How long will swelling after Radiesse last?

I suggest following up with your physician.  When needle injection is used there is more swelling and pain from Radiesse than most other fillers, because it requires a larger gauge needle.  Asymmetrical swelling, abnormal pain, or excessive bruising are all signs you should see your doctor sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, Radiesse cannot be reversed and lasts a significant amount of time, but there are things that can be done if you are unhappy with your results.  I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question! Swelling does occur after using Radiesse. Typically the swelling, bruising and discomfort subsides after about 2 days. You should minimize strenuous activity and avoid extensive sun or heat exposure for about 24 hours after treatment and until any swelling or redness has resolved. If the swelling does not subside be sure to contact your doctor.
