Radiesse on Actual Cheekbone? (photo)

Question

Is this a usual procedure to place the Radiesse on the bone itself? I wanted the filler because of the hollow look to my face. After 3 vials and 7 weeks these are the results.

Vivek Bansal, MD · Answer

Sometimes individuals will need more than 3 syringes to get the volume they need. I would recommend for you to go back to the place where you got it done and have them assess it.

Radiesse is calcium hydroxyapatite and can be injected directly onto bone. If you desire more volume correction, facial fat grafting should be considered. Kenneth Hughes, MD facial fat grafting Los Angeles, CA

Radiesse can be used on the bone and probably lasts a long time there. However, because it is so deep, more porduct is going to be required to get a similar result with the product in a more shallow position.

I use Radiesse successfully on the soft tissue of the cheeks and this provides an excellent way to enhance facial proportions. Surgery90210

Kouros Azar, MD · Answer

I have had many patients from their 30's and up looking for a more fuller/rested look. Radiesse injected along the cheekbones can soften and define the face without looking over-exaggerated. The swelling will be visible the first day or two but disappears after that. Beautiful cheekbones are created to help direct the eye and skin in a new direction. Radiesse works with your own collagen and can last up to a year! Also, because it is injected deep within the dermis, the level of discomfort is extremely minimal.

Donna Bilu Martin, MD · Answer

Radiesse is one of my favorite fillers for cheek enhancement. It is a thicker filler than the hyaluronic acids and often will provide more lift, but needs to be injected deeply for best results. It can be injected in the fat or over the bone, but should not be injected in the dermis, because this will result in lumps. It is also a very nice filler for correcting jowls and contouring the jawline. Because this product cannot be dissolved (unlike the hyaluronic acids), it is important to have a board certified physician with experience in cosmetics perform the injections.

Sandra J. Fearrington, MD · Answer

Radiesse is best placed just over the bone (periosteal) or at the level of the deep dermis. It could take more than 3 syringes to give you the desired result and to give you more of a full face treatment you may wish to consider Sculptra as an alternative. It's always best to follow-up with your provider.

Anatoli Freiman, MD · Answer

Radiesse is a deep soft tissue filler which works well for volume augmentation.  I typically place it on the facial bone plane areas to give the best results.

Your hollowness is in the cheeks, the radiesse on the cheek bone will make the hollowness more pronounces.

Channing R. Barnett, MD · Answer

We often use Radiesse for facial volumizing and cheek enhancement. When done correctly by an experienced injector, it is a great filler. I agree with a prior a response in that, based on your pictures, it appears you may need more enhancement in the lower cheek area (lower half of the face). I recommend you follow up with the doctor who did the injections for discussion of possible further treatment. Good luck!
