Uneven Swelling After Radiesse Injection

February 19, 2011
Asked By:meli79 in texas

Had Radiesse to cheeks 3 days ago, saw doctor the next day over concerns about uneven swelling on left side. Doctor says he believes a blood vessel was hit during injection. He pressed on it and asked if it hurt and I responded that it was very tender, but he didn't say anything in response. The other problem is that the most of the cheek seems a little hard right now on that side. Have been using Arnica, ice/heat therapy, and ibuprofen and am so terrified right now. Was this done properly?
