“Just had a fill done last friday”

Radiesse: Worth it

Cost: $1,200
Pain: Uncomfortable
Radiesse satisfaction: Very good4 Star Rating: Very good

First of all I want to say that I purchased 3 syringes. I knew that I wouldn't be happy with just 1 or 2, and there was a Buy 1 get the 2nd and 3rd at a discount.

I had my NL folds done, as well as my jawline and cheeks. I had literally NO bruising or swelling. I iced for the entire evening after the procedure. After only 2 days, any remains of swelling are completely gone. However, as mentioned by a previous poster, I notice there is a bit of a shadow now under my eyes due to the "puffier" check areas. This isn't any big problem because I just touch up as I always did with Bare Essentuals coverup.

One thing I want to mention. As with other substances, Radiesse does NOT keep "for another visit." It will stay fresh for use after more than a few hours. Onec you buy a syringe, you may as well use it all at the visit. This is something the Radiesse rep told me, and I have also read this.

I am hoping that this lasts longer than a few months. But I look pretty good now happily. I am also a smoker (trying to quit.) I hope this doesn't interfere with the collagen formation, but I'm afraid it may do exactly that.
