I had a full body lift 1.5 years ago (June 2023) and some fat grafting in my lower buttock. Seven months later (Jan 2024), I received Radiesse injections to fill in concave portions in the upper buttock and hips, but they made minimal to no difference.

Will the residual Radiesse affect the fat transfer into the same region?
