Can Radiesse Complications Be Reversed?

In my opinion, I would stay away from Radiesse for lipstick or smoker's lines because of the thickness of the product and the lack of fat in this area.  I never use it there.   I think it would be too lumpy and not easily corrected if you did encounter a problem.  I generally prefer hyaluronic acids like Restylane or Juvederm in this sensitive area which can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase if there are any contour issues.   Other options to treat these lines include Botox which of course is temporary.  Combining Botox with Restylane is a more effective method to treat these lines than either alone.  More lasting correction of lipstick or smoker's lines can be achieved with dermabrasion, chemical peels or CO2 laser.   These treatments do have some downtime but over the most natural, long lasting results. 

Radiesse is a FDA approved filler based on refined calcium granules that serve as nice scaffold for collagen production and temporary volume replenishment. Unfortunately, it cannot be reversed if there is nodularity performed by an inexperienced injector; however it will fade over 9 months. In the hands of experienced physician injector for nasolabial folds, I believe Radiesse may offer the best value for the investment.
