I got radiesse injections in my cheeks 6 days ago. Swelling progressively getting worse. What should I do? (photo)

While some swelling is perfectly normal and to be expected, it is fairly unusual that it is getting worse after six days. I recommend revisiting the doctor that did the injections to make sure you are not having a reaction or infection. 

Thank you for your question and photos. Some swelling of the face is not uncommon after Radiesse injections.  It typically resolves within a week.  Higher volume injections will obviously cause more swelling. If your swelling is not better after a week, then it is reasonable to seek consultation from your doctor to make sure you are not having an infection or reaction.  Non-steriodals at higher doses can be effective.  Discuss this matter further with your doctor.

Hi Teannie.  The swelling looks profound enough that you should request an appointment with your injector or the supervising physician.  There are other options besides Advil and Benadryl that may help and those options should be considered after seeing you in the office.
