How long will swelling after Radiesse last?

I always inform my patients it takes up to 2 weeks for any swelling to settle, Radiesse is a thicker filler so you might even feel it tight or difficult to smile for the first few days as well 

Hi Rico.  The swelling is temporary and should normally last several days to a week.  If you have concerns after 3-4 days, you should request a checkup with your injector.  Good luck.

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.
