Will a Kenalog Injection Help Reduce 'Bulky' Radiesse Results?

jcstarjewel
It's been 7 days since I had Radiesse injected on my nasolabial area, and I don't like the way it looks on me. It makes my mouth and surrounding area appear bulky and unnatural. The doctor injected only 1 syringe, but it seems to me that I needed a lot less than that. I read somewhere a steroid (Kenalog) injection may help reduce down the volume. Do you agree?
