Does this mean I will be this full for a year? When will I see my radiesse start to decay ? I've been told it lasts a year.. does this mean my cheeks will be this full for a year or the product will all be gone within a year or so ?! I was injected about a month ago. Hoping that I'll slowly start to look back to normal but before radiesse I had voluma near the same area..
Answer: Radiesse is a long lasting filler Radiesse is a stimulatory filler that is an excellent option for patients who desire a longer-lasting filler alternative to hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. In our office, we use Radiesse to complement structural areas of the face and contour bony prominences. Our office also is a center of excellence for filler complication treatments and we see patients who have been treated by other doctors and have undesirable results from Radiesse or other long-lasting fillers. We have treatment options available for Radiesse filler nodules, granulomas, and soft tissue thickening. The first step would be to diagnose the nodularity and determine whether there is an option for surgical vs. non-surgical removal. Surgical excision is a possibility in some patients; whereas others with more diffuse fillers may benefit from intralesional therapy using scar modulators and enzymes and kenalog. Radiesse complications may be long-lasting and prompt action is key. Patients who have no access to an expert in the field should begin gentle massage of the areas of nodularity with Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily. RF and invasive lasers can actually do more damage by stimulating further collagen growth.

Answer: Radiesse Thank you for your question.Radiesse typically last 6-9 months in my experience. In some patients it can last up to a year, it really depends on how fast your body metabolizes it. You can start massaging the areas of injections to help speed up the dissolving process.

Answer: Radiesse I am sorry you do not like your Radiesse. While it is true that, on average, Radiesse lasts 12 months, you should notice it starting to go down in 6 - 8 months. When your skin is warm (such as when you are in the shower), you can massage the area. This may help it to go down more quickly.
