Radiesse Injection Went Bad?

Contact your medical provider immediately, this sounds like it can be a vascular issue or a viral infection

Best regards 

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

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.

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.

You should call your Doctor and be seen immediately.  The findings you describe could be a vascular issue, bacterial infection, or Radiesse that was injected too close to the surface.
