Hello there, I had radiesse injected in my hands. Tomorrow will be two weeks and I am swollen, more on my right hand. I am getting a little worry. I've had juvederm injected on my face and never had any side effects. I understand radiesse is thicker and the hands' skin is very thin. Is it time to go back to the doctor who performed the procedure? Or should I wait a couple more days.

Answer: Swelling after Radiesse Mild swelling in the hands for a few weeks after a Radiesse injection is normal, but not excessive swelling. I would recommend making a call to your treating provider just to keep them informed.

Answer: Post radiesse swelling is common It is common to have swelling in the hands after the injection of radiesse. This swelling is the result of several different factors. First of all the injection process itself, with the introduction of the substance into the skin causes some injury which then results in swelling. Secondly, the skin of the hand is very thin, so swelling of the area is more visible. Finally, we usually keep our hands in a dependent, down ward position by our sides. This causes the fluid to be drawn downwards with gravity and accumulate there. Swelling typically lasts 1 to 2 weeks. If it continues much longer than that, I'm sure your doctor will be happy to discuss your concerns with you.
