What is the best time to have a second Radiesse injection ?

Question

I had Radiesse 3.0cc injected in my cheeks and cheekbones 7 months ago, the result was very good, but now it's slowly disappearing, but it's still looking good, can I have a repeat injection now or is it a waste of money ? or should I wait?

Radiesse for for facial contouring lasts about 8-10 months.  It is a great filler to lift and contour the cheeks.  Overlapping the Radiesse before it is all gone is a good ideas, especially if it is starting to dissipate.

You may metabolize the product quicker than others.  I would recommend going back for a consultation to discuss being treated again.  Most likely your injector will suggest a touch up.  Usually due to the excellent benefit of collagen stimulation with Radiesse much less product will be needed at the next appointment.

If you feel that you need more product, I would recommend that you simply visit your treating physician and have them injected more Radiesse. Good luck from New York City

Individuals metabolize fillers differently and it appears that you may metabolize them faster. Radiesse is one of the thicker fillers can last up to a year. Fillers are a framework to build volume in areas that when we age we tend to lose volume. As a practitioner, I suggest to my clients that they come at the nine month mark and receive a touch-up filler. If you send me a picture or come in, I would be happy to further assist you. Hope this has been helpful. Christine Pournaras, RN, BSN
