I've had Radiesse treatment to enhance my cheekbones three days ago. Yesterday I started to experience mild pain on the right side where the Radiesse was injected. I have no redness, allthough I think that my right cheekbone feels a little warmer than my left cheekbone. I also experience a strange sensation in my right ear (kind of a mild pressure).
