I had Radiesse treatment since Aug. 2008 and last one was Dec. 2009. I read everything, have a board certified plastic reconstructive surgeon and got a delayed immune reaction. I’m going for complete blood work and x-rays. I am so scared that I will not get well. An autoimmune response was one of my fears. I didn't want any of the other fillers because of problems. I have numbness in my hands, pain, and swelling and tingling in my hands. This stuff hardens and it attaches to bone and can forms granuloma and immunologic phenomena. I thought the body got rid of this product. I hope my primary doctor can help me. I am waiting for an answer too.
Hi Nancy I have Radiesse treatment since Aug. 2008 and last one was Dec. 2009. I took my time read up on everything have a board certified plastic reconstructive surgeon and I am have what I have read is a delayed immune reaction. I had to go for complete blood work and also x-rays. I am so scared that I will not get well. An autoimmune response was one of my biggest fears. I didn't want any of the other stuff because it came from animals or collagen. I have numbness in my hands, pain in my fingers, swelling and tingle ling. This comes from the doctor not telling me that this stuff hardens and it attaches to bone forms granule and immunologic phenomena. Most of this can be contributed also to the fact that the plastic surgeon has had enough experience with this stuff. I am working with my primary doctor and hope he can help to straighten out my system.
I had Radiesse injected in my cheek and the needle went through the area that was suppose to be filled and I swallowed some of it. He said nothing to be concerned about. However, I am now seeing my Primary doctor because I have the following symptoms: Numbness and tingling in my lips, roof of the mouth, back, hands and finger tips and swelling of my hands and fingers. Also pain in my fingers too. Never had any of this before until now.
