Question

I did not like it and I thought by pushing on it & pressure thinking I would dissolve it :..,,from being so protruding...., I did this on the third day after .... I’m having headaches and I’m concerned

Radiesse shouldn't cause headaches weeks later. If your symptoms worsen, I recommend following up with your doctor, but this is unlikely due to your Radiesse injections. Keep in mind, it will take several weeks for results with Radiesse. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your question and sorry that you are having this concern after your Radiesse injections.  You cannot push on it to dissolve it – it doesn’t work that way.  It is not common to have headaches from Radiesse so if it persists I would follow up with your provider to see what else may be going on with you.  Good luck.
