Lumps from Hyperdiluted Radiesse, what can I do to fix this? (photos)

anain305Apr 18, 2022
I had hyperdiluted radiesse done about a year ago and developed a few nodules around my mouth. The doctor injected me with (I think) sodium thiosulfate and it seemed to reduce them. However, I just got fillers around my temples and in the top corner of my nasal labial folds, which seemed to lift my jowls up quite a bit. Now I can see that I still have a couple of nodules. One is in my cheek and the other is in the corner of my mouth, above my lip. Please help!

G2005, it is difficult to evaluate without a proper exam, though I do feel you would see improvement with diluted Radiesse. Studies have shown that Radiesse stimulates new collagen and elastin production which reduces fine lines and smooths out the skin. Alternatively, a more permanent solution...
