Is it safe to mix Radiesse and Voluma?

I find that radiesse plus works much better than voluma long term on the jaw especially if you do a little sculptra under.  The combinations are safe if done by an expert. I suggest seeing someone with experience in combination fillers.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi Poizon.  It's no problem getting Voluma after Radiesse and this is a good option given that you were underwhelmed by the Radiesse.  The concern we have with the plan is that the Voluma is usually about 50% more expensive and it will not last longer.The initial FDA approval for Voluma that received an indication of 2 years duration used an AVERAGE of 6.5 CC's of Juvederm per patient.  The reason the 2 year indication was given was that a small % of patients could still feel or see the effects of the product two years after injections.  We have never injected 6.5 CC's of product into a patient at one visit, but we are certain that if we used 4 vials of Radiesse in the cheeks (where Voluma is FDA approved for) that it would last 2 years.  The more product, the greater the duration.  In today's Voluma dollars, this would mean spending somewhere between $4,000 and $6,500 on Voluma depending on how your injector prices it.  Voluma is a great product, but it will not last 2 years unless you use a large amount of product.
