Amy, I, too, suffered for weeks after Radisse injections with a face that looked like something out of a scary movie. I did finally go to see another doctor & had Juvederm Ultra Plus injected to fill a divit in one cheek & a bit put into the other cheek to even out the overall appearance. It does get better but you should wait longer than two days as it really does take weeks to finally know what your outcome will actually look like. I will never again put this product in my face as the waiting period to see your final results is emotionally draining.
I hope that you are staying positive. I can't believe that there are not stricter regulations on who is qualified to do injections. I hope that the doctors out there who keep making mistakes with their injections lose their ability to practice as if you aren't an expert in this field, you should be honest & say so. But then, it is all about the almighty dollar & cosmetic augmentation is a big money maker. You should try to find someone in your area who is an expert in this field & get in to see them for a consult to see if they can help you. There are people out there who are qualified, we just have to search harder to find them. Good luck.
Thanks. I appreciate that you understand. I am going in for the consult with the other facility as I wouldn't trust the original doctor to even just look at the results....I try to be positive each day but find myself not going out in public & have sort of cut myself off from people. Good luck. Stay well.
I, too, have a indentation on my left temple & a slight one on my right temple. How did your doctor correct this? I have an appointment tomorrow with someone who has done my Botox injections in the past but had moved to another location & I wasn't able to find her so I went to someone else. Bad mistake! Is this fixable?

Vicky, I, too, just recently had Radiesse injections & have developed a lump on the left side of my nose. I had extreme swelling & bruising on my left side so am not sure if this is product that didn't make it into the right place. I have since found out that the docotr that did my injections has several complaints filed against her for less than satisfactory results in cosmetic augmentation. I am calling another doctor in town today to find out what I should do about the lump. But, when I signed all the paperwork before having Radiesse, there was a blip about nodules forming under the skin & they would eventually dissolve but who knows if that is true based on the integrity of my doctor. I hope it is. Is there a doctor on this site that can answer this just so we can get some sleep at night & not worry that we will be disfigured for a year?
