Is this excessive? Three were layered on my temples, three layered on my cheeks, and two layered in my jawline, and one in nasolabial folds. I contacted the practitioner and they said this was perfectly normal and that that she has clients 'who have it every 6-9 months. (3-5 syringes at a time)' -Is this normal? I know it's dependent on the person a lot of the time, but is 9 vials excessive in the space of 6months?
Answer: How Much Radiesse is Too Much? Hi CS. Based on your age, it is very unusual to need that much product. In some cases for very thin patients, we may use 4-5 syringes over a number of treatments. If this much Radiesse is required your are better off with fat transfer or Sculptra as they will both last longer. To see examples of very thin patients that have have had Sculptra injections, click on the link below.

Answer: How much Radiesse is too much? I was 28 when I was injected with 9 vials of Radiesse between April-October 2015. Ok. This seems excessive, but what goals did you discuss with your practitioner and do you have serious atrophy for some reason? It sounds like you're uncomfortable with this volume, but if your results are good then what's the issue?Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Answer: 9 vials Thanks for your question, but it is difficult to answer without knowing more about your case: reviewing your images, considering your goals and expectations, and looking at your results. But as it was years ago, it probably is not as important today. If you feel that you still would like to consider enhancements, you should search out experienced Board Certified injectors and go on a few consultations. Talk about your goals and discuss which fillers would be most appropriate and how many may be required. Be sure to also consider alternatives to fillers such as fat grafting.

Answer: Radiesse Results--venus legacy, 5/FU steroids The amount of Radiesse used can be variable to the individual and desired results, but that amount isn't necessarily excessive. However, 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

Answer: How much Radiesse is too much? There is no upper limit to the amount of Radiesse that can be injected over time, but the amount used will vary for each individual patient. The number of areas being treated as well as the amount of depression in those areas would determine the amount that is used during a treatment. I would not say that 9 syringes of Radiesse over the space of 6 months is excessive in treating the temples, cheeks, jawline and nasolabial folds, but that is more than would be used for other patients who were only having one particular area treated.
