How long does swelling last after Radiesse injections?

Most patients see a brief swelling for 2-3 days.  On the second day it is usually minor and gone on the third.  Keeping the area cool and massaging with moisture cream in an upward direction toward the ear will assist. 

Most
side effects of treatment resolve within a few days and, like HA fillers, many
patients return to work and play immediately after treatment.

Cooling with ice (never directly on the skin), head elevation, Arnica, Bromelain and Advil after a few days will tend to help with swelling. Typically swelling is mostly resolved within the first week or two for most of my patients.
