. Looked great when I first got it. Loved it.
Now, 5 months later, it looks just like it did before I had Radiesse. I am angry I wasted my money. Was told it would last 1-2 years. NO WAY.

I had a similar experience. Spent $1300 and nothing to show for it. Did you try and get a refund?

msmary44 - did you look into artefill? I can't find much about it besides reveiws on this web site. My friend had sculptra and wasn't really all that impressed with her results, plus sculptra is very expensive.

Guys I had Artefill in Canada about 10 years ago. It was done on the are between the eyes. Good results, no pain. I did not feel a thing. One thing though. I still feel the little spheres so this would not be good for under the eyes or smile lines. This is new to the States and many doctors dont have experience on this.

I had radiesse injected 2 months ago into nas folds and marinette lines. loved the results for about a week. then my marinette lines came back. still liked my nasal folds. turned out natural looking. when I went back to doc after 6 week which was 2 weeks ago I asked to have more put into the marinette lines. he did this at no extra cost which this was good since I spent 1,400. I now have lumps near corner of mouth which drive me crazy I am hoping that they will still go down. my daughter says she does not notice much. but I have heard that this procedure in marinette lines are not yet perfected (even though my doctor made me believe he knew what he was doing.) I would not suggest this for marinette lines but did like for nasal folds. but have had botox and love it and still have natural look.
