Hi there, thanks for your question! Yes this can sometimes occur with radiesse injections. Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxyl acetate. Your body can form a barrier around the product called a granuloma. If this happens, you may need steroid injections to break up the tissue. Additionally, the product may be too superficial or too much of it may have been injected in one area. I suggest seeing your injector for a follow up. Hope this helps!
Hi K. Yes, sometimes Radiesse can feel bumpy and there are a couple possibilities. One is that the product was placed in a way that too much is one area. This bumpy feeling would be related to injection technique.The second scenario is a bit more serious and is could be something called a granuloma. A granuloma is an allergic type reaction where the body's immune system surrounds the injection product. In this situation a steroid may need to be injected to remedy the problem. A visit to your injector would probably be the best option for you now.
Radiesse is a very safe filler but can cause temporary bumps on the skin. If so, I would use a dissolving protocol to soften the granulomas or bumps. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon
This is difficult to answer without an in-person evaluation. If you're unhappy with your Radiesse results, it can be improved with venus legacy treatments and 5/FU steroids. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
This is most liklely that the injection was not smooth and even after a month massage may help. injection of cortisone may be able to shrink the bumps
