I got Radiesse done for my chin 1 week and 4 days ago and I swelled horribly, my chin was huge the following day after injection. About a week later swelling went down ok but the look is different than the initial injection. Right after I got injected it looked great but after the swelling went down it looks completely different, my chin is uneven and lumpy. Is there a way to fix this or is this still swelling leftover? It's been almost 2 weeks now, how long can swelling last?

Answer: Give it some more time. Thank you for your question. Radiasse swallowing can last for a few weeks after injections. Give it one or two more weeks and see if the results are satisfactory. If the look is still lumpy you can ask yourinjector to evaluate the area to rule out any possible infection or complication. Sometimes injecting additional filler around the area of lumps can result in a more even appearance. If this is not possible injection of Kenalog May dissolve some of the filler, and eventually with time the filler will break down. Best of luck!

Answer: Radiesse swelling... Thank you for your question. Swelling from Radiesse can take multiple weeks to go down. I would give it 2 more weeks and if still unhappy follow up with your board certified Dermatologist/PS for possible intralesional kenalog/5FU and RF therapy. At this time, I would just make sure I do not have an infection that could possibly be causing the swelling. Regards, Dr. Matt Elias
