How Long Before Radiesse Gel Carrier Material Dissolves?

meli79
I recently had radiesse and I can tell that the doctor placed the product too low in my cheekbones, which created a "bulldog" effect, with jowling and everything migrating southward. How long does the carrier material take to dissolve, and at that point will my face look somewhat like it did before? I will need to go in as soon this dissolves and try a different filler. How long will I have to wait?
