I had Radiesse done around my nasal folds and corners of my mouth area, and now I have 1 large bump on the inside of the left corner of my mouth. When I open it you can see white, and when I smile, in the crack at the corner you see a large bump. It makes my smile funny looking, and my teeth hit it when I eat. Is there anything I can do?????
Please help...

Answer: What Can I Do About Radiesse Lumps?
In the first few days after injection, massage can help with lumps from Radiesse. However, after that, it can be a difficult problem. Steroid injections have been known to help somewhat. Because it is a foreign substance, the body tries to attack it. If the response is excessive, you may get a lump. Steroids can decrease some of the immune reaction and help soften the lump. The good news is that it will eventually go away by itself. Unfortunately it might be a year or more.

Answer: Radiesse Lumps
Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done about Radiesse lumps except to wait for them to be metabolized by the body. That is way it is so important to make sure that you are being injected by an experienced plastic surgeon or dermatologist who is board certified. There are some techniques with other injections of solutions and ultrasound which may speed of the process for the lump to resolve. Good luck.
