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

Asked By:CatherineGA in Atlanta, GA

I just got Radiesse in my cheeks 3 hrs ago and my cheeks look huge & unnatural and one is higher than the other. I know you're supposed to wait to see results due to swelling, but I'm extremely concerned this isn't swelling. Other injections have a delayed swelling. My cheeks looked like this before I left the doctor. And, they feel really hard. I would think if it were swelling it would feel soft as is with other swelling? I also had restylane in my tear troughs & the crease is still there. :(
