I want to get Radiesse injected in my cheeks i want to know is it safe to inject it superficially? I want it to look noticeable and not deep in where i can barley see a difference.
Answer: Radiesse and Superificial Injections -- NO Do not inject Radiesse superfically as it can leave the skin a white/yellow look and plaques can form. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Radiesse Radiesse is a filler that is meant to be injected deep and augment bony prominences as the cheeks or the jawline. I would highly recommend that you do not injected superficially.

Answer: Radiesse & Voluma for the cheeks Thank you for your question. Currently I use Radiesse or Voluma to help add volume to the cheeks. They are injected both superficially but the doctor may go deeper depending on your facial structure. They are both great fillers that offer slightly different advantages. Radiesse is an injectable gel that is made of calcium hydroxyapatite, which is a normal constituent of bone. It is used to plump the skin in areas that are sunken, wrinkled, or have developed lines (on your face or hands). Radiesse results last one to two years. Voluma is a hyaluronic acid filler specifically made to restore age-related volume loss to the mid-face (cheeks, cheekbones, and around the chin). Voluma lasts up to 18 months. Please consult with your doctor to help you decide which one is best for you.

Answer: Radiesse Usage Radiesse is generally injected deeper than the hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane. It is very useful for filling deeper nasolabial lines. If you are asking about using it to make the upper cheeks look fuller, similar to what Voluma is being used for, then it needs to be injected deeply. I do not fell it will get you the results you want if injected superficially in the cheeks and the chance of unwanted irregularities is high.I do not recommend or use Radiesse to fill lips and lower eyelids due to potential issues with nodules. I am aware that some injectors do use Radiesse for those purposes, and I'm sure some patients do fine, but it is not worth the risk. There are better fillers for those areas.Thank you for your question and best wishes.

Answer: Radiesse depth of injection Radiesse can be injected deeply over bone or it can be injected in the subcutaneous layer below the dermis. It is not meant for very superficial injection. Some injectors will blend Radiesse with lidocaine or saline for smoother results. Make sure to see an expert physician injector.Regards,Dr. Ort
