I liked the Radiesse..after a month or so it seemed like I lost the volume I got immediately. Now putting some Voluma over same area. What filler has more product and less carrier gel..more bang for the buck so to speak?

Answer: Radiesse vs voluma best bang for buck I love both of these products for filling the cheeks. In general with voluma what you see at the time of injection is what you get. Radiesse works differently and because many do see the initial decline in volume before the collagen grows in, I tend to shoot for slight "over correction" at the time of injection which settles over a week or two. In my practice radiesse is less expensive, but the advantage of voluma is that it is reversible and for some this is more reassuring. while both are great for filling I love them for their power of lifting. Good luck.

Answer: Radiesse is supposedly 70% carrier gel and 30% product...what has more product for the money? Thanks for writing,I use Radiesse almost exclusively and think it is great. Over 6 weeks it converts to your own collagen, vs a gel that sits there and resorbs. There are times that I layer the Radiesse so I continue to building volume.It may be the areas that were injected, it could the volume placed in each area. Where you cheek bones injected? I find this to me one of the most powerful areas of injection for Radiesse. The material works well but it is very much so technically driven, I do all my own injecting and have yet to hear your concerns. Good LuckStephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery
