Can I Sleep on the Side of my Face After Having Radiesse Injected into my Cheeks?

There is no strict or vigorous care after undergoing Radiesse injections. You should not manipulate the injected area directly, this is the most important instruction. Although it is theoretically better not to put direct pressure on the cheeks after undergoing injections, it should not change the result. From El Paso, Las Cruces, Mexico.

Unless you physically and very roughly, manipulate the Radiesse injections with your fingers, sleeping on a pillow should not cause shifting. It may cause more swelling, though, on that side by putting your head in a down position, but that's temporary.

Unless you use a rock for a pillow, no normal sleep surface will move your Radiesse out of position! You may have a slight degree of facial swelling after any type of filler injection so not working out for a day or so, and sleeping with your head slightly elevated for a day or so will help to keep this to a minimum. Any attempt to mobilize or massage Radiesse to "mold" its appearance should be done during placement.

Rest easy and sleep well!
