Radiesse In Jaw. When can I sleep on my side?

It is advised to avoid sleeping on your side for at least a week after receiving Radiesse filler injections, as this can cause the filler to shift and impact the treatment results. Radiesse remains moldable for up to two weeks post-injection, and pressure on the treated area can reduce its effectiveness. To help minimize swelling and avoid pressure on the treated areas, sleep on your back with your head elevated on pillows.

Thanks for your question. If your Radiesse was injected by an experienced, board-certified cosmetic dermatologist, there is no reason to think the filler will migrate if you sleep on your side. Ideally, it would be optimal to avoid pressure on it for three days, either by sleeping on your back or folding your pillow when on your side so that there is minimal pressure on the jawline. Keep in mind that side-sleeping tends to increase wrinkle production in the face overall, so it is best to try to sleep on your back. Hope this helps!

Hi, Thank you for your question!
This is not something you should be worried about since Radiesse (filler) shouldn't move. If you would like to be worry free, I suggest to go back to your regular sleeping position in 3-4 days after the filler was injected. I recommend to see the expert who injected you for further information. Best of luck!

I generally think it is best to discuss after injection care with the physician who injected your Radiesse, as different physicians may have different preferences for care after the treatment.  I do not advise my patients to avoid sleeping on their side after a Radiesse injection.  

Hello there! I typically recommend patients avoid side-sleeping for several days post-filler anywhere in the lateral face. After that time there is minimal to no risk that anything will change. That being said, sleeping on your back is the best position to decrease pulling and wrinkling of the skin. There are pillows available to help to assist with this way of sleeping. Cheers!

Radiesse location should not be impacted by your sleep position, so you can feel free to sleep as you are comfirtable from that point of view. Side sleeping can cause wrinkling of the skin.
I hope this is helpful. 

if your filler was injected by a trained plastic surgeon or dermatologist, the filler should not move. The only place where the filler may move is the lower eyelid and that's where hyaluronic acid fillers should not be injected. You can resume sleeping in any way that's comfortable to you.

There is no problem sleeping on your side and this will have no effect on the duration or the position of the Radiesse
