Radiesse in cheeks - is this swelling or over-filled? (Photo)

It is hard to say if this is just swelling or overfill. I would wait it out for about a week to determine the longer term effects. Unfortunately, Radiesse doesn't have an easy way to dissolve if overfilled like HA fillers do. There is a paper showing sodium thiosulfate can dissolve Radiesse but this was in an animal model and not extensively (or at all) in humans. Other causes of swelling are bruising/hematoma which will respond to ice, elevation, and arnica.

Hi and thank you for  your question. Swelling is an inevitable outcome of what we do...unfortunately. That said you can expect swelling for up to 5 days post procedure. I am more concerned about the yellowish discoloration of your left cheek. I wold advise you to have that checked by your provider. Good luck
