I just got radiesse in my cheeks 2 weeks ago and I need a touch up. But now I am at a location where I cannot get radiesse and can only get HA products like perlane, juvederm ultra and voluma. Will putting HA fillers after I got non-HA fillers increase the possibility of a reaction? Since I heard it mixing fillers may encourage seeding of bacteria. Is it safe?

Answer: Adding an HA filler to an area where Radiesse was placed is fine This is done all the time. There is no need for worrying about increased infection. At the current time, I believe there are better choices available than Radiesse - Voluma, Sculptra, Perlane.

Answer: Using different types of fillers together Using different types of filers together is fine. Usually we recommend Radiese first as it's placed deeper in the skin. Then an HA filler can be placed over it. I have done this numerous times with no issues. As long as you see a well-trained physician injector you should be just fine. There is no increased risk of bacteria or issues of reaction between the fillers.
