Can Radiesse Cause Sinus Infection?

I have had patients with similar complaints after fillers in the cheek and infraorbital (under the eye) areas.  I honestly believe there is some connection, perhaps the filler pressing on some lymph drainage.  It is hard to tell exactly what is occurring.  In one case, we had use a hyaluronic acid filler.  The patient wanted it dissolved and the sinus trouble resolved shortly after.  With Radiesse you cannot dissolve the filler.  You may try some hot compresses and also taking some Arnica homeopathic pills (under the tongue).  This is sold in health food stores.

Radiesse injections into the nasolabial folds do not penetrate into the sinuses.  The sinuses are separated from the skin by bone. 

Radiesse injections can cause temporary swelling as can a sinus infection.  Is it possible that you had a sinus infection brewing when you had the injections?

Swelling from Radiesse injections should go down after 2-3 days.  I recommend seeing how you feel after the course of antibiotics is finished.  If the swelling persists please return to your doctor for an evaluation.
