Is Radiesse a better option for my hip dips? (Photos)

Question

The med spa I go to offers hip dip filler, Sculptra or Radiesse. My technician recommends to use radiesse but I wanted to get some doctors opinions on that? I've searched all over the internet and I can't find anything about radiesse being used for hip dips, only Sculptra. Is Radiesse a better option? Or no go? She said she'll do 6 vials for $2500 is this a good option for me? My dips are not a very large area I'm only 5 feet 108 pounds. I've attached photos.

we use all fillers for this often we combined sculptra + radiesse or sculptra + bellafill. radiesse doesnt come in vials it comes in syringes. sculptra comes in vials and 6 vials for 2500 is a VERY good price. actually that person will be losing money.  we do a significant amount of this in my practice often 5 times a day and 6 vials will do absolutely nothing for you.  6 syringes of fillers will not either you will need many more in the range of 20 per side over the next 3 months to really start see something. I suggest you see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

If you can do a BBL (fat transfer) it will be likely the best choice and cost effective.
Otherwise, Sculptra is done in the office and has little or no recovery period.  We do that often and get very good results.

Radiesse and be diluted and injected like sculptra in this area. The advantage of Radiesse is it can give you more immediate results and still stimulate collagen for longer duration. It takes more then 1 session so the cost can be excessive. From your back photo you have some fat in your waist area that can be liposuction and transfer to the hip dip, which is a much better longer solution.

Radiesse is a great option for this area. When diluted, it can safely be injected into this area to give you instant results. Over time, your results will improve because it is a collagen stimulator as well, just like Sculptra. But unlike Sculptra, you will have instant improvement as well.
