I had some Radiesse injected 2-3 days ago to even out my nose bridge, right in between my eyes, as it's a bit bigger on one side than the other. Right now that part of my nose still looks quite big, much bigger than I wanted it to. I'm not sure if it's swelling because it's only gotten a little smaller since the day it was was injected, not much of a change and it's already the 3rd day. If I go back to my doctor right now, is there anything that can be done?

Answer: Massaging with Plato's Scar Serum can help swelling or defusing radiesse if there is too much Radiesse is a stimulatory filler that is an excellent option for patients who desire a longer-lasting filler alternative to hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. In our office, we use Radiesse to complement structural areas of the face and contour bony prominences. Our office also is a center of excellence for filler complication treatments and we see patients who have been treated by other doctors and have undesirable results from Radiesse or other long-lasting fillers. We have treatment options available for Radiesse filler nodules, granulomas, and soft tissue thickening. The first step would be to diagnose the nodularity and determine whether there is an option for surgical vs. non-surgical removal. Surgical excision is a possibility in some patients; whereas others with more diffuse fillers may benefit from intralesional therapy using scar modulators and enzymes and kenalog. Radiesse complications may be long-lasting and prompt action is key. Patients who have no access to an expert in the field should begin gentle massage of the areas of nodularity with Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily. RF and invasive lasers can actually do more damage by stimulating further collagen growth.

Answer: Swelling Post Radiesse Treatment After injection, Radiesse patients may experience redness, bruising, swelling or other local side effects. Most side effects of treatment resolve within a few days. More rare side effects may include swelling that lasts longer, unevenness or firmness in the area injected, and as with any injection, there may be a risk of infection. The best way to resolve the issue is to go back to the doctor who performed the treatment and allow him or her to examine the swelling to determine whether it is a normal side effect or more severe. Best of luck.
