I had Radiesse injections into nasal folds done on Friday and now my lip, nose and right side of the face are swallen, brused and there are small white bumps on the skin like little pimples or white heads around the bruses with white pus coming out of them. I am taking antibiotics but they don't help. My conditions is getting worse my lips, right jowl and nose are very swallen but no injection was performed into these places. Could it be a viral infection and what medication would work for it.

Answer: Radiesse complications and treatment - Los Angeles
There are many possibilities, although these complications are rare with Radiesse or other fillers. Speak to your injector immediately to make sure vascular compromise or excessive bruising is not happening. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

Answer: Swelling after Radiesse injection
This is not what should happen after a Radiesse injection. This could be one of three things.
#1- bacterial infection- should have pus, be red, hot and painful. Treated with incision and drainage of the pus with antibiotics. This is rare.
#2- A viral (herpes) outbreak. There should be many, small blisters and it should also be painful. Treatment is either acyclovir or valtrex.
#3- vascular compromise- usually caused by injection of the product into the vessel and it embolizes to the skin. You see redness, scabbing and swelling. I think this is what you have. It is rare as I have only seen it once on someone injected elsewhere.
Go back and see the person who did the injection ASAP.

Answer: Post Radiesse problem This is not a typical Radiesse reaction. You should not self prescribe antibiotics and need to be seen in followup to evaluate whether this is an unrelated situation or injection site infections. I hope you were injected by a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist using product purchased directly from the manufacturer.

Answer: Problems after Radiesse treatment
An examination of you should be able to help discern what is causing your problem. A viral infection would be a possibility and if that is what you have, there are anti-viral medications that could help. It's also possible that it's not a bacterial or viral infection. I would really recommend returning to see your treating physician to be evaluated as things should be getting better and not worse.
