I had Radiesse in my chin/jaw. Is it botched? Injected too superficially? Help (Photo)

Hello,

I'm Dr. Anna Chacon, a board-certified dermatologist, and I understand your concerns regarding the Radiesse treatment you received for your chin and jawline.

Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite-based filler that is commonly used for adding volume and contour to facial areas. However, if injected too superficially or improperly, it can sometimes lead to the formation of lumps or an uneven appearance, as you described.

Based on your description of soft/hard lumps and the pulling sensation, it is possible that the filler was placed incorrectly or in an inappropriate depth. While Radiesse is not dissolvable like hyaluronic acid fillers, treatments like sodium thiosulfate can sometimes help improve the situation, although results can vary.

I recommend seeking a second opinion from a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has experience in managing complications from fillers. They can assess your situation in person and may suggest alternative treatments or interventions to address the issue.

It's important to feel confident and satisfied with your aesthetic treatments, and a qualified professional can help guide you toward resolving these concerns.

Best regards,
