Can bones like wrists or ankles have fillers injected in to them?

Question

Can the wrist bones or ankle area be increased (mass) with fillers like Radiesse? Has this ever been done before/is it safe to put fillers in these areas?

Ali Riza Öreroglu, MD · Answer

Filler cannot be injected into the bone. And also not everywhere under the skin. However, fat grafting may be an option for you depending on what you want and your anatomy. A physical examination would be needed to make further comments.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

No, fillers are not injected into bones. They are injected in areas to create volume, like cheeks, temples, lips, chin, etc. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

I'm not sure what the purpose of doing that would be.  If you are referring to joint injections, hyaluronic acid products are FDA approved for knee injections, but not other joints to attempt to reduce chronic pain associated with arthritis.  These are different products than those injected into the face, however.

No, fillers are not injected into bones. However, they can be injected in soft tissues like the face and dorsum of the hand. Restylane Lyft was recently approved by the FDA for injection to the hands, the first HA filler to have this indication.

Fillers are used to add volume to soft tissue  in places like the face or hands and is not used to add volume to bone structures.
