Filler for Flat, Creased Cheeks. Miami, FL

Hi Mila. Radiesse contains calcium spheres in a gel carrier( water plus cellulose and glycerin). The gel does dissolve over a few weeks, and then the collagen stimulation action of the calcium spheres kicks in. What you are likely seeing is the dissolving of the Radiesse gel, which is normal. Now it's a matter of time to see the result of your own collagen being stimulated, which will take several weeks, and should last 12 months or longer. Belotero is a hyaluronic acid filler, (like Restylane and Juvederm) which doesn't have the same action as Radiesse: Belotero will slowly dissolve too, over time, but it doesn't have the same action as Radiesse. Personally, I would wait and see how the result goes over the coming months and see if you are happy with the Radiesse. If you're not sure how the result is, you could decided to stick with hyaluronic acid fillers in future.Dr. Eithne Brenner

I had radiesse before and my injector told me that I would like it a lot better at 6 months than 3 months because the filler dissolves in about 3 months as the collagen is growing to take it's place. And it will begin to fill out again as the collagen begins to grow. Hope this helps.

Ask your doctor about Voluma too. It is used in the cheeks and lasts quite awhile. It is more money than other fillers usually because it is supposed to last longer.

I had the same experience with radiesse mine last only 2 months and it never filled back out again. :( i had 3 syringes in cheeks. I am going to try 3 syringes of juvederm Voluma tomorrow hopefully better luck this time.

Go with Bella fill (sp)...it is permanent tiny micro spheres. In a few years, it can be touched up after your face starts changing when you age. I have had a number of facial procedures. And this is the best stuff. An

Wow!! You look great!!! I'm an Esthetician and am currently taking some advanced education so I can be a Master Esthetician and while I can't perform injections (have to be at least a CNA) I have been learning and seeing injections such as Botox and Radiesse on patients and even fellow students. I'm now really understanding where and why Radiesse is used....same reasons as why you had yours done. You really do look amazing! At 45 I have lovely crepey skin under my eyes and my trainer/MD explained why u would be a good candidate. But until I actually saw some live befores and afters I just sort of rolled my eyes at the idea. I've seen some awful fillers on people (not from my training), but yours really does look like the purpose went very, very well.

Very nice results. You look great!

You look really good . Amazing results . I to had radiese but my results are not even close to yours . My results are terrible . skin damage ,pain swelling ,redness and I developed those begs under eyes one side more then then the other . Lucky you . I would just stay away from radiese as it can't be dissolved if something goes wrong (which I never knew nor was I ever explained ) I only knew some bumps and if something happens it will dissolve so couple months later was told no unfortanately it's not dissolvable . It all comes down to a very caring doctor and experienced injector which by all means could happen to even experienced dr but Atleast admitting to the truth saves a lot of pain and gives you clue and hope to look for a cure . Enjoy it I see a big difference . I never saw with me .I wish I appreciated my laugh lines as now they are even more visible and worse .

You look great

you look fabulous either way
