Posted to Radiesse Did Not Work for Me on 29 Apr 2009
I had radiesse injected a week and a half ago on both sides of my cheeks next to my nose to plump up underneath my eyes so they didn't look so sunken and tired. I was first given a local anesthetic to numb me. When I left I was swollen, bruised and numbed. The numbing turned to pain and wouldn't stop. It still hasn't. I talked to another Plastic surgeon and he said that a nerve was hit in my face. I have tingling, pain and severe numbness from my bottom eye lids to my top lip. My top teeth and gums are numb too. I have now found out that Radiesse will make a nerve in your face swell and give you this peralysus like feeling and will not go away until the radiesse is gone which could be 9 months to 2 years. I feel like a freak with a strange mask on and the tingling feels like bugs are under my skin. when I drink I drool and have no idea that I have food on my face and upper lip. my nose was running the other day and I had no idea and looked like a idiot. If I had known that any of this could happen I would have never ever done this. I also thought it was like botox and that if I didn't like the effect on my face it would wear off in a couple of months now I am left with an uneven looking face, a fat lip, and unbearable feelings in my face. Don't ever do this. It has been the worst thing that I have done to myself.
