I have had a headache which seems to be getting worse above my eyebrows since I got radiesse injections two days ago. Could it be from the injections? What should I do about it? Should I go to a doctor? I have had the injections one other time with no side effects.

Answer: #Radiesse - Can Radiesse cause headaches? Anything is possible but headaches are not typical or usual after Radiesse injections, at least in my experience. Temporary headaches can occur from bruising or swelling in the regions of the injections, and the resultant impact on the muscles could cause pain.But it should go away fairly quickly, and if there is any question of persistence or, certainly, worsening, or just to be cautious, you should contact your physician (plastic surgeon or internist) to touch base and see if he or she has other recommendations for you at this time.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of RealSelf100

Answer: Headache after Radiesse Some people will get headaches after injectables but it is usually from the "stress" they perceive, and not the actual injections or item injected. You should see your injector if this persists, but most commonly, it's just from stress or tension about having the procedure done.
