I'm a 52 yo noticing vertical lip lines and a little loss of volume, but I like the shape of my (natural) upper lip, and don't want to end up with a pout. I've had good results with Radiesse in nasolabial folds, but not sure that's what's needed here? I was working my way up into the teens % wise on TCA peel levels, but have not done one in a year. I'd like to fill the lines and define vermillion line but not add much volume to upper lip. Suggestions appreciated!

MOST OF THE TIME YOU DO NOT GET HEADACHES FROM RADIESSE, BUT YOU CAN EXPERIENCE A SLIGHT ONE BUT SHOULD GO AWAY AND DEPENDING ON WHERE THE RADIESSE WAS INJECTED. IF THIS CONTINUES I WOULD DEFINATELY CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN
It is usually best to avoid dental work for at least a week after having fillers injected. This is for two reasons. The first is that a particular type of infection that is very difficult to treat callled biofilms has been reported which is apparently due to the inadvertent seeding of bacteria...
This is a lot of filler, certainly more than I have given anyone in one year. i have never seen a case of "fast metabolizer." I would suggest you have #Sculptra or #Voluma in future.
