What happened here? Will I ever see my baseline face again after subcision & Radiesse for acne scars? (Photos)

AnalinaJun 30, 2023
As part of an acne scar treatment (subcision) I had Radiesse (1:1 diluted, 1ml for both cheeks) injected in the subcutaneous. Ever since my chin and jaw have doubled in size (look many and aged) and are just undefined. It almost seems like filler is under my jaw/chin looking like a puffy double chin. It either has to be something with the filler or the cannula subcision (sagging, ligament damage). Did not gain weight. Is it realistic that this might be a temporary problem only? Thanks!

Prolonged pressure from a chin strap could affect your Radiesse treatment. The degree will depend on how tight the chin strap is worn and how far out you are from treatment. Check with your injector for post treatment instruction based on the area addressed.
