“My Cheeks Look Great”

I am an African-American woman (medium to dark skin) and was concerned about needles in my face. I scar easily, and some the reviews scared me! My dermatologist (Asian) told me that she uses Radiesse herself and recommended it. She numbed me. The needle pricks were tolerable. I saw the changed immediately. About 1/2 hour later, my cheeks looked too big, but my dermatologist warned me that I may have slight swelling. I had almost no bruising. Now, it is 24 hours later and I am very pleased with the results.
