Is Radiesse safe and does it move from where its injected?

Question

Is Radiesse safe and does it move from where its injected? Read someones post who said it can leave the face and travel around tge body as it is calcium so this deeply concerns me. Thanks

Igor Burko, MD · Answer

Hello, my name is Dr. Burko and I am a Plastic Surgeon at SY Aesthetics in NYC. Radiesse is made up of calcium hydroxylapatite which is a biocampatibile material so it is generally quite safe to use as the body doesn't recognize it as a foreign material. In my experience, I have not had Radiesse travel or moved from where it is injected. Sometimes, small nodules of Radiesse may form at the injection site.My recommendation is to see a trained plastic surgeon who can assess you and give you their best recommendation.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

There are no fillers which travel. Radiesse is no different. Simply make sure the procedure is done by plastic surgeons with lots of experience. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
