I had radiesse injection in my lips and it caused calcium buildup. My cosmetic surgeon has been using hylenex/ hyaluronadise to break it down. I was told by another cosmo that it won't make it go away completely and I'll have to have it cut out/ extruded.. What is your take

Answer: Radiesse unfortunately if this if from radiesse injections, the hyalronidase will not dissolve the bumps. Hyalronidase only works on hyalronic acid products like juvederm and Restylane. Confirm with your injector as to what was used. Good luck!

Answer: Radiesse in the Lips First of all, Radiesse should have never been placed in your lips. The manufacturer of Radiesse, Bioform, strictly advises against using this product in the lips due to this frequent result. Hylenex will have no effect on the calcium hydroxylapatite of the Radiesse, and yes you will need a plastic surgeon to help you get through this. Steroid injections have been tried, and surgical excision. Very sorry you are having this experience. Best, Lisa Vuich, MD
