Can I combine radiesse with another filler?

Question

Had a filler (name unknown) in my cheeks about 4 weeks ago. Want to add radiesse for more fullness. Can two fillers (one of which will be radiesse) be used together in the same area?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I often layer radiesse with other fillers. I suggest you see an expert who knows how to ensure this is done properly.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank
you for your question. If you are referring to putting Radiesse on your cheek
area and then adding a different filler on the same check area, then no, I do
not suggest that. The only time I would suggest adding a different filler in
the same treatment area is if the Radiesse is dissolving quicker than
normal.  If a patient wants to do
Radiesse for the nasolabial folds and then Voluma on their cheeks, then yes I
do offer that.

Hi Jariano,Absolutely! You can add Radiesse over another filler. We do it quite often in our office. It is known as layering and patients love their results! Best, Dr Faraz

In general, fillers can be placed on top of each other but I usually avoid using two different fillers in the same area on the same day.  If there is any problem, you would not know which filler was the problem.  Radiesse is often placed deeply in the cheeks to provide structural support.  The one downside to Radiesse is that it cannot be dissolved if needed, unlike HA fillers such as Voluma or Lyft.  Make sure that you are seeing an experienced physician injector.Regards,Dr. Ort

you certainly can have a filler injected over the Radiesse for a fuller look more quickly. this is very common and not a problem but be sure you are seeing a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon

Christian N. Ford, MD · Answer

Thank you for your excellent question.  Fillers can be combined in the cheek area.  Since Radiesse is not as mobile as the other fillers, it is sometimes used as a deeper foundation for other fillers.  Please be sure to see an experienced injector for an in-person reevaluation to fully discuss your goals and expectations in order to determine which combination of fillers might be best for you.  Best wishes!
