Is It Normal To Have Severe Allergic Reactions To Radiesse?

Question

Do many people have bad antithoractive response to radiesse, throat closing, hives, swollen hands or feet?

Steven Hacker, MD · Answer

I have never heard of this type of reaction to Radiesse but it is theoretically possible but highly unlikely. However given the severity of these symptoms that must be treated immediately and taken seriously.

Peter A. Aldea, MD · Answer

You describe a life threatening anaphylactic shock - a major allergic reaction. While it can potentially happen, I have NEVER heard nor seen such a reaction in one of our patients in in the patients of known colleagues of mine.

Robert L. Kraft, MD, FACS · Answer

I have never seen a patient with an acute anencephalic reaction to Radiesse. Localized reactions can occur, in the form of inflammation which will resolve over time.

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

You are describing a very serious anaphylactic reaction to the Radiesse, which has never been reported to my knowledge. Allergic reactions are unusual and are confined to the tissue where the calcium hydroxyapatite was injected. If you had such a problem I doubt it was caused by the Radiesse.

Francis R. Palmer, III, MD (retired) · Answer

I have used Radiesse on many patients for facial augmentation of the cheeks, chin and jaw line without them experiencing the symptoms you describe.  You might want to contact the company rep for more information on reported allergic reactions.
