Radiesse Does NOT Last on Me- Could It Be Possible That Perlane Will?

Radiesse tends to last at least nine months if not more than a year.  If yours doesn't then it might be an unusual metabolism you have for the product of it's the technique.  With the same physician, try Perlane or Juvederm UltraPlus or Perlane, which are the thicker hyaluronic acids, or fat injetions, or Sculptra.  These volumizers work differently, and I am confident that regardless of the lack of benefit you had with the Radiesse, that your doctor will find a material that will last more than six months for you. If not, then you should get a second opinion.

In our experience, Radiesse tends to be a better option than the hyaluronic acid dermal fillers (Perlane, Restylane, Juvederm, etc) when a patient is not maintaining expected duration.  Generally, we have not found it to be the reverse as you are asking although anything is possible.

As other panel members suggested, technique may be an issue as well as realistic expectations as to what dermal fillers are able to achieve.  You may want to consider an evaluation/treatment with a different practitioner before resorting to cheek implants.

If Radiesse is not working for you then Perlane or Juvederm Ultra Plus would be other options. My experience would dictate that neither of these products will last longer than Radiesse; hyaluronic acid fillers may last 7-9 months, compared to Radiesse which lasts 9-12 months. Product volume and injection techniques may play a role here, but I gather from your statement that you are happy after the treatment, just not with the short duration the product lasts. Other options to consider would be fat grafting or cheek implants, both of which should be performed by an experienced surgeon. Best wishes.
