My temple is very lumpy 9 days after Radiesse injection in my temples. I contacted my provider, and she advised that this was normal and to wait another week. My concern is that the areas seems to be getting more lumpy, not less. She says if I am unhappy in a week, she will fix it and says this is normal. I feel I look very abnormal! Help, please!

Answer: Lumpy temples after radiesse Radiesse bumps can be dependent on various factors: injector, technique used, and location injected. Unlike lumps from HA filler, which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase or mobilized with massage, radiesse is harder to manipulate. Like you've already done, make sure your injector is aware of this issue and waiting for swelling and lumps to subside on their own. You can try aggressive massage to help smooth the area, which is the least invasive. Alternatively, normal saline can be injected around the lumps and again massage. Adding additional radiesse is fill in the gaps is an option. Also, a small cut can be made to extract the radiesse-although this may not be precise to give a smooth look. Usually the lumps will go down with time.
