Hollow Area at Back of Cheek and Jaw - Oklahoma City
ORIGINAL POST
My right side wisdoms teeth grew in so crooked,...
$600
My right side wisdoms teeth grew in so crooked, they caused significant bone loss up against my back molar. Overtime (10 yrs) the bone loss caused a hollow sunken area. I used sculptra and it improved this area, but it did not correct it to the level I wanted. At the suggestion of the Drs on here, I tried Radiesse and so far I'm trilled with the results. They had a special, so I was able to get the 1.5cc syringe for half off. The area could probably use a little more, but I'm going to wait it out for now.

Radiesse Before and After Pics
Here are the before and after pics. The after pic was taken 1 day after. There is still a small dent there but much better. After a month, I'll prob go back and have more injected.

Looks good, could you tell me who you went to? I'm looking looking for someone in OKC.

Thx u! I went to Dr Michelle Cohn. I went there initially because she had a groupon special. I liked her and was happy with the results, so I kept going back.

I have a dent in my left cheek, deeper than yours and not as far back. Makes my face look very assymmetrical. I had the second molar pulled over 10 years ago, took a long time but I'm sure that's what caused it. Have wondered what to fill with, thanks for the info. Yours looks good :)

Thx, honestly it took me a really long time to figure it out also. I kept having the dr inject more and more sculptra, thinking that just one side of my face than the other. I kind of tripped over an article on the internet that talked about the impact of missing teeth and bone on the cosmetic appearance of your face. I knew I had the missing bone back there, so I had the lightbulb moment. From what I've read, voluma xc might actually be the better option and last longer but I got the radiesse for 50% off so I went with it. I love fillers!! :)

Also...how is it sold? and how much does it cost?

They are sold by the syringe. Typically it runs about $600 a syringe. I bought mine on amazon local for $300. I decided, I needed another syringe added to the dent. The amazon local deal had a 1 per customer limit, but I found a groupon for same deal at the same place so I also bought one from there. I'm having that one injected today.

Second treatment
For the first treatment I bought it through Amazon Local for 50% off of 1 syringe, so I paid $300. The amazon local special had a 1 per customer limit. The 1 syringe def improved the area, I still felt like it needed more but I wasn't willing to pay another $600 to get it. Especially since the effects of Radiesse fillers are not permanent and typically last less than a year. I found a Groupon for %50 off at the same medical spa, so I decided to do it. I had it done about 2 hours ago. It is really lumpy and bumpy right now, but i remember it being that way last time too, so I'm not worried about it. I'll take some more after pics once the lumps go away. Since this is the second treatment, it was hard to get a good picture showing the dented/hollowed area. It is def one of those things that only I ever notice, but I really think it does change the overall look of my face. So even though nobody ever noticed the dent before I had it filled, I think filling it greatly improves the look of my face.
