Hello, I had radiesse injected to smile lines about 17 months ago. I am now 36 weeks pregnant and have noticed that the areas dearest the corners of my mouth are very puffy in a way that looks verry unnatural. Im wondering why my body is reacting like this 17 months after radiesse injection and if it will ever go away. Im really concerned. Thank you
I got Radiesse injected in my undereye area, cheeks, and nasolabial folds about 7 months ago. The products caused persistent swelling and large lumps, that make my face look grotesque. I underwent a lower blepharoplasty 3 months before the Radiesse injections. All the procedures were performed and suggested by the same doctor. I am feeling desperate. Will those hard bumps ever dissolve?
About 8 years ago I had radiesse injected beneath my eyes. On one side there's a swelling that never went away. We have tried over the years to use other fillers to even it out on both sides. It has helped a tiny bit. You can see it pushes into the eye. It's especially bad when I smile with my teeth. I am very careful about my positioning and not smiling with my teeth. I read Dr karamanoukian response. He sounds so knowledgeable! I am hoping I can find someone in the San Francisco area
I had Radiesse done a few years ago for my cheeks to give my face a lift because I felt I was sagging. Having had Botox for years, I am fine with needles but this I found extremely painful, the next day I looked terrible. I thought, what have I done?! I had a black eye, I looked like a chipmunk, and my son said it looked like I had two snooker balls in my cheeks, but I have to say that after a few weeks it calmed down and I was pleased with the look. I am thinking about having it again but am concerned about the swelling. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi, I had radiesse 5 1/2 months ago. I have had it flushed with saline 3 times, but there is some swelling/puffiness left. I am going to do some 5fu/low dose kenalog to reduce the remaining collagen. What are the risks and long term affects if this aside from atrophy? Is there still atrophy risk with very diluted kenalog, such as a kenalog 3 or 5?
I had 1 syringe of Radiesse (mixed w/lido) to tops of my cheeks. I'd had restalyn in the tear trough 6mos prior. It has been a nightmare. Severe swelling, inflammation, pain (day3-now). I'm on a 30day prednisone taper which has controlled the severe edema (for now). The discoloration is unrelenting. Using hydrquinone & tretinion, too. Is this discoloration in the skin or under the skin? How can I understand if it is due to active irritation, or the remaining effects of a prior reaction?
I had radiesse injections placed under the eye area over a year ago, and the area is still swollen. Certain days will look way worse. And one eye is definitely worse. Dicoloration has also been a nightmare. I went to an allergist recently who prescribed prendisone- and it worked. Don't want to stay on prendisone. Help!
