Not Worth It
Spent: $1,700 in Montclair, NJ

I wanter to look more refreshed, the lines were making me look haggard since I have a long angular face with high cheek bones and have gotten hollowness in my face as I have aged (I'm 52).

I'm so sorry I didn't read these posts beforehand, I wouldn't have gotten Radiesse. My Doctor didn't please me so much, seemed kind of rushed, since I got the treatments on an "injection day" which I guess is the new thing for some plastic surgeons, an assembly line of women getting needle sticks.

I had Radiesse topped off with Juvederm for nasolabial folds. I also had Juvederm injected in 3 lip lines, which smoothed out in about 3 days and looks fine. But 17 days later, I started to look weird; the filler was up under the ends of my nostrils and makes them flare a little, and the upper sides of my mouth looked very pouchy, like cat whisker pads, even monkey-like. There is a very full-feeling lump more on one side than the other, and I'm very unhappy that I look so much worse than before with the lines on my face.

Will these lumps and pouches go away in time or do I have to live like this for a year until it all dissolves? I sure don't look like the "after" pics in the Radiesse or Juvaderm ads. Thank you!

I feel bad what happened to one of us who want to look good and pay $ for it; the good thing about Juvedesse is that a real GOOD Dr. can reverse the effects on the lips and eyes circles ONLY here in UT be Carefull of so many malpractices with fillers Radiesse and others... I went to Elase Center in Orem UT and got Radiesse for the smile lines supposed erased but did nothing the office kept the $ money and I keept the wrinkles
