“Radiesse Has Given my Face an Uneven Look”

Not Worth It
Spent: $1,000 in Westport, CT

Radiesse is quite unforgiving. If it is at all overdone or injected unevenly, it shows. To make matters worse, it takes a long time to disappear unlike restylane or juvederm, which can be eliminated if the patient is displeased.

I had it done to conceal the hollows forming in my cheeks. I now seem to have implants on the upper part of my cheeks, and the hollows below are more pronounced.

I definitely do not recommend it.

My Doctor: Name not provided

Not for this particular procedure. She's great with botox.

Laurie, I am in Westport Ct.....can you give me the INITIALS ONLY of the dr. you used? I went for a consulation today in Westport and the Dr. tried to talk me into injecting Radiesse. I'm having second thoughts after reading the reviews.

Initials EM. She is actually quite good. I think that if I had to do it over again, I would use less (I used 2 syringes). It's better to do it gradually, since radiesse cannot be undone. Also, make sure you massage a lot the area the first few days. The swelling subsides after a few days. Don't put it under the eyes.

Thank you, Laurie... she is the Dr. I went to see and tried to talk me into the Radiesse... I will definitely NOT be going back. I am hoping that your problem is diminishing and you are feeling more comofortable. Thank you for taking the time to answer me. Lizanne

lumpy radiesse-so uncomfortable-feels like balls in the nasal labial folds and smile is now crocked as uneven amt was injected.
