I was told by my dermatologist whom did my Radiesse that it is more difficult to do and should be done by those doctors that have had specilized training in the technique because it is not like the other fillers. I wanted to try it because it was on sale for the same price as restylanebut last much longer. I has the area near my eye sockets done because my eyes are deep set and the socket bones protruded. I also wanted the nasiolabial folds, and the corners of my lips. I have large lips, so I didn't want them plumped, but the corners werelosing the volume and turning downward into a permafrown. The doc numbed up my face and told me it would hurt a lot. I told him it hurt a little but not even comparable to childbirth and raising teenagers! I am very happy with the results for the most part. I do with I would have gone with a little more to fill in my cheek area like we had discussed. My problem is that he injected radiesse near the lower corner of my mouth, I guess to try and fill in the crease from my frown, instead of just plumping the lips corners to pull some of the frown away. I now, after 2 weeks, have a large pea sized tumour protruding from the left injection site. It looks like a masive pimple getting ready to erupt. I am embarrassed, especially since I actualy paid to have this done (not the tumour, just radiesse!) I have an appt in the morning with same doc whom I was told would have to make an incision inside of my cheek to take out the abundance of radiesse thats there. I wonder if they can put it in the nasalabial fold on the left that didn't quite get enough fill. One thing I would say to anyone is be very clear where you do and do not want any plumpness to appear. I should have shown him my looking in a mirror and pointing and he should have marked those areas. I do still want to get some cheek enhancement because I've lost a lot of the large volume I had in my youth and through my weight loss. I'd like to look in the mirror and see a little of that youth I vagually remember. I guess I'll see what happens tomorrow. I'm a littlecsared to get an incision made inside my mouth. Its like getting a c-section for my baby growth.
