“Radiesse NOT Worth It”

I had radiesse injected into marionette lines. Small amount of light bruising and lower lip swelled but went down after 48 hours. 5 weeks later,I saw little or no improvement in marionette lines. Consultant injected again, but in different area.Swelling on loer lip again for about 48 hours then within a week, large lumps appeared on my lower lip and inside my lower lip. Very noticeable. I returned to consultant who said this was very unusual and radiesse had moved into my lips - even though my lips were not injected. Further anaesthetic and she manpulated and broke down the swellings. My bottom lip was swollen - and completely covered my top lip for 36 gours then swelling started to reduce. It took 10 days for the swelling to go down. I still have lumps and bumps inside my lower lip, but they can't be seen. This was very embarrassing and I appeared to have had bad lip augmentation. My lips were and still are very full, but the marionette lines remain. It was a very painful and fruitless exercise.
