Tissue damage and swelling from Radiesse and aggressive manipulation?

May 26, 2019
Asked By:kokopelli5128 in Richmond, VA

Excessive radiesse injected in the massater muscle area of my jaw. Aggressively tried to manually manipulate the radiesse for about 3 months after injection.15 months after the injection, if I touch that area of the massater muscle, it feels painful and it responds by becoming inflamed. Area disproportionately large. I cannot tell if the disproportionate size is due to remaining radiesse or long term persistent swelling. There is not an original injector to consult.
