I got radiesse injected to get rid of my cleft chin 5 weeks ago, and now my chin looks huge. The plastic surgeon that injected it did not use the entire syringe. I don't know exactly how much but he said that I have a lot left over. My wedding is in May and I don't know what to do. . Is there any hope that this will fade away come May? Or is there anything I can do to speed up the absorption?

You are completely fine to do both, Avoid being aggressive or massaging the area when washing the face. Enjoy your filler and the great result from it.
Best wishes
I think you're a great candidate for filler in this area. With that said, Radiesse tends to work better in this area. It pushes out against the soft tissue to a great degree than Restylane which creates a more durable result. Secondly, these small clefts tend to require greater amounts of filler...
Juvederm lasts for 6-7 months on average, sometimes longer depending on the patient. Time can also vary with location of the treatment. I would recommend speaking with your physician, as they know the details of your treatment. I hope this helps, and best of luck to you.
