I had 1.8 radiesse injected into my smile lines below my mouth. I had to have more on the left side and this resulted in considerable bruising on the left and swelling of my lip and now many canker sores in my mouth. I can understand these side effects but I also have had toothache like pain in my left jaw/cheek area. It comes and goes and is worse at night. It doesn't appear to be very common. What causes this pain? I am having to take tylenal or pain medication every 4 hours.
Answer: Pain in lower cheek/jaw after radiesse
Given your symptoms there may be nerve damage with the injection, or an unrelated cause that should be addressed. Talking to your injecting physician is recommended.

Answer: Radiesse can be "painful" after injection
Radiesse can have some lingering deep "aching" pain afterwards. The Herpes simplex out break you have had is another indication of "nerve irritation" that can result in pain. I always counsel my clients that this may go on for a couple of weeks, (gradually decreasing in severity), and responds well to ibuprophen, which in addition to relieving pain, reduces the inflammation that presumably leads to the pain in the first place. if you have another injection session, make sure you get some anti-Herpes oral medicine like Valtrex to start taking the day before. this should avoid the canker sore issue and my decrease the pain as well.
