I have just gotten Radiesse in my chin. Can I adjust it myself if it’s too pointy?

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi and thank you for your question! While we can make some reshaping and adjustment right after injection of filler, manipulating it later on is less likely to reshape it. I wouldn't be concerned with infection, but one think to keep in mind is that if you just had the injection done, you are most likely still experiencing some swelling which can affect the results and what you see know is not necessarily the final look. I suggest you allow more time for the swelling to go down and then by 2 weeks after the injection if you are not happy with the results, do a follow up with your doctor. I hope it helps and good luck!

If it has been some time since injection I would say that manipulation of the filler will not work. It will wear down with time. Make sure you let your injector know for the future. Hope this helps. JB

If you just got the injection, then you may want to wait a few days to allow the inflammation and swelling to lessen.   If you still have the same concerns, then you should bring them to the attention of your injector.  Regular, firm massage early after injections can soften contours, either by helping reduce the swelling or mold the filler.  Your practitioner may try to alter the shape manually or may instruct you on massage.  Alternatively, your practitioner may be able to thoughtfully add filler around the area with greatest prominence in an attempt to achieve the "squarish chin" you desire.  

Thank you for your question. There should be no problem with you massaging and molding that area and it should help, if you were injected in the past few days.

FIrst of all in over 30 years of injecting fillers  i have never seen an infection and you would not get one from manipulation.  you can try to mold it some but it may be too late and it is best to return to your doctor to see but i would wait at least 7 days
