Should Radiesse Be Removed Before Mid Face Lift and Fat Grafting?

April 30, 2009
Asked By:Petra in MO in Springfield, TN

I got Radiesse injections a few month ago. The effect has not yet worn off. I want a mid face lift and permanent fat grafting. Can a plastic surgeon remove the Radiesse from my face or do I have to wait till it has worn off?I got Radiesse in my mid face four months ago to relief the nasolabial folds. Can a plastic surgeon remove the Radiesse from my face or do I have to wait till it has worn off?
