Radiesse Injected to Augment Nose Bridge

I ended up canceling my Radiesse appointment. I got lucky and had no side effects. However, around month 11 the tip of my nose did turn splotchy and red and I freaked out. I don't know if it had anything to do with Radiesse and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a pimple...Again, I was lucky and it went away over time. Are you also going to get your tip injected? I noticed a dr responded to your other question and advised you don't do your tip...I'd take that advice. Anyway, I don't regret getting Radiesse the first time because it seriously helped me decide what I wanted to do with my nose. I got to experience a year with a bridge and I loved it. They used one full syringe - I THINK it was 0.7cc. I think Asian people respond better to injections bc we have thicker skin...Make sure that your doctor is highly experienced with Radiesse injection and make sure to ask about side effects etc. I admit my doctor could have done a better job when shaping my bridge because it didn't look straight from the front. I loved the side view though. My point is, there can be some leakage before Radiesse hardens so the doctor has to shape the bridge fast enough... If you go ahead with the injection, it will help you decide if you want to get a nose job or not in the future. Remember you have to wait 1 to 2 years before getting the real thing. I ended up getting a nose job in the end and Radiesse mentally prepared me when I saw how swollen my nose was after the surgery. Remember, swelling should go away in 3 to 4 days with Radiesse. DO NOT freak out the first 3-4 days...Just remember that Radiesse is temporary. I noticed Plastic surgeons aren't against Radiesse injections but Otolaryngologists/ENT are. I trust ENTs because they warn you of side effects and they really look out for their patients' safety. Please let me know what you decide and good luck!

They do look uneven...can you post a new picture since that photo was taken only 4 days after the surgery? Hope it's healing well...
