What are some complications that could arise after a Radiesse procedure? Are there specific areas where it shouldn't be used?
Answer: Potential complications of Radiesse
I have found Radiesse to be an excellent product for enhancing and augmenting the cheekbones, with very low risk of complications. It can also be injected into the nasolabial folds in certain candidates.
Complications, when they occur, include swelling, bruising, and even lumps around the injected site and are most likely to be apparent in areas of very thin skin. For this reason, I avoid injecting Radiesse into the tear troughs and the lips, where any injected product will potentially be more visible.
All injectable fillers require skill and experience to master the injection process and to discern what parts of the face will benefit from each particular product. For this reason, in my practice I choose to personally perform all injections, rather than delegating this task to a staff member.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Radiesse Complications The common complications of Radiesse are bruising, redness, swelling, and tenderness on the injection sites. Rarely after injections do some patients develop visible nodules or granulomas. It is important to discuss this with your doctor before injections, all medications, and conditions in order to determine if there is any contradiction to getting treated with Radiesse.

Answer: Radiesse - Expert Needed Radiesse is a great product for lifting because it is thick and has longevity. It should be injected on bone or in the fat layers. It is best for contouring a cheek, defining a jawline or chin, filling temples or hands. It should be avoided directly under the eyes or in the lips. It is not reversible as it is a calcium based product unlike other fillers that are made of hyaluronic acid such as Juvederm Ultra, Volbella, Voluma, Restylane, Belotero. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Radiesse side effects Great question, Common places where radiesse is injected is nasolabial folds, marionette lines, corners of the mouth, or cheeks for volume. I do not recommend putting radiesse in the lips. Putting radiesse in the lips can create a lumpy effect. I recommend juvederm or restylane for the lips. The most common complications you will run into is bruising, swelling, redness, pain/discomfort. These side effects only last for a short period of time. I hope this was helpful.

Answer: Few side effects of Radiesse Radiesse is a calcium based product in a gel which is very compatible with our skin. It should be placed in the deeper tissues of the cheeks, jaw, temples and the upper level in the tops of the hands. The areas injected with Radiesse may swell for a few days and you may experience minor bruising. Rarely, a firm area may be felt if the product is superficial. It is great for sculpting the cheeks and hands. Contour is restored with a natural rejuvenated appearance.
