Radiasse and breastfeeding! I really need a solid answer!

noora007Jan 21, 2016
Hello, I am 25 yrs old mom of a beautiful child that is 10 months old ! I breastfeed my child every night prior to sleep to soothe her ! She DOES NOT depend on my milk production as it is already getting very very low. She only suck the breast whenever she's tired or fuzzy ! Now getting to the story, I had yesterday 4 syringes of Radiasse to contour and sculpt my jaws - which became very skinny and small after loosing weight. My q now ! Would it harm my baby to continue breastfeeding ??? Help

Dear JBUK,Thank you for your question. Radiesse lasts 1-2 years and Voluma lasts up to 2 years. The main difference is that they are two completely different materials. Radiesse is calcium hydroxy-appetite, which is a substance found in bone. It is radio opaque like bone meaning if you ever...
