After receiving Radiesse injections, it appears that one of my cheeks has more fullness than the other. Can I massage this cheek to help it go down?
Answer: Messaging Radiesse Hi Samantha. Messaging Radiesse after the first 24-48 hours is difficult. The product tends to "set" not too long after injection and this makes it difficult to manipulate with message. Best bet is to go back to your injector if you feel there is asymmetry and have them do a revision injection. To see examples of Los Angeles Radiesse injections, click on the link below.

Answer: Radiesse can be defused to reduce unwanted volume Radiesse is an FDA-Approved filler that we use very frequently in our office to sculpt the contours of the face. Since we are a national center of excellence for filler reversal, we also encounter patients from other doctors' offices who wish to have Radiesse fillers removed for one reason or another. In our office, we employ a directed technique to visualize the filler material, if possible on ultrasound, and then use non-surgical methods to dissolve the filler or granuloma tissue using intralesional injections. There are many methods using a combination of enzymes, intralesional modulators of scar tissue, and Kenalog to help reduce volume and remaining filler. These techniques require meticulous attention to detail and can be performed at intervals of two to three weeks to achieve longterm effect. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Radiesse assymetry There is typically some swelling after Radiesse which is variable but can sometimes last a few weeks. This may be the reason for your perceived asymmetry. Waiting 2-3 weeks before making a final judgment on whether or not touch ups are required is recommended.

Answer: Radiesse Asymmetry I suggest warm compresses, antihistamines, and light massage or pressure. Radiesse swells often more than others if injected with needle and can take 2-3 weeks to settle down. Cannula injections next time will limit this issue. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Asymmetry after radiesse It depends on the time frame. If it is immediate post injection, gentle massage may be of some benefit. I would recommend checking with your doctor before your perform anything vigorous. He will be most aware of the volumes that were injected, and may or may not want the area massaged.
