How deep is radiesse injected into cheeks?

Question

is radiesse injected under cheek skin ? on the tap of the cheek bone ? or in the cheek muscles? Thanks

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

Radiesse shouldn't be injected into the facial musculature. With that said there are many ways to safely inject the product. I prefer deep injections of Radiesse or Voluma just on top of the cheek bone. However, it can be placed in thin threads beneath the skin as well. These products do need to be placed deeper than fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane/ Perlane due to their thicker and more robust nature. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Radiesse should normally be injected deep onto the bone. For best result I suggest you seek a reputable medical provider

All three dermal
fillers help add volume to the face and plump cheekbones.  They are also used to slightly modify the
structure of the facial region. Which formulation used depends on the goals and
needs of each patient. The temporary
fillers are injected with the goal of lifting the cheek pads up for the result
of high, rounded apple-shaped cheeks. Cheek implants, on the contrary, lift
check pads laterally.

Radiesse is usually used more for structural results and
contour additions. It is generally recommended for bone structures that lack
naturally high cheekbones. Restylane and Juvéderm are also used for contouring
and mild to moderate structural results.

In determining the most appropriate injectable, consult
with a dermatologist for the pros and cons of each option.

There are many ways to inject this product, but due to its viscosity, it is better to inject it deeply onto bone or into the subcutaneous tissue.  If injected too superfically, it can be felt or palpated and sometimes seen or form nodules.  Seek an expert when it comes to injection of fillers for contouring and increased volumization.  I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.

Margaret Weiss, MD · Answer

When used for the cheeks, Radiesse injections are typically placed beneath the skin into the supporting tissue. An alternative injectable treatment is FDA-Approved Voluma filler. Ask your dermatologist which filler treatment is right for you.
