How Soon After Fat Transfer to the Face Can I Inject Radiesse?

January 21, 2011
Asked By:rlf2000 in Los Alamitos, CA

I had a fat transfer to my face 10 days ago and as the swelling is almost completely gone, I'm noticing that there's still not enough volume. I'd like to add a small a mount of Radiesse in certain areas of my cheeks, wondering if I can go ahead with that or if there's some reason why I have to wait?
