After fillers, its very common to have swelling/inflammation on the area for the first 2-3 weeks. Once healed, you are able to see your final result. In my opinion you were probably under-dosed and would benefit from another syringe to see full correction.

Radiesse is composed of two things: about 30% is calcium hydroxylapetite and 70% is a carrier gel. Over time, the carrier gel gets absorbed and your body's own collagen takes its place. The gel could get absorbed as quickly as 6 weeks.
