I had radiesse into bridge of nose a month ago. The dr seemed to overfill d area bet eyebrows.i didn't say anything as I thought it's usual swelling & it will look normal in some days.Now,after a month,it's looking very prominent like a nodule (I feel d filler)& skin over nose is red and peeling .there is NOpain.im worried -is it inflammation or infection?I went to the same dr -he did a steroid shot & antibiotics for 2weeks. the thing isI can NEVER take antibiotics as it messes my whole system

Answer: Radiesse nodule in nose If this occurred immediately after treatment, I'd advise you to follow up with your doctor immediately, since this may be an early sign of an occluded vessel. Since it's a month later, the Radiesse can be injected to reduce the nodule. I strongly preferJuvederm for contouring the nose, since it can be reversed with Hylenex. At this point 5FU or very low dose steroid injections can help to break up lumps caused by Radiesse. If the skin in the area is red and flaking, using 2% hydrocortisone might relieve the symptoms. Make sure to see an injection specialist who is familiar with treating these issues and can re-inject later if needed.

Answer: Radiesse in bridge of nose I would be reluctant to inject #Radiesse in this area. HA fillers are safer and reversible.You will need to go back, possibly for multiple sessions, with saline injections, or 5 FU, and possibly Pellevé, ultrasound, or Thermage. If your physician thinks antibiotics are appropriate, I would tjae them and then take probiotics to help your gut to recover (Orthobiotics is an excellent brand and you can get this on Amazon.com).This will get better with time. So sorry you are having to go through this.All the best! Dr. Clark
