Swelling After Radiesse - Massachusetts

OK it's been 6 days and my face looks much better no more chipmunk cheeks (thank goodness!!). I wish i had been more prepared for the swelling because the "little swelling" my doctor told me i might have was not so "little". I can see the way the radiesse is settling and i'm kinda bummed that the hollows under my eyes are still noticable. My doctor told me if this was the case i would have to have a little Juvederm injected there(can't use radiesse under the eyes) and after the last 6 days i'm not looking forward to having this done. So anyone out there looking to have this done please be aware that there is swelling so do it when you don't have to go out in public for a couple of days.

OK it's now been 48 Hours. Still swollen and bruised but doesn't seem quite as bad as yesterday. However the left side of my face is way bigger than the right??? I hope it's just because of the swelling. here's hoping i look better tomorrow it my anniversary and i have to go out to supper with my husband...Yikes!!!!

I feel a little better after reading your post. I just had Radiesse injected into my cheeks yesterday and i feel like a chipmunk. I'm hoping i wasn't over filled (they used 1.5 syringes)My husband hates the way i look right now & so do I. Hopefully i start looking normal soon!!!

I just had my TT w/ lipo on June 1 2010. I was really constipated and i tried everything!! The only thing that worked for me was Milk of Magnesia. It kinda gross tasting but i'm telling you it's the only thing that worked. I now take a little in the morning and a little at night before i go to bed. It worth a try... Good luck!!!

I had my TT w/ lipo on June 1, 2010. So far so good... The 1st couple of days are the hardest but as long as you take your pain meds you will be ok. Sleeping will be difficult but the pain meds knock you out!! My biggest complaint is the constipation after my surgery (it was horrible)I thought i was prepared by taking stool softeners several days before surgery but it didn't work and I tried everything to make my self go to the bathroom after the surgery but nothing worked. On day 5 i was desperate so i finally tried Milk of Magnesia and it worked!! It's pretty gross tasting but it's worth it. I take a little in the morning and a little at night before i go to bed. I wish i new about this before my surgery it would have saved my husband several trips to CVS buying me everything to try!!! Good luck!!!
