I just had radiesse filler on my nose, hoping to have a higher nose bridge. But as a result my nose now looked wider and have a weird look to it. What can I do now? Should I get radiesse again to adjust it?

Answer: # Radiesse bad results? I would not advise having more Radiesse injected to "correct" a previous treatment of your nose. It might make sense if you feel you were undercorrected in a region that can support additional filler (such as the cheekbones or nasolabial folds) but the nose has very thin skin and overfilling it may result in additional problems. There is also no way to "neutralize" injected material (as there is, at least theoretically, with HA products and hyaluronidase). Most likely, simple massage of the overfilled areas (if that's what they are) will be the best course at this time. If it's very early after your injection, then some of what you're seeing may be the effect of swelling from the injection itself. Otherwise, though, there are limitations to what degree this can be reversed.Sorry about that, but it will hopefully settle down better on its own over the next few weeks. You should, of course, remain in touch with your own plastic surgeon.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. E
