Can Radiesse Reveal Old Acne Scars?

meli79
I had radiesse injected in my cheeks 2 weeks ago. I have noticed in some areas where the radiesse was injected that there appear to be very small, ice-pick acne scars from years' past that weren't visible before the injection. I am hoping this isn't lumpy radiesse! What does lumpy radiesse look like?? What are your thoughts? Does radiesse make scars more obvious? And what do I do now? Laser treatment, or will this go down once the radiesse dissolves? I am worried I made a huge mistake.
