I Look Fake with a Fat Face and Large Cheeks After Small Amount of Radiesse - New York, NY

$1,200
My doctor (whom I like and trust) injected each cheek with .5cc of radiesse two weeks ago. I hate the results. My face looks fat and round and I just look fake. I'm desperate for the radiesse to go away, but I have a long way to go. I hope this is still swelling and not final results. It can't be dissolved. I advice you to stay away from this product unless you're certain you'll like the results. It's not reversible.

Hey Vanessa. Have you tried Endermologie. I wish I had known about it after my Radiesse disaster. It's helping me now. Two years later. Find someone who is properly trained with it though. Like all things, skill makes a difference. Best wishes to you.

Have similar problem - after 7-8 years can Endermologie break up or dissolve collagen build up / scar tissue from Radiesse injections ?

Juttingjute,
How many radiesse injections did you get? Do you still have radiesse 8 years after your initial injection?

It lasted much longer in cheek bones. Around 8 yrs. That area doesnt move so maybe the filler lasts longer...not sure.

If ai recall it was a very small amount. Tried Juvederm as a test drive, then a year later did a small amount on the wide part of the cheek bone - about 1/4 a syringe on each side. Maybe as much as 1/2 on each.
It just took a little.

Gonna go today and have Hyaluronidase injected into cheek area where ai thought volume was due to Radiesse, or even previous Juvederm or Restylane.
If its an HA filler from years ago, it would work.
If it's scar tissue from Radiesse, then they have 5FU they can inject into area.
We shall see!

Did you try the 5 fu on radiesse? I only have scar tissue left from it and I’m considering 5 fu

It turned out to be just swelling. 3-4 weeks after the injections my face looked fine. I got lucky.

I wish I couple get injectable to last that long,, if that is your current picture I think you are pretty!

you look stunningly gorgeous with your radiesse injections. You look much younger now. I think all the negativity is just in your head, but you are looking very pretty now.
I'm really sorry to hear you don't like the way your Radiesse turned out. :( Here is a Q&A that might help with your question of whether or not it is still swelling:
