Is 1.5 cc of Radiesse enough to even out my cheeks and give them fullness? (photos)

brixanderMar 18, 2015
I was in an accident and broke my left cheek bone so there was an obvious difference between the two sides. About a year ago I got sculptra done along with a little juvederm to kind of even them out and the look was ok for a while but I feel like the juvederm did most of the work so I've had about two more syringes put in since then and it's gone already. Is 1.5 cc of radiesse split between both cheeks a good option with a little juvederm to make them fuller and more lifted?

HA and stimulatory fillers often go hand in hand to improve superficial and deep soft tissue in the face. Mixing of fillers is commonplace and should not pose any viable problem. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

This is a difficult situation.  I like loyalty with my patients, but filler is often unpredictable and more may be required than what is done at a given setting.  Having good before and after photos really help clarify this issue most often.  If someone is unhappy though,...

I have never had this type of complication after 8 years of injecting radiesse in this area. I suggest seeing an ENT physician for a further evaluation to see if these symptoms are due to the filler (which I do not suspect they are) or related to other issues.  Best, Dr. Emer.
