I had Radiesse injected into the lower face 4 months ago . Not happy with the results it has made the corner of my mouth bulge and lop sided . Getting very depressed and frustrated .

I really know that radiesse is a strong filler to take out. try to wait and fix more fillers in other areas. I see your result and I really dont see what you dont like so much. why dont you take time to find other alternatives and wait radiesse will go down by itself anyway.

I have not had to dissolve Radiesse in the last 10 years of injecting it at least 3 times a week.  It produces great results and what people consider bumps or nodules is actually the product working under the skin.  Problems arise when inexperienced people inject this great filler incorrectly in superficial levels.  My suggestion is to compare before and after pictures that were hopefully taken prior to your treatment and to see what is concerning you.  I often fine that this is very helpful for the patient and myself to see pictures side by side.  In any case Radiesse will integrate with your tissues and soften in 6 months.  Please consult a specialist for your next lot of cosmetic injections.   Hope this is helpful

Thank you for your question! I’m so sorry to hear you aren’t happy with your results. Luckily, there are several treatment options to improve your results to make sure you love it. Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite-based dermal filler, and a medication called sodium thiosulfate can soften Radiesse when injected into the treatment area. Another option is to inject saline into the treatment area and massage. Over time, your body will also metabolize the Radiesse. An experienced injector can listen to your concerns and create a treatment plan moving forward that you feel comfortable with. Best of luck on your aesthetic journey!

Your best bet would be to get a whole bunch of photographs of yourself without a smile prior to your treatment with radiesse, bring those photographs with you and see a plastic surgeon who can evaluate your face in the past and your current state. That plastic surgeons will then recommend a suitable treatment. Good luck from New York City
