I got Radiesse injected in the corners of the mouth to improve a downturned look, but I am unhappy with the results. I just got the treatment yesterday and hope that the puffiness will go down but I'm not certain it will. The improvement I got with injections in the cheek area has now been negated by how my mouth area looks--it actually caused deeper marionette lines and it looks like I have cotton in my mouth. What can I do now?

Answer: Radiesse for marionette lines
Hi,
In some patients, swelling from the injection process itself can take 3-5 days to resolve, so if you are just one day out from the injection, I would say to be patient with the result for now. Different parts of your face can disproportionately swell up, so the area around your mouth may be more swollen than your cheeks even though they were both injected at the same sitting. If in a week you still appear “puffy,” I would recommend speaking with your injector about your concerns. Oftentimes massaging the area can help the Radiesse dissipate somewhat. Good luck to you!

Answer: Radiesse I agree with some of the responses about overuse of fillers
To compensate for more invasive procedures
Especially a filler like radiesse which is irreversible
Keep ice on it and hopefully will resolve itself
You need to have time on your side
Good luck
