How to tell if I've had silicone injected into my cheeks?

Asked By:evangeline jamie in Avon Park, Florida

How would I know if a nurse injected me with silicone instead of "Radiesse" in the cheeks? Are there any visual ways of telling? Does silicone feel different from Radiesse? Sometimes my cheeks become hot and I need to ice them is that a side effect of something? Could I feel the difference in the touch? Help. Also would an MRI or x-ray scan be able to tell me whether or not it is Radiesse or if it's not? Thanks.
